It all kicks off on Friday November 6 as part of Perth International Jazz Festival, join us from 5pm for a live set from Namora Nonet, then stick around for a free night of jazz in the Courtyard.
Throughout the series you can enjoy the the afro beat vibes of Grace Barbe and Queency, the electronic ambience of Segue and Elsewhere / Rebecca, the folk and country of Littler Lord Street Band and Lincoln MacKinnon and Wrecking Train and the eclectic and neo soul sounds of Material World Orchestra and Freehand.
