Gwilym Simcock and Martha Wainwright

Beautiful solo piano by Gwilym.

Then a mad dash to catch Martha Wainwright, which to be honest I shouldn't have done. She did the music of Piaf, quite well, but nothing outstanding.

Gnomeo & Juliet

Feels like an excuse for recycling Elton John songs.

Dereb the Ambassador

Well for the first time ever I saw people dancing at the Sound Lounge.

Yes, I have raved about them and they are one of my must see bands of the year.

Heat wave

The hottest weak by a long shot in Sydney. A heatwave.

Aron Ottignon, Carmen

A great start to the New Year with a gig from Aron Ottignon, Jonathan Zwartz and Hamish Stuart at the Sound Lounge for SIMA.

All were on good form. Check out the review on my meetup site. http://www.meetup.com/joinus4jazz/events/15748466/

Do you need to listen to organ music in a church, or are these the few places that have organs? So there is always a formal, omnipresent presence to organ music.

Sitting listening to Joseph Nolan playing organ in St Marys Cathedral, Hobart, feels like large country town, long sleeve cotton shirts, middle aged men in city clothes. Ladies in summer frocks.

Quiet in the cathedral but for the tapping of a keyboard and the occassional squall of a child, and of course the sound of the music rising and falling in waves.

Not much air in the church. one can imagine the heat in summer's gone by in a hot Hobart afternoon, with the congregation creating its own steam, human heat raising the temperature.
