The Band have been playing together for around 10 years and in that time have performed at a wide range of venues. Much of their work is promotional, especially around Christmas time. The trio is mostly used in shopping centres at this time of year. We also have done many vintage car shows, race meetings and even funerals.
Adding one or two extra members when doing functions where dancing is encouraged. We recently had a two year stint at the Rosstown Hotel as a six piece band and we regularly perform with this band for the Victorian Jazz Club at its various venues.
Our repertoire is extensive and consists mainly of traditional New Orleans jazz numbers.The full line up is trumpet, trombone, clarinet, tuba, banjo and drums. Both the trumpet and trombone players sing with the occasional song sung by the reeds player.

The Band is a unique Australian ensemble, performing a rarely-heard repertoire on historically important instruments, to form a consort rich in possibilities.
An instrumental line up of winds, strings, brass and percussion, presented with voice allows for exciting sound combinations reflecting the various instrumental groupings of the period. The group follows the sixteenth century performance practice of ornamentation, diminution and embellishment.
The ensemble comprises leading early music specialists who share a passion for and commitment to music performance. Their vibrant musicianship combined with their improvisatory skills has established their reputation with both audiences and critics for presenting innovative programs and dynamic performances.
The 5 piece ensemble consists of cornetto, shawm, sackbuts & percussion
