SUNDAY BANDS SCHEDULE 2012:

Sun 8 Jan | 1:00pm - 3:00pm

The Fancy Brothers

The Fancy Brothers

This multiple WAMi nominated band serves up dubious bluegrass with a side dish of badly mashed country and undercooked banter. Fronted by two of Fremantle's fanciest songwriters, Jeff Strong (banjo) and Justin Walshe (mandolin) - and bound and gagged by a crackpot family string band starring Phoebe Corke on fiddle, Justin Castley on double bass and Merle Fyshwick on guitar - The Fancy Brothers make you dance like a hillbilly and cry like a mule!


Sun 19 Feb | 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Leon Ewing 1-1:45pm

Leon Ewing

Darkly humorous, satirical and theatrical beyond theatricality, Leon avoids commercialisation, eschewing specialisation, and with it the fame and fortune in exchange for the sheer joy of following his darling heart and mind to some of the less interesting and exotic places they take him.

The Stanleys 2-3:00pm

The Stanleys

Meeting and forming the band online - Mark Di Renzo, Paul Di Renzo and Jamie Horsburgh (Gigantic, The Chevelles) collaborated via correspondence with Norway’s Tomas Dahl (Turbonegro), eventually hitting studios in Oslo, Paris, Perth and Sydney to track their first generation of songs for the Always EP. The Stanleys embarked on a World Tour in 2011, which took them across Europe, the USA, Asia and Australia with an itinerary of festivals, supports and headline shows. The boys play their first shows in China for The Ming Dynasty Tour in May.


Sun 26 Feb | 1:00pm - 3:00pm Bonus February Concert!
Ben Zabbia Band

Ben Zabia Band

The Ben Zabbia Band have created a fresh sound crossing genres of folk, pop, and jazz. With grooving rhythms, strong harmonies, and polished performances , the band has appeal to a wide audience and is a unique presence emerging on the music scene. Performances have included Fairbridge, Nannup and Araluen Music Festivals. Ben released his first album in 2005 entitled ʻInto the Flameʼ and is currently working on a second album with his band.


Sun 11 Mar | 1:00pm - 3:00pm
WAYJO Ensemble



WAYJO

Established in 1983, The West Australian Youth Jazz Orchestra (WAYJO) is one of Australia’s cultural gems, providing a unique experience for jazz musicians aged 14 to 25, who are the absolute cream of young jazz players in the state. Competition for places is fierce, and those who make it are rewarded with career-defining experiences - touring, training, recording and performing with world-class guest artists. Experience the future stars of Jazz at this FREE WAYJO event!
