About
Six-piece Sydney band, Chasing the Moon return to Leichhardt Bowlo for their final Sydney show for 2025!The all-star band, featuring Kathy Bluff on lead vocals & violin and Garry Steel on accordion, present a feast of Manouche and Latin inspired music, drawing on the traditions of Django Rheinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, and embellishing them with Latin flavours.
The band plays with energy and passion, bringing a freshness to the way different styles are combined, a mix of hot club with the blues, a touch of folk, Latin rhythms, plus lashings of swing and modern elements too.
"Their evocation of gypsy swing, cool blues, and continental jazz styles is peerless among Australian groups. The quality of the arrangements, the virtuosity of the instrumentalists, and Kathy Bluff’s vocals are simply outstanding.”
The band: Kathy Bluff: violin, vocals; Garry Steel: accordion; Paul Burjan: clarinet, Saxaphones; John Blenkhorn: guitar, mandolin; Merv Sequeira: double bass; & Mike Quigley: drums.
