It’s been over 10 years since Trish hung up her ‘Idea of North’ acappella hat. During her 15 years with Canberra’s ARIA-winning group, her song-writing was well utilized, and her efforts garnered several prestige awards. These days, Trish has returned to what she loves best – a small, tight ensemble performing original material and arrangements of favourite jazz standards in which the voice functions both as storyteller, and as an additional instrument, wordless and blended. Along with her duties as Head of Vocals, at Wollongong Conservatorium, Trish continues to perform and record. Her 2017 album, The Game, (ABC Jazz Digital) was shortlisted for a 2018 ARIA “Best Jazz Album “and her latest EP of original material is due for release in early 2024, hot on the heels of the debut EP for her vocal trio LYHRA.

Celebrate International Jazz Day with the feel-good harmonies of WollCon’s  Hummingbirds, and jazz songstress Trish Delaney-Brown!

With a swag of awards to her name, Trish Delaney-Brown continues to be a creative force in the Australian jazz scene.  A 'musicians singer', Trish has tackled everything from music theatre, opera and cabaret to jazz ensembles, big bands and a cappella - but jazz is her home.  There, in her own arrangements and compositions, her unique and uplifting presence and voice find their highest expression.  

Joined by 3 of the nation's premier musicians: Jeremy Sawkins (guitar), Hugh Fraser (bass) and Nic Cecire (drums),  Trish will present a set of her favourite standards, celebrating improvised and original jazz music. 

Ably supporting her is WollCon’s vocal jazz ensemble, The Hummingbirds - a rich blend of diverse voices creating harmonies reminiscent of the classic female ensembles of the 30’s and ‘40s.  Their uplifting, lively, swinging,  feel good sound will have you tapping your toes and humming along.

The Hummingbirds are:

Anita Grassy  |  Alison Windsor  | Sara Grayndler  |  Niambh Begley  |  Jenna Hogan  |  Sue Ashbolt  |  Rhiannon Bannenberg  |  Ella Fakes  |  Stephanie Bannenberg  |  Katrina Love-Evans.

BYO drink, a sun hat, maybe a picnic and a blanket or chair and settle in for a musical treat. The band will commence at 3:30pm and play two sets but you are welcome to arrive from 3pm onwards to secure a good spot. Should the weather turn against us, there is ample room undercover to enjoy the music. Parking will be available at the front of the property.

SiSi: the weavers are a collective of south coast female creatives combining their threads of eclectic musical experience and focus into an exploration of groove, lyricism, freedom and spirit. 

Style and genre take second place to playfulness and presence.  Vulnerability and soul are the warp.  Rhythm and communication the weft, weaving a pattern of interconnected stories to provoke thought and encourage emotion. 

SiSi will be hitting the Lazybones Lounge stage this coming November, as part of SIMA’s Sydney International Womens Jazz Festival.
