Murrumbidgee Country Club, featturing Geoff Simpson

The next Jazz Junction Live will be held on Sunday 14 March and it will be a Jazz Junction Live with a difference!

The Murrumbidgee Country Club will present a playlist of swinging jazz, and maybe with a hint of blues.  You may think of the Murrumbidgee Country Club as a sought after backing band for high profile concerts and national talent quests each year at Tamworth, for Gina Jefferies, Darren Coogan and many other country music stars: you would be right!

However, this wonderful group of musicians also plays swinging jazz and blues. The band loves to swing, sing and sashay through the songbooks of yesteryear and that’s why the members are looking forward to bringing this music to you at the next Jazz Junction Live gig.

You may well ask who the members of MCC are; well, here they are.  Dale Allison (guitar), Roger Ansell (drums), Geoff Simpson (bass), David Wall (keyboard) and Greg Wardman (pedal steel) are the highly regarded members of Murrumbidgee Country Club.  They may be joined by a guest singer or two for Jazz Junction Live.

MCC has been in existence for well over five years but we do not have many opportunities to enjoy the band here in Wagga Wagga.

So, make the most of this opportunity and, by the way, do bring your dancing shoes!

As usual, the venue is the Mirage Room at the RSL Club, Dobbs Street, Wagga Wagga and the time is from 3.00pm to 6.00pm. Entry is $15 adult, $10 pensioner and student concession, children 12 years and under free and a gold coin donation which goes to the charity for the month; in March this is Country Hope.

Of course, Jazz Junction Live greatly appreciates the sponsorship of the RSL Club, the Daily Advertiser, the Riverina Conservatorium of Music, Quickprint and 2AAAFM 107.1. Allison Music very generously sets up and donates the use of the sound system, when needed.
