A great night witnessing the Legendary Jazz artist Herbie Hancock at Hamer Hall on June 9 in Melbourne. Vinnie Colaiuta was the drummer in this all star band line up. What a special treat to see the great drumming and musical skills of Herbie Hancock and Vinnie Colaiuta together on stage.
What a great day witnessing some great up and coming talent today as a guest judge for the Rockfest battle of the bands run by Cranbourne Music. Thanks Luc and Tim for giving young musicians an opportunity to perform on the big stage and your hard work in Rockfest. Thanks Rod – It was a pleasure to be part of this special event.
Well despite the weather in Melbourne leading up to the concert was very bad, lots of rainfall. It went ahead on Saturday Dec 15 as planned. It was another great afternoon of great music from all of our students and special guests. Thank you to all students, parents and special guests for your continuing support.
The show includes Indian drama, Bollywood dancing, vocal performances and our drumming group performing a mixture of indian and African rhythms.
