Presidents update march 2025

Jazzleague is pleased to welcomes Bonnie Kay and the Sweet Patooties to Central Coast Leagues Club, Gosford.

Playing for Members and guests with a modest charge of $10 entrance including a strip of raffle tickets drawn in the second break.

On Sunday April 6 from 2 pm through to 5 pm

This is the all-female band’s first appearance as Gosford in the ground floor, intimate atmosphere of Georgianas. Those music fans who love to dance will have plenty of room to exercise their limbs. The less-able can sit back, relax and enjoy the five piece band.

The outfit is very popular on cruise liners as they can play from slower tempo numbers through to jump and jive.

Bonnie Kay leads the band on acoustic guitar with her fine vocals. The other five musicians play piano, string bass, drums and trumpet.   

All girl bands have been popular over the years. For instance in the UK there was Ivy Benson and her Dance band who played regularly at the Villa Marina, Douglas, Isle of Man. It was there as a teenager on my first holiday with mates, not parents, that the three of us enjoyed this Big Band.

We have a Big Band appearing for  Jazzleague on Sunday 11th of May. This is the Dennis Walsh Big Band playing in the Park View Room which has a large dance floor. As was the fashion in the ‘hey- day’ of Big Bands they have a young female and Elise is first class.
