Sunday Jazz at the Riverbend Restaurant Wisemans Ferry, Sun 9 Nov.

Sunday 9 November, Greg Poppleton and the Bakelite Broadcasters had the great pleasure of singing and playing authentic 1920s jazz and hotcha at the prestigious Sunday Jazz Lunch at the Riverbend Restuarant, Wisemans Ferry.

For three years now, some of the big names in Australian Jazz have played at the magical Jazz Sunday Lunches at the Riverbend, held once every two months (12-3pm) at this cosy, friendly getaway by the majestic Hawkesbury River. They include Janet Seidel, Bob Barnard, Sandie White and many others. In fact, check the Riverbend website because the Janet Seidel Trio will be at the Riverbend next.

Greg Poppleton and the Bakelite Broadcasters snapped by a happy Riverbend diner. (L-r) Geoff Power (trumpet and the big silver sousaphone) Grahame Conlon (tenor banjo) Greg Poppleton (1920s vocals and megaphone) Jim Elliott ( clarinet, alto sax and the massive golden bass saxophone)

Everyone at the Riverbend had a great time, enjoying the 1920s vocals and jazz and the great food and atmosphere. The relaxing country atmosphere at Wisemans can’t help but lift the shoulders and bring a smile to your face. The bustle of city life seems so far away even though the Sydney CBD is only just over an hours drive from this beautiful headland on the Hawkesbury surrounded by two National Parks.

October and November are when the wild flowers are at their best in Sydney. The Riverbend and Australis Resort are surrounded by two national parks and front the northern-most tip of the Hawkesbury River.

When you arrive, you are served a delicious antipasto plate as your first course. You then sit back and enjoy the music and the friendly staff take your orders for your main course which is served during the music break.

I had Pan Fried Salmon with asparagus, pak choy & mango salsa verde for lunch on Sunday. It was superb!

The desert I had was Coconut Rum Pannacotta with pineapple & lime salsa. Yum!

Just an hour from Sydney, on the banks of the Hawkesbury River, the Riverbend Restaurant is part of Australis Retreat, where you can stay to enjoy the music, the town, golf, the river, the bush and the restaurant. The river and hills offer some of the most beautiful scenery in New South Wales.

The Riverbend Restaurant address is 5564 Old Northern Road, Wisemans Ferry, New South Wales, Australia
Bookings: (02) 4560 0500. The Riverbend and Australis Retreat are also wedding reception and conference function specialists.

Here’s some happy snaps I took of the first show last night on my tiny, not so flash, pocket camera.

I hope to add some official photos for you soon, taken on a much, much better camera, that will really bring out the fun and excitement of the evening.

Penny the fan dancer, brought the Gin Mill Social to The Rocks Village Bizarre with exciting choreography and breath-taking costuming (including a spectacular lit-up plastic butterfly gown) between 1920s band sets.

Greg Poppleton and the Bakelite Broadcasters, Australia’s only 1920s singer and band, The Kings of Frantica Antica, had the crowd royally entertained with Roaring ’20s hotcha, wallop and wowie a’plenty. The young woman leaping out of the audience to dance a joyously spontaneous Charleston in front of the band was an absolute highlight.

Between sets, Tom’s amazing tap dancing and Penny’s spectacular fan dancing brought roars of approval from the large, friendly and enthusiastic audience.

This photo does not do justice to the incredible tap-dancing virtuosity of Gin Mill Social tapper, Tom. He had the crowd on their feet!

See you at the next 1920s Gin Mill Social at The Rocks Village Bizarre (no cover charge) next Friday, 14 December, from 6:30pm.

The view on the way home. A quick snap I took from Circular Quay railway station using my tiny pocket camera as I waited five minutes for my train to arrive. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is on the left, The Sydney Opera House is on the right. In the middle is Sydney Cove and a ferry taking on passengers for Cremorne and Mosman. Oh, and that bright, blurry white spot on the upper right is the Moon.
