Get excited because the one and only Remy Kouakou Kouame is coming from France to teach and share alongside the amazing Ramona Staffeld, and Eamon McNellis's The Skellingtons are playing the Saturday Night Party!
Here's a little bio about The Skelliongtons:
Led by award-winning trumpeter and singer Eamon McNelis, The Skellingtons have become a regular fixture on Australia’s swing dancing scene: featuring at Canberräng, at Jumptown Jam (collaborating with pianist Gordon Webster), at The Wangaratta Jazz Festival and at the Melbourne Lindy Exchange.
Playing tunes from the catalogues of Billie Holiday, Lil Hardin, Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton, and Hoagy Carmicheal and more, The Skellingtons will have you moving to their own energetic, swinging take on the jazz music of the 1930’s and 1940’s.
Eamon McNelis was the 2010 winner of the National Jazz Award for Brass and is known for his work with Chris Tanner’s Virus, Flap!, The Big Idiot Club, JAZZPARTY, The Meltdown, Chonk!, and many others.
