"Downright irresistible." Not much to argue with there. Googlies is very glad to have him back.
"Downright irresistible." Not much to argue with there. Googlies is very glad to have him back.
A repertoire that runs from Count Basie to the Beatles. The Urban Big Band are regulars at Googlies and firm favourites with our Sunday afternoon crowd. If you've heard them before, you already know why they keep coming back. If you haven't, this is a fine place to start.
"A singer with a natural musician's ear and beautiful sense of swing."
A genuinely rare talent. Very welcome back to Googlies.
Dominic is known as a generous collaborator, the kind of musician other musicians want in the room. Googlies is glad to have him in ours.
Sue Richardson is that rare thing: a musician who plays trumpet and sings, and does both at the highest level.
Tim Whitehead's story has one of the great opening lines in British jazz...
His most recent album, SA and Beyond, released in 2024, won Best Traditional Jazz Album at the Mzantsi Jazz Awards in Johannesburg in 2025. Jazzwise described it as keeping alive the heritage of South African jazz for modern audiences. There is nobody quite like him. Googlies is very glad he's here.
A serious musician with a warm and swinging sound. Very welcome back, Steve!
