Friday 30^th November 2018

Time: 7:00 pm

Triple treat means three true Australian divas performing together live with a renowned and dynamic rhythm section. It’s a once a year special event!! Recording artist, bandleader and jazz identity Julie O’Hara is both an Australian and international star. Emma Gilmartin has established herself in recent times as a much loved and popular diva with audiences and musicians, singing her boundless praises. 

Bridgette Allan ‘s ability to cast hypnotic spells on her audiences has been prevalent both here and internationally for decades. The contrast between the three is mind-boggling.

Sedergreen/ Horbelt/Rosa Trio first emerged playing in the streets of Carlton in the nineties and shortly afterwards released their album The First One. They have performed with many great vocalists both in Melbourne and overseas.  Leaves audiences breathless!!
