BOB SEDERGREEN AND FRIENDS

With Very Special Guest from Perth - Bridget Allen

Saturday 6th December 2025

Time: 8:00 pm

 

 

An evening in concert with Bridgette Allen, voice, Bob Sedergreen, piano, As a jazz pianist Bob’s legendary status need no confirmation. He has performed with some of the world’s best jazz players. His empathy with Bridgette Allan stems from many years of collaboration and touring, her repertoire spans from Brubeck to Monk to Broadway show tunes.

Only Bridgette can deliver melody and lyrics in her own inimitable and hypnotic style, and we are very fortunate she has decided to fly over from Perth   Bridgette has requested to work with drummer Gordon Pendleton   Bob’s lifelong colleague and the propulsive driving bass of Annete Yates These twos should prove to be a powerful rhythm section.

This will be an amazing reunion and a gig not to be missed!
