On Sunday the trio version will pro- vide the jazzy stylings at picturesque Bago Vineyards. Chris Trotman, Geoff Kearns and Mark Spence have played together for nine years as The Jordan Jive Trio. Trotman on flute, clarinet and saxo- phone, studied jazz with the great Don Burrows at the Sydney Conservatorium and has played with revered bands including Enormous Horns, Noiseworks, Grace Knight and the Jeff Duff Band. He has done a lot of professional the- atre and cruise ship gigs. Vocalist and Hammond B3 organist Kearns was musician in his native South Africa for almost 30 years, originally as drummer before taking on the organ and singing. He has been playing in the Hastings for more than 15 years and has helped hone many a musician’s talent through Coastal Music. Music teacher and multi-instrumen- talist Spence adds his vocals to the har- monising and plays a mean drum kit. He has been on skins and percussion since he was 10 years old. Spence studied at Georgia State University, graduating with degrees in Music (jazz studies) and English litera- ture. After many years playing and teach- ing professionally in Atlanta, he arrived in Port Macquarie nine years ago after entertaining aboard Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony cruise ships. Special guest on Sunday is trumpet and flugel horn player Peter Di Losa. Born and raised in Sydney, Peter start- ed playing cornet in the school brass band at nine years old. In 1973, he performed on the high rat- ing, national television talent show The BP Holden Showcase. He came second in the grand final and it spurred his desire to pursue a career in the music industry. Di Losa has worked with many music stars over the years including Shirley Bassey, Sammy Davis Jnr, Bob Hope, Liza Minelli, Englebert Humperdink, Billy Eckstein, Lou Rawls, Tom Jones, The Four Tops, Diana Ross, Cilla Black, Petula Clark, The Temptations, James Morrison and John Farnham. We are lucky enough to now claim him as a resident of Port Macquarie and hope to hear more of him around the traps. The Jordan Jive Trio: Chris Trotman and Geoff Kearns will join with Mark Spence and special guest Peter Di Losa at Bago Vineyards for Jazz in the Vineyards on Sunday. Bago Vineyards swing to the sounds of hot jazz *MARRIED couple Jim and Sue Newman of Bonny Hills enjoy sharing their music in a casual, relaxed atmosphere and the Kendall Music Exchange is the perfect opportunity to do just that. The pair has been performing their heartfelt original songs, and carefully selected covers, together for eight years. Their style could be described as acoustic folk, sometimes with a dash of soft rock, sometimes with a hint of country, hallmarked by their beautiful vocal harmonies. Jim plays the acoustic guitar and Sue the djembe and percussion. The music exchange is also open to other musicians who are encouraged to bring their instrument along and share a few songs. It has become a popular event so whoever arrives first, plays first, and others play as per their arrival order until it’s time to pack up. Those who miss out will be first on the bill at the next exchange. *ANOTHER intimate gathering will be at the Old Scout Hall at 5 Hollingworth Street, Port Macquarie on Sunday, hosted by Climate Change Australia. Jenny Fitzgibbon has a strong, captivating voice and with her Irish sense of humour, will present a show of earth, song and storytelling. The cost for adults is $5, and those younger than 18 will be admitted free for the two hour show. Tea, coffee and cake will be provided. what: KIendall Music Exchange; Jenny Fitzgibbon in concert when: Friday, 7pm, donation; Sunday, 5pm, $5 where: Kendall Community Hall; Old Scout Hall, Port Macquarie Jim and Sue Newman
