Attention jazz enthusiasts! The Wellington Jazz Festival is back from October 16th to 20th, and it's set to be an incredible event. We have some amazing, talented jazz musicians playing so make sure you book your tables now and join us for some unforgettable evenings with the Franktastic Four, Lockie Bennett & Daniel Yeabsley, and Lisa Tomlins & Friends!----------------------------
THURSDAY 17th OCTOBER
The Franktastic Four Presents: Heavy Bop | 6.30pm | Koha on the door | Bookings strongly recommended
Just as Rock n Roll lead to Hard Rock which lead to Heavy Metal, Bebop got bluesier and more swing focussed to form Hard Bop. Frank tries to answer the question, what if just as metal made hard rock heavier, how can we push Hard Bop to its bluesiest and heaviest? Expect plenty of hits, plenty of groove, plenty of blues, plenty of swing and plenty of energy.
