Sally Ford and the Idiomatics with special guest Alice Garner

LIVE MUSIC 8.30-10.30PM / DOORS 7.30PM

TICKETS $20 + BF

Sally Ford and the Idiomatics play songs of life, love and lived experience. This newly formed trio emerges from the multi-faceted musical provenance of its members, with backgrounds in latin, ska, jazz, brass band, pop and funk.

Patrick Cronin and Michael Havir provide lush backing arrangements to Sally Ford’s wryly-observed lyrics. The underscore of keyboards, samples and electronica is embellished by trombone, saxophone, flute and even a spot of whistling.

Adding some old fashioned strings magic on the night will be Alice Garner on cello and mandolin.

These musicians bring to The Idiomatics their collective legacy of leading or performing with bands such as the ARIA-winning Melbourne Ska Orchestra, the Spaghetti Western Orchestra, Texicali Rose, Xylouris Ensemble, Yothu Yindi, Sally Ford and the Pachuco Playboys, Joe Camilleri’s Black Sorrows, Frank Yamma, Skazz and the Endlings.

Original tunes and freshly interpreted classics come together in this richly imagined musical experience.

MICHAEL HAVIR - keys, sfx

ALICE GARNER - cello, mandolin
