Visiting Musicians

Kanga Bentley's Hot Foot Seven with Gail Kingston have proved to be to be the highlight of Festivals and Conventions everywhere in Australia and have been invited to return to WA for this Festival. Those present at the 18th WA Jazz Festival will recall the vocals from Gail Kingston, which proved an excellent combination with the style and sound of the band.

Lindsay Meech: Trumpeter/vocalist and leader of the Vintage Jazz Band of Auckland NZ. He is presently on tour with the Louisiana Shakers and will be coming from NZ to be featured with local musicians. Lindsay proved to be a "hit" at the 17th WA Jazz Festival in 2001.

Bob Ward: Trombonist/vocalist also with the Vintage Jazz Band. His experience includes playing with many UK and European musicians including Ken Colyer, Monty Sunshine, Sonny Morris and Sammy Rimington. Has also led his own band "Bob Ward and his New Orleans Ramblers" in the 1970's and 1980's. Many will remember the Vintage Jazz Band at the 1988 WA Jazz Festival in York.
