Sally Ford and the Idiomatics with special guest Peter Farnan

LIVE MUSIC 8-10PM / DOORS 7PM

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.

Joining the band for the night will be musician, sound designer and composer Peter Farnan, once a Serious Young Insect and endlessly a Boom Crash Operatic. On the eve of the release of his next solo album, Peter and his guitar will add unexpected noises, groove and colour to the Idiomatics' richly imagined musical experience.

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.
