Blackheath is a very community minded township and twice a year they organise an evening out in the Community Centre that involves music and dancing. As we seem to now be part of this extended community we were invited to the latest event and Helen and Rob made the trip up from Canberra. Ticket price covered the entry and your seat and it was BYO for anything else. Our table of about 16 all brought lots of nibbles and of course refreshments.
The band 'The Woohoo Revue' from Melbourne, was advertised as performing music with a Baltic, gypsy, swing and jazz influence. From the time they came on stage this sextet of musicians had many of the audience on the dance floor. Their performance was well choreographed and kept us entertained for over two hours. The group has been together since 2008 and does up to 100 performances a year. They are made up of a violinist,a sax player, trumpeter, bass and lead guitarist and a percussionist and each was very highly skilled in their right. As their website says this is not music to listen to on your iPod. A much larger space for this sound is definitely needed.
All in all a great night out in Blackheath.
