They play 30’s and 40’s jazz and swing hits through to infectious pop, disco, funk, soul-infused tunes from the 80’s and 90’s that will make the dance floor a hard place to leave.

They are, currently, the only band on the Far South Coast who can showcase this range of music styles in one show.

Their recent performances in this year’s Jazz Festival were extremely popular.

Band Leader, Candy McVeity (Kitty) has enthusiastically and stylishly melded a mix off gifted musicians who love playing together in the Band of Thieves.

The line-up incorporates Kristy Ellis on keyboards who has “done time for stealing keys and knowing too many chords”.

The rest of the band all have more than 30 years of experience playing ‘just for us’.

John McVeity (bass), Conrad McMullen (guitars), and John Fraser (drums) who has “done time for skin beating”. On the front line is Kitty, marshaling the vocals with alto saxophone.

This time they will have the addition of well-known local vocalist Matt Kimber. Matt is based in Bega.

He has been singing for the past 26 years, during which time he has won numerous vocal competitions around Australia.

His voice has been compared to that of Sinatra, Presley and Michael Bublé. Members and guests of The Down South Jazz Club have had the pleasure of listening to his relaxed, lay-back style many times and look forward to his accompanying “Kitty Kat and the Band of Thieves” on this occasion.

A great night of jazz is assured with lots of fun. Cost is $15 for jazz club members and $20 for visitors with music commencing at 7.30pm. Bookings can be made with Aileen/Kevin Walsh on 6495 9853 or will be available on the night at the door.

The Club Sapphire bistro opens at 6pm; meals can either be eaten in the bistro, or ordered, collected and eaten at leisure while listening to the music.
