The Idea of North

ABC Jazz are pleased to be supporting the inaugural Walsh Bay Jazz Festival in Sydney, taking place on the first weekend in February 2010.

The festival program will be made up of free jazz events in the restaurants and cafes in the Walsh Bay precinct; a series of ticketed jazz concerts in intimate studio spaces (including the Richard Wherrett Studio at Sydney Theatre); and a 'Young Jazz Musicians Program', featuring workshops with leading jazz professionals and an opportunity for selected young players (aged 16 to 25) to play short gigs.

Artists performing at the Festival include Mark Isaacs, Vince Jones, Mike Nock, Michelle Nicolle, Tom Vincent, Kelly Ottaway, James Muller, The Idea Of North (pictured), Doug de Vries and Diana Clark, Craig Scott, Nat Bartsch, Julien Wilson, Cary Lewincamp and ABC Radio's own James Valentine. 

To support the festival ABC Jazz is offering a special download of the piece Bagatelle from The Mark Isaacs Resurgence Band, recorded in the ABC Sydney studios.  This newly composed and never before released piece will see its first public performance at the Walsh Bay Jazz Festival.

Catch The Mark Isaacs Resurgence Band at the following times:

Friday 5th Feb 8:30pm-11pm
Simmer On the Bay, Hickson Road, Walsh Bay

Sunday 7th Feb 3pm-5:30pm
Richard Wherrett Studio, Sydney Theatre Company, 22 Hickson Rd, Walsh Bay

I'm confused about the dates of the event. February 5 is Saturday; February 6 is Sunday. Another event (Dungog Film Festival's "In the Raw") is being held in the Richard Wherrett Studio on 7 February which is a Monday.

Please check your dates and correct the website information please.
