Spyglass

Presented by The Wollongong Conservatorium of Music

Combining traditional French gypsy songs with swinging originals Spyglass bring the bygone days of bohemian Paris into the present with the lyrical sounds of accordion, clarinet and the percussive ‘la pompe’ of gypsy guitars.

Performing throughout Australia since 2010, the group has appeared at noted venues including the Opera House, the Art Gallery of NSW, the Vanguard, Camelot Lounge and the Brisbane Jazz Club.

Spyglass Gypsies are Richard Ashby and Cameron Jones on Manouche guitars, Loretta Palmeiro on clarinet and soprano saxophone, Andrew Scott on accordion and Shannon Haritos on double bass.

Clarinettist, and co-founder Loretta Palmiero is originally from Wollongong.

The Wollongong Conservatorium Jazz Combo will play an opening set at 11am.
