What we’re about
This group is for anyone interested in supporting the vibrant Wellington live music scene. We started with jazz gigs but now include blues, soul, and funk bands since they are all musically related, plus reggae 'cos I like it.
If you are keen on a gig, RSVP, and look out for other members. Having someone to sit with can make the evening more social.
One final point. Most people are there to listen to the performer, so please hold your chat until a break in the music.
I look forward to meeting you, Andy

- WJC presents The Melancholy BabesThe Cavern Club, Wellington
Hot off the heels of their 2024 New Jazz from the Big City tour which saw the ever-exploratory trio of Jeff Henderson (saxes), Tom Callwood (double bass) and Anthony Donaldson (drums) play in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Gisborne, and Rotorua, comes a fresh gig with the added bonus of special guest musicians.
The trio is joined by local hero Bridget Kelly (clarinets & saxophones) and Devil's Gate Outfit cornettist Steve Roche, to augment a band that is constantly evolving and striving for the highest levels of telepathic musical communication through improvisation, collaboration, critical thinking, and intense emotional attachments.
- General admission: $23.25 each ($20.00 + $3.25 fees)
- Wgtn Jazz Coop members: $16.58 each ($15.00 + $1.58 fees)
