Show Details

Bird’s Basement Melbourne extends a most distinguished invitation to join Melbourne’s B# Big Band on July 19th for an evening of refined musicality — one that honours the sophistication of the swing era and ventures, with suitable taste, into the more spirited realms of soul and funk. It is, quite frankly, the sort of musical evening that one rarely encounters in today’s rather distracted cultural landscape.

This particular engagement features two pillars of Australian popular music.

Dale Ryder, best known as the dynamic frontman of Boom Crash Opera, brings with him a voice that has resonated across stadiums and airwaves for decades.

Nikki Nicholls, a vocalist of enviable pedigree — original backing singer for John Farnham, contributor to the legendary Whispering Jack album, and touring collaborator with the likes of Australian Crawl, Suzi Quatro, Richard Clapton, Lulu, and none other than Kylie Minogue — graces the stage with poise, power, and impeccable credentials.

Together with the commanding presence of the 10-piece B# Big Band, this concert offers not just entertainment, but an education — a reminder that music, when properly arranged and performed, can move both the heart and the intellect. One might call it an essential outing for anyone who claims to appreciate the finer things.
