[Dixielandjazz] Wineries As the Scene of Australian OKUM

[Max Hughes]

Can't say that I'm an expert, Ginny 

But, at least in Melbourne, some of our wineries have restaurants attached,
and feature OKOM as entertainment. Some operate at night, but most are for
weekend lunches.

Overseas artists appearing are not unusual, and in some cases Wine Jazz and
Food festivals are featured at various times during the year, usually around
long weekends.. They are certainly quite popular.

Enjoy life. This is not a rehearsal

Maybe we can hear from some OZ list mates on the frequency of "winery as 
Venue" because I'm aware of some other instances of musos gigging there.

Yes, it was, Dave. Explains the laid back singing on the link Bob Romans 
Sent in. If you then go to her website: http://www.melodygardot.com/ 
 
You will hear a completely different style (full strings background, etc.), 
But still with that "easy" feel. Very nice. Looks like she's booked onto 
An interesting type of tour through Australia/New Zealand...using wineries 
As a base!
