Gypsy Cats:
The Gypsy Cats started busking around the streets of Brisbane in 2016 and since then have become one of Queensland’s best known gypsy jazz bands, having played countless live music venues and festivals around the state. Some recent highlights include the latest edition of Woodford Folk Festival (2022/23), as well Brisbane Festival (2022) and OzManouche at the Brisbane Jazz Club (2020 & 2021). They currently hold a year-long, monthly residency at The Bearded Lady in West End, consistently packing the venue with punters of all ages, backgrounds and music tastes. The Gypsy Cats are also well loved amongst the local swing dancing community, who enjoy the challenge of performing their skilful moves to the quartet’s fast paced tunes. With an eclectic repertoire of originals and standards the Gypsy Cats deliver exciting and energetic sets that will have you spell-bound from beginning to the end.
