- **Event Description**: The Catholics. I know. A dream team of Sydney musicians, led for 35 years by bass player Lloyd Swanton (The Necks), they've recorded nine albums with three ARIA nominations and a Mo award. I was looking for a quote that represents how profoundly musical and yet bouncingly accessible they are, and it turns out all the quotes say that.


The richness, diversity and accessibility of The catholics suffuses every track. It Is their virtuosity, imagination and the inventiveness of Lloyd Swanton’s writing which makes this music so successful … no written description can do justice to this music. If you’ve heard the whisper, which is now becoming a roar, that the new Australian jazz Is great fun, then search out a copy of this superb album
