"The Fem Belling trio will also combine with The Harvey Club at the Vintage Celebrations. Fem Belling is a celebrated Jazz singer who's accolades are too numerous to mention. She has starred in the Boy from Oz, playing Liza Minnelli, and played leading roles in many other Broadway productions including Cats, Hairspray and many more. Her trio is a family affair and features her father, Howard Belling on keys and her brother Zvi on bass, both celebrated musicians in their own right. The Harvey Club features Mansfield's own celebrated musician, Liam Bradley on vibes, his son Fintan on Trumpet and Rolf Koren on drums. The day will also feature young local Jazz musicians Leif Koren and Matilda Clark, accompanied by young Geelong keyboard player Ollie Tribe who will fill out the day with some memorable tunes" said Susan.
The Upper Goulburn Long Lunch will be held the next day Sunday 29th April at the Mansfield Showground Pavilion at 12.30 pm. The Long Lunch has become a highlight and should not be missed.
