Tom Ohalloran Organ Trio
Friday, 10th September @9:00 PM

Now a regular at The Ellington, Tom O'Halloran continues his 2011 output with a once a monthl session of organ trio shows with an exciting combo comprised of Ben Vanderwal and Freddie Grigson.

Tom was announced winner of the ABC Limelight Magazine Award for Best Jazz Achievement in 2009, and after five years living in Sydney, Tom has returned to his home town of Perth to take a piano and composition lecturing position.

Tom's second album, We Happy Few released on Jazzgroove Records explores darker textures, improvisory interaction with electronics and continues the catalogue of unique compositions that is making this group identifiable.

PRESS QUOTES:

“Gifted with big ears, formidable technique and a free-wheeling conception, pianist/composer Tom O’Halloran should be on the must-hear list of anyone interested in hearing the best of what current Australian jazz has to offer.” - Mike Nock.

“(Tom O’Halloran is)…retaining his own identity via his original compositions...there is a youthful buoyancy weaving intricate colours and textural contrasts.” – Peter Wockner, ABC’s Limelight magazine.

“.. Another piece of good news for anyone new to Tom O'Halloran.... Speaking as one who has seen him in some very varied contexts over the years, I know that as a 'live' performer he is consistently 'right there, in the moment'. Some capable keyboardists occasionally remind me of typists; Tom never has." - Doug Spencer, Producer-presenter, ABC Radio National's "The Weekend Planet"

On the following drop down menu choose either table or bar. Table is seated, bar is standing. On busy nights small parties (1-3 people) share at the table. We have a range of tables that seat between 2-6 people.

You need to book one ticket per person, not the number of tables, so change the box which defaults to “1” to the number of people you are paying for. We will organise the tables according the number of people you book for.

If you have a group coming together but paying separately, nominate a group leader, and in the “comments” section of the online booking form, as the leader books, he/she tells us how many places to save, then the others paying independently put, for example, “Jane’s table” in the comments section of the online order form. This way we can be sure to seat your party all together. If you are coming singly or as a group and want to join another group, also tell us in the “comments” section.
