But Wait! There’s More!!

Christmas is coming, a time for over-indulgence, and so it is that, sheepishly, as one who returns for an encore too many, I announce that we will in fact play one more last for gig 2009 – in addition to the last gig for 2009 that we played last Saturday night.

Those who pulled out all stops to make last week’s last gig of the year – fair ’nuff, you’re done.  The rest of you have one last chance to groove with us!  Until the next chance you get.

SATURDAY 5th DEC, 9.30pm
$20/18
Bennetts Lane Jazz Club
Bennetts Lane (off Little Lonsdale- Melb)
Tickets available online at Moshtix or just show up
Ph: 9663 2856

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

It’s been a bit dusty around here while our webpage undergoes renovation – now check it!  New look bits and squibs, fun and functionality all found at the one web place – www.moniquedimattina.com.  Thanks to the ab fab Sam McFadden at Greybelle.com, I have no more website envy.  Yip yip!  Thanks Sam.

Film News

For those enamoured of animation (say that ten times fast after an egg nog or three), I was privileged to score the music for Fleur McArthur’s enchanting creation of visual splendour ‘Poppy Heartwood’, which is screening at ACMI Cinemas in December – details below.  You can hear some of the music on the film page of aforementioned dashing new website, or show up to the shows themselves and enjoy it on the big screen, egg nog in hand.

Senses for solo piano

Is being happily featured in the Readings Christmas catalogue.  I can’t think of a store I’d rather have shout about this quiet record.  So if you’d like to fill your Christmas stockings with something unseasonably understated, get ye to a Reading store – or indeed to www.moniquedimattina.com (free delivery!) – and we will fulfill all your Senses needs.

“Timeless piano dreams and improvisations – the thinking person’s zen escape”
- The Village Voice, NYC

“Beautiful, spacious, spare”
Lucky Oceans – ABC Daily Planet

“Atmospheric, thoughtful.  Calm notes with a sharp intelligence”
Sue Roberts, BBC Radio 4

Thanks for listening and merry merry to you all,

Monique
