Campaspe Shire Council in collaboration with independent producing house Quiet Riot Creative invites community members to step back into the age of the jazz speakeasy for a sparkling evening of live music accompanied by refreshments at Rushworth on Friday, 1 May.

The Jazz Supper Club event will transform the historic Rushworth Hall into a lively yet intimate nightspot, featuring an unforgettable performance by acclaimed jazz artist Fem Belling, along with Picola-based band Broken Creek.

An award-winning South African-born Australian jazz vocalist and violinist who has also performed as a leading lady in stage musicals in London's West End, Fem Belling brings her intimate live show to Rushworth for a one-night-only performance. Joined by her brother Zvi Belling on double bass and long-time collaborator Patrick Jaffe on keys, the trio will take the audience on a journey through the golden age of jazz.

Broken Creek is the creation of Erin and Lachlan Heycox. Weaving original and compelling musical reimagining of Australiana for banjo, guitar, fiddle and voice, their music tells stories from Australia’s past as well as its present.

The Jazz Supper Club invites audiences to experience the golden age of jazz in a relaxed, cabaret-style setting. With live performances, refreshments, and a welcoming late‑afternoon start, this 18+ event is perfect for music lovers looking for a stylish night out close to home.

Capacity is limited and bookings are essential.
