Arabesk Live

"Eastern European, Afro-Cuban and Arabic musical traditions converge into a modern day celebration of jazz-driven global grooves"
Arabesk will lift your spirits with a touch of tango, reggae rhythms, jazz flavoured funky beats and even a traditional waltz! Their 2016 album 'Mr Fi" was recorded in Bathurst and tracks from that work have gone on to win both local and international awards. Australian song writing award winners (2011, 2017) and finalists in the 2017 International Song writing Competition, Arabesk have been bringing original Australian music with their own special brand of global grooves to audiences since 2003.
In recent years Arabesk have performed at major Australian music festivals including Wangaratta Jazz, Hobart's Clarence Jazz Festival, Palm Creek Folk Festival, Manly International Jazz Festival and Parramasala. With a growing following in Japan, they performed at the 2018 Takatsuki Jazz Street, having previously performed at the festival in 2011 and 2015 and at the 2016 Sumida Street Jazz Festival in Tokyo.
Little Alberts is attached to the historic 1876 hotel The Victoria. Bathurst's best gastro and boutique hotel situated next to the Heritage site, Tremain's Mill, Little Albert's is a unique space for live music with great bar and food facilities.

Arabesk are Bathurst's own Rob Shannon (guitar/percussion), Veren Grigorov (violin), Tom Wade (bass) and Calvin Welch (drums)
