Chris Gillespie & Martijn Hadders

Chris Gillespie is an independent artist from the Blue Mountains of NSW. His songs are beautiful, bursting with observational yearning. "A fingerpickin', harmonica playing troubadour...Sydney’s answer to Bob Dylan (Dave Regos – FBi Radio)." Gillespie is renowned by his audience and peers for his songwriting craft, especially his lyrics. This music is very Australian, highly original and delivered with refreshing honesty and integrity.

Martijn Hadders is a well respected Blue Mountains jazz guitarist, originally hailing from The Netherlands. Come along for 'cocktail hour' with the laidback jazz stylings of Chris and Martijn.

Maybe you’re still waiting for your friends to arrive in town? Maybe you’re after a little bit of live music and a drink before calling it a night early? Whatever the case, head to the iconic Palais Royale Boutique Hotel’s cocktail bar for live music and historic cocktails with a twist...we call this ’Nombre 230’.
