Hope Island Jazz and Cabaret presents The Ian Date Trio

From a gypsy campfire to the lowdown bluesy sounds of New Orleans to the South American street party to a sophisticated inner city salon to an ancient tribal gathering.

Enjoy a night of virtuosic guitar playing. Come with Ian as he takes you on a journey of guitar music.
Recently returned from living in Europe, where Ian was performing widely and developing his already formidable skills as an instrumentalist and entertainer. There are stories told and it’s a lot of fun. The music ranges through gypsy jazz, latin, blues and classical influences.

"I’ve had the pleasure not only of seeing him perform on several occasions but of being invited to get up on stage and jam with him. If he’s performing in your area, seize the opportunity to see and hear one of Australia’s finest guitarists.” Hank B. Marvin (The Shadows)
