Greg Poppleton 

With a voice straight from the Golden Age, Greg Poppleton is bringing the sounds of the Roaring 20s and 1930s swing to the Pav. A legendary vintage crooner and jazz cat, Greg is one of Australia’s most authentic 1920-30s singers with 1.3 million YouTube views and eight albums under his belt.  

Acclaimed for his award-winning long-running Phantom Dancer live swing jazz radio show, loved for charming audiences at jazz festivals around the country, and celebrated for his appearances in movies with Nicole Kidman (Moulin Rouge), Greg Poppleton is the real deal!

Greg shines on stage as he brings the magic of the Jazz Age to life. Sit back and let him transport you back in time.

12 November 
Kevin Sullivan

Revered for his songs about people and places, acclaimed singer-songwriter Kevin Sullivan’s own story takes him from forensic crime scene investigator to an artist soaring to the top of ARIA Country Albums Chart.

Sullivan’s shows are characterised by great Australian storytelling, humour and love, along with memorable covers of iconic country, folk, alt country and contemporary music – with a style that calls to Paul Kelly, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash.

Having played all over the country and featured on Channel 7’s The Voice: Generations with Keith Urban, Kevin comes to Bondi to take you on an unforgettable journey. He’ll perform original songs from his latest album THREEWAYS – which hit #1 on the ARIA charts and remained in the top ten for 12 weeks – as well as timeless ballads and foot-stomping covers.

Carols with Cassy and The Sunshine Singers

It would not be Christmas in Waverley without our very own Sunshine Singers filling the Pav with joy and song. 

Warm up the vocal cords and dust off the mistletoe as we come together to sing all the Christmas favourites, from ‘Rudolf the Red-Nose Reindeer’ to ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas’ and ‘Silent Night’. 

Joined by choir leader extraordinaire Cassy Darvall and maestro Michael Bartolomei on piano, the High Tide Room at the Pav will swing, saunter and waltz through the Christmas classics. Pull out the tree, put up the tinsel, and warm up the vocal cords for some carolling fun. Christmas accessories not compulsory but strongly encouraged.
