Stevedores Jazz Band - The Jazz Club of WA

“The Stevedores Jazz Band” is a seven-piece traditional jazz band, enjoying an excellent reputation as one of Perth’s top bands in the genre.

The Stevedores was originally formed in 1992 by Bert Nicholls (banjo) and were resident at the Railway Hotel in Fremantle until 1995. After Bert’s passing in 1999 his wife, Lynn, took over the management of the band, also filling the banjo position.

The Stevedores plays an up-tempo and accessible style of traditional jazz, for dancing and all types of social occasions. They’ve played all over, including weddings in the country, wineries, private parties and corporate functions aboard the paddle steamer “P.S. Decoy”. The Stevedores have recorded two CDs, available by emailing: stevedoresjazzband@westnet.com.au.
