Piano Bar (by request!) with Jono & Ferris

Pre-covid, Jonathon Holmes (Mickey’s Jazz Club, Three in the Bed) was playing in the piano bar on a cruise ship (not that one!). Back on land and out of quarantine, he’s bringing a socially-distanced piano bar experience to The Great Club. With a hearty repertoire of over 2000 songs spanning every genre and decade, Jono and drummer Ferris, will be taking your requests all night (well, as long as they’re getting tips!)

About Jonathon…
Jonathon Holmes is a composer, pianist and actor from Sydney, Australia. His musical comedy ‘Three in the Bed’, which he wrote and directed, has had two Sydney seasons since 2017. Reviewers hailed it “terrific fun: cheeky, sexy, laugh out loud… full of heart” and “a success”. He also directed ‘The Fantasticks’ (Exclaim), and has played Berger in ‘Hair’ (Exclaim); Hewson/Downer in ‘Keating!’ (Birdie) and Tobias in ‘Sweeney Todd’ (AIM). He released his debut piano-pop EP ‘Plutonese’ in 2014; and two singles since then. Refusing to grow up, he is the host and pianist of ‘Mickey’s Jazz Club’, swinging Disney songs. He recently spent a year playing in the piano bar on Carnival cruise ships. Jonathon holds a Bachelor of Music (Music Theatre). Currently he’s working on his next musical: a horror-comedy.
