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 across the genre.

The Stevedores was formed in 1992 by Bert Nicholls (banjo). They were resident at the Railway Hotel in Fremantle for several years. 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 country weddings, winery functions, all sorts of private parties and corporate functions. They have played many of these aboard the paddle steamer “P.S. Decoy”. The Stevedores have recorded two CDs, available by emailing Lynn at: stevedoresjazzband@westnet.com.au
