THE TIPSY GYPSIES

The Genres of the Gypsies tour is a celebration of original jazz, blues, folk & Celtic music. 

PETE HAWKES, GEORGE WASHINGMACHINE & CHRISTIAN MARSH are legends on their respective instruments, three seasoned international players at the height of their powers joining forces to showcase the compositional talent of Pete’s original jazz, blues, folk & Celtic music in a one & only Oz tour. 

Be prepared for an onslaught in lilting Gypsy jazz fiddle, thundering Celtic reels, wailing blues harmonia & sizzling slide as these three wield their instruments of mass distraction together for the first time as one united force. This is a unique combination - even though each player has toured the globe they have not until now united together & possibly they will never again. A one time opportunity to see three legends (& more) playing a rich, evocative, diverse palette of original music cooked up & served hot! This is must see for every real music lover 

Larry Adler “All you need to do, Christian, is keep playing like you do & don’t let anyone tell you any different.”

“George’s musical range spans toe‑tapping gypsy jazz & soulful blues, & he also showcases talents on guitar & double bass. Internationally acclaimed, he’s toured Europe, Cuba, NZ, the UK & the US, appearing at major festivals including Havana Jazz & Sydney’s renowned venues.“ 

Tony Bates Musicologist/Reviewer' Station Librarian/ Presenter 3WBC 94.1FM  "A composer with the ability to transcend several musical genres & yet stay firmly focused within his own perceived sound. The word 'genius' I have always reserved for the greats like Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus, Richard Thompson & Louis Armstrong, but given the diversity, variation, number of musical genres & the prolific number of high quality, original compositions of all styles of music Pete has put out, & continues to produce every year, not to mention a back catalogue of finely crafted original songs (that always have something unique to say about the human condition), it's hard not to use the word for him here as well. If he is not a genius then he is certainly one of Australia's most creative & interesting composers for acoustic music to emerge in the last decade"
