Event Details

JAN PRESTON is a knockout boogie pianist, composer and songwriter, who has captured audiences around the world with her energy, sparkling charm and wit.

From a remote town on New Zealand’s South Island, Jan was one of four piano students from the entire country chosen for the prestigious classical piano Degree at Auckland Conservatorium. She emerged 5 years later, sporting her purple mini skirt and buzz cut hair, and moved to Wellington becoming the musical director for Red Mole theatre troupe, touring NZ as the support act for Split Enz in 1974.

Winner of 5 music awards, Jan plays concerts and festivals throughout Australia, NZ, and Europe, has had over 2 million streams on Spotify, over 1 million streams on her YouTube channel, and her composition “Trout Blues” was used by BBC London Radio for their iconic Evening Show four nights per week with presenter Jo Goode.

In this show I bring the wonderful Winifred Atwell back with her life story and music.

From her early childhood in Tunapuna, Jamaica, we follow her developing career as a virtuostic player of classical piano, moving to England and starting a career as a concert pianist, through to her worldwide hits, popularity and the enduring sounds of her many hit records.

She and her husband Lew Leveson settled in Australia for the latter part of their lives, and now are at peace just out of Lismore, NSW.

Event Details

Come along to see Jan and Mike perform live their original score for the Australian Classic B&W Silent Movie “The Kid Stakes”.

A classic from early Australia, it shows a side of life that was in some ways much simpler, and in other ways far more interesting and inclusive, especially showing the fearlessness of children able to look after themselves, by themselves!
