"The Fem Belling trio will also combine with The Harvey
Club at the Vintage Celebrations. Fem Belling is a celebrated
Jazz singer who's accolades are too numerous to mention.
She has starred in the Boy from Oz, playing Liza Minnelli,
and played leading roles in many other Broadway productions
including Cats, Hairspray and many more. Her trio is a family
affair and features her father, Howard Belling on keys and
her brother Zvi on bass, both celebrated musicians in their
own right. The Harvey Club features Mansfield's own celebrated
musician, Liam Bradley on vibes, his son Fintan on Trumpet
and Rolf Koren on drums. The day will also feature young
local Jazz musicians Leif Koren and Matilda Clark, accompanied
by young Geelong keyboard player Ollie Tribe who will fill
out the day with some memorable tunes" said Susan.
