 It is with great sorrow that we learn Patsy O’Neil has passed away. Patsy was a stalwart of the Inverloch Jazz Festival over many, many years, singing to enraptured audiences. Always popular, always smiling, always laughing, and always with a kind word for everyone.
Among her many activities, Patsy was a member of the festival committee for a number of years, and we were very grateful to have her guidance and advice. Patsy will be sorely missed. Our condolences go to her family and many friends.

Jazz Festival Inverloch,
​Labour Day Weekend


​Days flip verso
a large bass floating,
scored over the inlet breeze
pianists compete for what’s left of cool.
Notes are transfused eternal,
the flamenco trio has a new language
George Michael to a different beat.
The sky draws sail boards in bluesy clefs
the old blokes banter in sets,
so familiar they change key with a look
marry Rodrigo in Autumn Leaves,
tapping feet counting in vintages.
Torch singers coy the crowd,
drummers get their solos
saxophones blow a curing mist.
Buskers play kiss chasey for a place,
strangers smile a harmony.
A day is gifted on to another

all silky wrapping smooth as sway.
