The Gravy

This succulent jus has notes of 80s funk, contemporary soul, bringing it all together with some original flavour. When cooking Gravy your shopping list should include Dave (Browny) Brown on bone, John Corcoron on guitar, Emily (Eej) Jane on vocals and down in the engine room bringing all the ingredients together are Brendan Passey on bass and Ian (Mitch) Mitchell on skins. The Gravy will keep the dance floor filled All Night Long!

simultaneously thought provoking. He plays an array of different instruments including the khaen from Lao and North East Thailand along with others, including piano, trumpet and harmonica. While he shares his own original songs, he loves making up music on the spot and getting others involved when he can!
