The Russell Davies Show - BBC Radio 2: Sunday 30th May 9-10pm
(GMT)

 Sam Lemann and Hetty Kate's version of Ain't Doin' Bad Doin'
Nothin' the lazy song (from their album 'A Late Brunch on Irwell Street') has been included in the programming for a
very special radio show this sunday on BBC Radio 2!
You're able to listen in online, on digital and on 88-91FM in the UK.
Visit The Russell Davies Show by clicking here.
About this weeks show: On Sunday 30th May, Russell Davies is offering a cautious welcome to summer via a famous Nat King
Cole song - prompting an exploration of laziness as a song-topic: We hear a rare Joe Venuti piece, more familiar ones by Johnny
Mercer, Hoagy Carmichael and Irving Berlin. Plus, Russell discovers a curiosity: that Will Hudson's Moonglow was based on Duke
Ellington's Lazy Rhapsody. There are further diversions: a new release by Joyce Breach and a memory of pianist Dave McKenna with
Marty Elkins, before Russell pays a fuller tribute than was previously possible to the late Lena Horne.
A Late Brunch on Irwell Street is available for download via ITunes or through the shop on this site.

The Pearly Shells Swing Orchestra feat. Hetty Kate at Ormond Hall
Posted on 23 April 2010
This Sunday Hetty Kate is performing as the Special Guest of Melbourne's Swing Orchestra.. The Pearly Shells! From 7pm, at Ormond
Hall in Prahran. (557 St Kilda Road - enter via Moubray St) - $15 entry
This 10 piece "Little big band" has a style and
look reminiscent of the Golden Age of Ellington, Basie and Goodman from the "wall of horns" sound right down to the Hollywood
style, luminescent clam-shell stands. The band is famous with dancers for its ability to leave the written music behind "Riffout"
when things are really swinging!" - Hetty is also thrilled to be one of the vocalists featured on the new Pearly Shells album.. to
be released this winter!
