It's always a wonderful thing to hear an international success story.  A chance meeting at The Manly jazz festival in 2011 at the Jam session and a subsequent invite from the hosts of the Jam where Dan Barnett and Tricia Evy ended up on stage with John Harkins,Brendan Clarke,Andrew Dickeson and Bob Henderson.

Dan and Tricia hit it off musically and an invite was made by Tricia for Dan to head to Paris in January 2012 for some gigs. This has led to Dan returning to Europe for a run of gigs with Tricia and a stint at the famed Jazz Ascona in Switzerland with the Australians and Emma Pask band included Aussies -Bob Henderson,Anthony Howe,Sebastien Girardot, Mark Elton, Paul Furniss, and honour Aussie Harry Kanters from Holland on Piano.

Tricia Evy was at the same festival with her own band so Dan had more chances to play together at the jam and hang out. Seems like a rather Australian affair at this Festival, with other Aussies George Washingmachine,David Blenkhorn,Sebastien Girardot and an incredible lineup of O/S musicians. http://www.jazzascona.ch

Seems that more has happend, with not only sell out Paris concerts but also a trip for Dan with Tricia and the band to Guadeloupe (french West Indies)  to perform a tribute to Billie Ella and Louis

This musical friendship has Tricia returning to Sydney in 2013 for dates at various venues around the country.
