Program for Sunday 10 February: Annie and the Armadillos with Canberra Swing Katz
Annie and the Armadillos are big favourites among Canberra’s music lovers. Famous for their amazing

today’s latest grooves, they are known for putting on lively performances that excite the senses.
The Armadillos are three of the region’s most exciting and respected musicians providing a world class
accompaniment to the amazing and engaging Annie Sloane. Raised on a healthy diet of jazz and blues,
Annie has abundant energy, a stunning voice and a presence that cannot be ignored. You’ll see, Annie
will get the party started, be a part of it.
To complement Annie, big time movers Canberra Swing Katz will offer a dance workshop for young and
old. Known for their high energy, high flying performances and super fun classes, Canberra Swing Katz
