Louise has had a wonderful association with Manly Jazz Festival over the years. First appearing with Erana Clark and Barry Leaf in 2007 as part of an all-star band that included John Foreman, she returned in 2012, managing to escape her duties at The Voice for just one sunny and slightly windy afternoon to take over The Oceanfront stage with her sensational band. Audiences danced to a stunning set in the sunshine with Peter Northcote (guitar), Warren Trout (drums), Nick Sinclair (bass), Wendy Anggerani (keys) and delicious guest vocals and a duet or two with Glenn Whitehall & Rachelle Medley.
