Casting a shadow for one night only



Following standing ovations in Melbourne, guitar legend Hank Marvin returns with his Gypsy Swing ensemble for an exclusive string of East Coast shows this September including Thursday 25 September, 2025 at The J Theatre Noosa.

Joined by long time collaborators—the brilliant accordionist Nunzio Mondia and rhythm guitarist Gary Taylor—this powerhouse group delivers a dazzling fusion of swing, soul, and technical brilliance.

Expect Shadows classics, Django tributes, and spontaneous magic.

Marvin’s “elegant phrasing and vintage tone” (Australian Musician) captivated audiences, reaffirming his place as one of the world’s most iconic guitarists. Alongside him, accordionist Nunzio Mondia was described as “an unstoppable force on the accordion,” unleashing “accordion fireworks” with dazzling energy and finesse. Rhythm guitarist Gary Taylor anchored the group with his “powerful rhythmic drive,” providing the pulse behind their signature swing.

Reviewers praised the ensemble’s “flawless interplay” and “swinging brilliance” as they delivered selections from their acclaimed albums Django’s Castle and Foolin’ With The Feds, alongside fresh takes on beloved Shadows classics.

Post-show scenes in Melbourne saw fans lining up around the block for photos, autographs, and heartfelt chats with the band—an experience East Coast audiences can expect too.

Thursday 25 September, 2025 – THE J THEATRE, NOOSA QLD – Bookings: (07) 5329 6560.
