The Legends of Swing 22nd February 2026
The 2026 concert season commenced on 22 February with “The Legends of Swing,” a vibrant celebration of classic jazz and crooning featuring acclaimed vocalist Charlie Chech and the Clive Lendich Trio.
Sydney-based Charlie, widely recognised as Australia’s “Best Male Vocal Performer” following his win at the 22nd ACE Awards - one of the youngest recipients of the prestigious honour - delivered a charismatic performance paying tribute to the golden era of swing. The program honoured iconic artists including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Elvis Presley, and Ella Fitzgerald, while also acknowledging contemporary crooners such as Michael Bublé.
Backed by the accomplished Clive Lendich Trio, Charlie brought warmth and polish to the stage, setting an uplifting tone for the year ahead. One audience member reflected the general sentiment, describing the concert as “a wonderful start to the year.”
Charlie, who previously shared the stage with Grammy Award-winning superstar Michael Bublé during his 2020 Australian tour, continues his mission to keep the spirit of these legendary performers alive for new generations.
“Legends of Swing” sold out within 2 days of single tickets going on sale! For the first time ever, Sutherland Music Club added a second show at 11am in addition to the 2pm concert.
