/ ARGENTIS DUO /
‘ARGENTIS’ is a duo formed in the Blue Mountains by Steve England and Tina Janis in 2017. They have played regularly at hotels at Katoomba, Tuross Heads, Windsor Tern Hill and Pendle Hill to name a few and have performed for private functions including functions at Blue Mountains Council. They’ve developed a concept that they call “Live Jukebox” where the customers choose songs for them to play from their extensive song list covering jazz, blues, pop and rock. They also write their own material. They produced their first original album entitled “Whatcha Gonna Do?” in January 2021. For the show at the Mechanics Institute, they will be playing the most requested songs from the Live Jukebox plus a few of their own songs. Sit back and enjoy or dance the afternoon away.

In 2012 they formed a band called The Wrinklepickers which played mostly original songs, written by Paul and Vicky, at festivals, pubs and events around Greater London and surrounding counties. This light-hearted pair use an electro-acoustic guitar, drum machine and other percussion for a very live feel, blending with close harmony vocals. Their style has a country, hillbilly, rockabilly, bluegrass feel, with the odd silly song thrown in. Although most songs are their own originals, people think they’ve heard them before and try to join in. So please do join in, dance, sing-a-long and enjoy The Wrinklepickers Duo!

“….rich musical blend of East meets West, …begins with a psychedelically dry and drifting desert scale, shifting into a hard-rocking, uplifting chorus with Gillian’s powerful, wailing blues voice leading the way before an expansive percussive interlude segues the piece into a dreamy, ambience…” Shearston and Grilli Entertainment August July 2019. The past few years has seen the band busy touring Australia, Japan, USA, UK and Spain whilst finding themselves quite at home featuring at “Steam Punk” festivals, Halloween celebrations, as much as the usual fare of clubs and pubs.
