Ol’ King Cole

Ol’ King Cole are a Wellington based trio lead by piano/vocalist, Louis Thompson-Munn. The drumless trio perform music inspired by the great Nat ‘King’ Cole and other artists of his era, specifically with a focus on Nat’s early trio which ran from 1943-1950.

The trio consists of Robert ‘Bert Hendo’ Henderson on double bass (The Wellington City Shake-em-on-Downers), and Callum Allardice on guitar (The Jac).

A great and lively performance is always a guarantee with the spirit of the old house band trio alive, before TVs in bars and when people would dance the night away!

Guest Vocalist Stephanie Bishop
Stephanie Bishop is a well established vocalist based in Wellington and has performed NZ wide. She will be joining Ol’ King Cole at Jazz in Martinborough to perform some memorable Jazz standards and other tunes from the era.
