Biography

Originally formed in 1987, “FTC” was the busiest ‘Jazz, Swing & Blues’ combo in Melbourne with 6 gigs a week from 1987-1990. A reunion was organised recently to mark 30 years since the bands formation at The Dogs Bar in St.Kilda. This proved so successful that the band has officially reformed and plays regularly at that venue. “FTC” is fronted by veteran Film, Theatre & TV actor [Sons & Daughters, Neighbours] Paul Dawber (Vocals & Congas) and is backed up by Shane Ryall (Guitar), Steve Murphy (Saxophone), Chris Skepper (Trumpet), Peter Buelke (Double Bass), Tom McEwan (Drums & Vocals) & Comedian [Tim & Debbie (TIM), Fast Forward (Dodgy Bros.) Steve Blackburn (Piano).

Testimonials

What a find ‘FTC’ have been for us at Dogs Bar.

They’re now regulars here, usually the Sunday arvo spot. They pack the place out and the whole room is jumping along to their funky and swinging jazz.

Magnificent band.
