Based in Calgary, Alberta 12th October 2026 Kurt Elling - Acclaimed International Jazz Singer Photo of The Waltzing Matildas The Waltzing Matildas "We asked Valerie Hudson of the Waltzing Matilda’s to play piano and sing at the Celebration of Life ceremony for my wife’s mother. The event was to celebrate the 99 years of her life. It was a very uplifting and emotional event and Valerie’s renditions of jazz tunes including I Will Always Love You, Smile, Wonderful World, Blue Sky, I’ll be Seeing You and others were very well done and added immensely to the celebration. Thanks Valerie!" Based in Calgary, Alberta 29th September 2026 David White - Celebration of Life Photo of Euro Café Duo Euro Café Duo "Thank you Euro Café Duo!
