SYRUP ON DVD, CD, ONLINE, ON AIR:

The ‘Syrup Band’ featuring Kiran, Marion and Dean have returned from a triumphant Cyprus tour and we're hard at work back in Australia.

After a few function gigs, ‘Syrup’ headed into “LoRicco Sound Studios” to record a few special tracks. Joined by Glen Roche on drums, Vitaly Barishnikov and Anastasia Barishnikov on keyboards, a film crew were also brought in to capture the special event for a DVD. The result was a stunning, totally live performance of visual and sonic excellence with each musician shining through on the blend of original and jazz standards.

A six track CD and DVD with extras is now in production and will be made available soon.
