Since then Georgie has performed regularly in Melbourne (Paris Cat, Some Velvet Morning), Sydney (El Rocco, The Newsagency) and Adelaide (The Promethean, The Wheatsheaf), delighting audiences with her original music. She is also an avid lover of Brazilian Jazz and has started her own project (The Brazilian Project) featuring music from this specific genre.
