ANZAC DAY

“Lest we forget”  

It was impossible to forget anything on Anzac Day after a sensational performance by our favourite goats and a bunch of happy go-lucky revellers happy to enjoy the sunshine and the good cheer! The Hillbilly Goats along with up and coming singer songwriter Lani Brouwer-Hughes kept the crowd entertained from early arvo right through until dinner time. A bit of bush poetry from Marty and Jack and then a  guest appearance by publican/guitar bluesman Max and a stunner drums performance by usual front man Gav Dear, meant the day was an outstanding celebration of good music and good company. Well done everyone who played and sang and can’t wait till the big June Long weekend gig that is not far away! Just as a reminder Aussie legend Dave Steel is playing along with the famous Johno’s Blues Band, the Montgomery Brothers, the Roadtrippers and more……..
