JUNE LONG WEEKEND 2012

WHAT AN AMAZING WEEKEND!!!
Dave Steel & the Welcome Wagon, The Montgomery Brothers, Johno's Blues Band,
The Roadtrippers , The Hillbilly Goats and Lani Brouwer-Hughes made this
year Lions Den June Long Weekend one of the biggest and best ever! Clear
blue skies and stunning music saw a huge and happy crowd gather at the Den
for two days of camping and live music. Aussie music icon Dave Steel treated
the crowd to an exhilarating show on Saturday night along with his Welcome
Wagon compatriots Sandy Brady (on bass) and John "JP" Parry (on drums)
before treating the crowd to a personalised performance on Sunday afternoon.
Cairns legend Johno along with Ric Montgomery and Damien and Ryo Montgomery
joined up to revive the legendary Johno's Blues Band that wowed the crowd.
The Montgomery Brothers used their incredible music and percussion skills to
perform a vibrant display on floors, tables, cans and trees on Sunday arvo
before taking to the stage with Gav from the Roadtrippers for another great
jam session. The Roadtrippers and special guests from the Hillbilly Goats
teamed up to play a number of insane sets on Saturday night with screamer
winning the wild dancing competition! Special thanks also to the Hillbilly
Goats who again supplied ongoing entertainment through the whole weekend
with their exciting, toe tappin' tunes.

Big thank you to all the bands and especially Dave Steel, Sandy and JP for
making the trip all the way from Victoria just to perform at the Lions Den
Hotel - we appreciate it so much! THANKS EVERYONE!!! Cheers Max & Faith
