Friday June 9, 2023: Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend

The Committee has decided that there will be NO BAND on this night.

Being a long weekend, many people go away, including band members, and as less people come to the Guild on the Friday of a long weekend, it is not financially viable to run a band on this night.


Friday June 16, 2023: Rattlincane

Rattlincane last played for us in March of this year and it is good to have them back playing for us again.

They have released 6 albums and are in the final production stages of a new album.

Greg Prow – guitar and vocals
Stephen Biddlestone – lead guitar
John Dynon – bass
Greg Ratten – drums

Classic and original country
