Rattlincane played their first gig for us on Friday September 15 and were well received.
They played a great blend of original songs and covers from artists as diverse as John Fogerty, Dale Watson, Dwight Yoakam, Paul Kelly and a Jimmie Rodgers classic from 1929. See more photos
The Moonee Valley Drifters played for us on Friday September 8 and put on a fine show.
Special guest on honky tonk piano was James Black (the house band leader of Melbourne’s RocKwiz Orkestra).
We don’t often get piano at The Guild and it was a treat with James trading keys with Rob Grenville and his jazz-tinged licks on lead guitar.
With three vocalists, it was a great night of country music.
