The
Junes

The Junes are a country swing super group formed in the wake of GIT
and The Toe Sucking Cowgirls, two of the finest female fronted bands
in the land. Barely containing the talents of Sarah Carroll, Suzannah
Espie and Gleny Rae Virus. The Junes write, sing and play with all the
skill and style of their combined years in the business.
When The Junes get together, a cone of country power is raised wherever
they are, and audiences are drawn to it like moths to a flame........
helpless in the spell of the harmonies, the swing, and the sight of
these beautiful women.

back, namely Dougie Bull on double bass and Chris Tabone on drums.

Spectrum
7.30pm January 23
Mike Rudd and Bill Putt have been around for so long they’re considered
part of Australia’s musical furniture. Bands such as Spectrum,
The Indelible Murtceps and Ariel illuminated the ‘70s and inspired
many of Australia’s popular music icons.
Spectrum’s enormous ‘70s’ hit, I’ll Be Gone
(Someday I’ll have money) still inspires crowds to sing along
all over the country.
And playing live is what Spectrum is all about. Mike and Bill have played
together for more than thirty eight years, and there seems to be some
kind of empathetic communication on stage.
They
are enthusiastically received wherever they play and obviously enjoy
what they do as much as their audiences.
See and hear them - and be inspired!
