SA Footy

Looking to hire a cover band for a function and just wondering if anyone has recommendations from those they've seen or hired at events.

Probably looking at a Rock and/or Roll ( - Rev. Lovejoy) band that caters for a wide demographic.

Went to a wedding recently who had Myles Mayo, of Special Patrol playing with a drummer and second guitarist. Was absolutley unreal. Laid back old school classics that everyone carved up the D'floor to. Special mention to the Johnny Cash covers, they were awesome. Highly highly recommended

Jet.

Hannah's Shack are a local EP band who do the best covers. Definately go off.

And their band members keep changing. Lol.

Ripper bloke til you get him on the card table and he milks ya, then he can go far kimself!

The other members of NDY put on a top show though
