Meanwhile, I was remenicing, going back in my mind to the summer two years ago, standing on my front lawn with a big smile on my face because I’d just made the decision to do a Rolling Stones tribute show.

Sure enough we drove into Evan’s Head, parked out front of our very first gig, The Illowong Hotel and immediately, we all set off to the nearest Opp Shop to buy coats or jumpers.

That night around 100 turned up to see us, (the hotel had expected between 300 an 400), we got to do a paid rehearsal of the show and the small crowd were in a party mood.

I went to sleep that night feeling like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

After two years of pulling this show together and numerous line up changes we were up and running or dare I say Rolling.
