The boys come from a long way, Mornington Peninsula, and travel a lot and we are lucky to have them wanting to play at the Club.
They have decided to postpone their concert to April to coincide their coming to the Maitland Jazz Festival.
We hope this time around we can have the concert on the wharf and the date will be advised as soon as it is confirmed.
