What does Joe Cocker’s Unchain My Heart, the Doobie Brothers’ Take Me in your Arms, the Beatles’ Get Back and the Traveling Wilburys’ Handle Me with Care have in common?

Two things.

One: that they’re all US and UK band compositions.

Two: that five-piece Noosa-based band The Claptomaniacs will play all these four songs and many more of their era – the late ’60s to late ’80s – on Saturday at Tewantin Noosa RSL, from 8pm or so.

They love Oz rock – but they also love so many of the classics from across the music world that locals may not have heard as often.

So come on down on Saturday 25 January, order a great meal from the RSL’s extensive menu, grab an ice-cold drink and settle in for some memory-jogging hits you can dance to – or just listen to – the Claptomaniacs will give them all their authenticity!

Tewantin Noosa RSL can get busy when this band plays – so best make a phone booking for a table, on 5447 1766, to avoid disappointment.
