If you are looking for a Kickstart to your weekend this Friday night, Tewantin Noosa RSL has you covered. They’ve got one of Brisbane’s most popular cover bands in the Diggers Bar with no cover charge. And aptly, their name is Kickstart!
Now in their 12th year playing the main venues and many corporate functions around Queensland, Kickstart comprise five seasoned musicians with many years of performing experience.
All the band members contribute to vocals with Phil on lead vocals and Chris on both keyboards and lead vocals, Hugh on lead guitar, Bill on bass guitar and Lloyd on drums.
They play a great mixture of well-delivered classics from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s and feature an Aussie Rock tribute set of the ’70s and ’80s. These are songs that are instantly recognised and guaranteed to have people on the dance floor and singing along.
Their performance experience is awe-inspiring, including playing to a 15,000-strong crowd at Suncorp Stadium as part of the pre-match entertainment for the Broncos.
Other career highlights include being the warm-up band on two occasions for the legendary Joe Camilleri and the Black Sorrows, for Dragon at Twin Towns, playing the Twin Towns Showroom twice, Suncorp Piazza during Riverfire, and for four years running the main entertainment for the Hear and Say Ball in the Grand Ballroom at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre and at Jupiters Casino.
Kickstart your weekend at Tewantin Noosa RSL on Friday 17 February. Catch one of the free courtesy buses by calling 5447 1766.
