It’s a mad mad Mad World Band

A SEDUCTIVE cocktail of blues, soul, funk and classic rock adds up to one seriously crazy sound that is Brisbane-based, Mad World Band.
Each member of the seven-piece band brings a wealth of skill and experience to their performance with the overall result being a tight sound full of attitude and soul.
Mad World Band’s energetic live shows means their performance will stay in your mind long after you have put your dancing shoes back in the wardrobe.
Bruce Bird on lead vocals and harmonica has a distinctive style in the manner of Joe Cocker, while Shae Mourtzakis and Gillian Enright on vocals and percussion add their soulful tone and flair to the performance.
Steve Turner on lead and rhythm guitar is a dynamic blues player able to interpret rock and blues classics in a new and interesting way and Paul Maloney on bass and vocals provides a powerful rhythm section with tones of funk and groove blended into rock and blues interpretations.
Mark Lewis keeps the rhythm section tight with toe-tapping drums and percussion, and classically trained pianist Paul Rae adds yet another dimension on keyboards.
The band now features a tribute to Joe Cocker and The Commitments as well as covering a number of other big name influential artists including Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Blues Brothers, U2 and many more.
You can catch the Mad World Band for only $10 at the Tewantin Noosa RSL on 30 May, from 8pm.
Phone 5447 1766 for tickets, dinner and courtesy bus reservations.
