Six String Stories - at the Royal Hotel Dungog.

It was a big night at the local Community Hall. Bingo and dancing! “22...two little ducks quack quack!” The winner was announced, the tables were cleared and the band took the stage. Dressed to impress this cool combo were ready to strut their stuff! Especially the young guitarist, the 11 year old (going on 12) Craig McLachlan! With a velvet top, navy flares and a proper grown up electric guitar he made his public performance debut.

Since then he’s been a fave on TV, won a load of Logies, starred on stage, was handed a Helpmann, recorded a tune or two, received an ARIA and yodelled with the Bee Gees while waiting to sing for The Queen! Yes That Queen!

Join Craig and his snare smackin’ mate Dave, as he takes you on a strange journey! Playing, singin’, riffin’ and chatting his way through the stories behind the stories!

The band’s covers range widely from Eriksson’s arrangements of several songs by baroque viola da gamba virtuoso, Marin Marais, to charts and folk song arrangements by Susie Bishop and Jenny Eriksson reflecting Jenny’s Scandinavian heritage.

The Album Show returns to the Royal Hotel Dungog, this time highlighting the music of the “Heroes Of The Heartland” – Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp and Bob Seger. Heartland rock grew out of the intersection of rock and country in the 70’s. But it wasn’t until the explosion of these in the late 70’s, that it became a bona fide subgenre. With an eye on the growing social consciousness of the mid 80’s, this group of artists hit critical mass, not only crossing over but dominating the mainstream.

The Album Show celebrates the important and iconic hits of these three incredible artists in a 2 set show, presented by a 5 piece band of some of this collectives most popular singers and instrumentalists. The show will be hit after hit of music that changed the landscape of rock for generations to come. Not to be missed!
