BBQ meets Ska… get it?

With a love of all things funky and downright groovy, the raconteurs and Koahlition are truly original bands consisting of drums, bass, keys, guitar, sax and vocals. Jamming on Funk, Blues, Acid Jazz and Punk are just a few styles that pop up in a raconteurs set but there is an overriding feel of Ska.... Ska, Ska and more Ska.

With a local community group providing food and drink, this truly is a dinner and a show! Think balmy summer nights, sausage in hand, with slinky ska bands as the backdrop. Beaut!

Enjoy a Gold Coin Donation BBQ as part of the experience! Please be aware that we are unable to cater for all dietary requirements and allergies.
