The Troubadour Folk Club will host its first event of 2022 with the ‘Highly Strung Rock and Roll Orchestra’ on March 5 at Everglades Country Club.
Club president Michael Fine said the line-up would be enough to excite any music lover.
“Local virtuoso Mary O’Mahony and Bernadette (sisters-in-law) each play electrifying violins while Stella is lead vocalist and woodwind section, and Justin (Bernadette’s husband, Stella’s Dad and Mary’s brother) supplies the rest of the band’s sound through his amazing acoustic guitar playing,” Fine said.
“With strong male and female lead vocals along with four-part harmonies, this is a powerful and very popular orchestra!”
The band forged its reputation in Sydney during the 1980s as Hat Trick.
The signature sound they established at that time combines contemporary rock with Irish and Classical music.
Throughout that decade, music lovers pursued the band from venues such as their local pubs and clubs, to nationwide television performances on Ray Martin’s Midday Show, Kerri-Anne Kennerley’s Morning Show and Clive Robertson’s Newsworld.
After a sell-out show at the Troubadour in February 2020, they’re back again after their fans pleaded for more.
Tickets are $20 and $25 and can be booked at trybooking.com/BWKVF
