Silverhair
Silverhair is a four piece band with many years of experience (as the name of the band may suggest). The players are all Melbourne-based musicians and all have a very impressive pedigree - that means yes we have all come from top bands. The band members are Phil on lead vocals & rhythm guitar (the guy with the very unique vocals), Steve on bass & vocals (also noted for playing the little wooden sticks on 'Alright Now'), Adrian on lead guitar & vocals (always has the guitarists and enthusiasts watching his every move) and drummer Rick also on vocals (he can be very funny) with a long record of memorable bands. Their song list is the best of 60’s to the 90’s with hits that appeal to all ages - a classic dance band whose motto is “lets get the party started”, and that’s exactly what they do.
Bar open 12 noon, band 4pm, dinner & snacks 5pm.

Marty Rose – A Solo Experience
If you were to list the top 10 most enduring musicians in Australia’s Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame, Marty Rose would have to be one of the first names on the list. Dedicating his life to the Australian Music Industry, Marty blasted onto the scene with a Mushroom Records recording contract in 1977, based solely on raw talent and his first top 20 single ‘Memories of You’. In 1982 Marty formed the first electronic duo with the very talented Adrian Scott of Air Supply, going into record the single ‘Words Can Never Say’. During 1984 he continued to drive his career to the top while touring Australia and New Zealand as the front man for the great Jeff “Skank” Baxter of Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers fame. Over the past 25 years Marty has consistently delivered what audiences throughout Australia want to hear – good songs played by one of Australia’s top musicians. By 1989, Marty’s career had blossomed to the point where Bert Newton personally requested that he perform on a regular basis. He has played for the Who’s Who of Australia (private parties for Kerry Packer, Lloyd Williams, Alan Bond, Christopher Skase, Charles and Diana, Billy Joel, Elton John and even the Pope – and continues to be in great form!
