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!

The Herberts are a band playing the best of sixties music - they could have been transported from playing a couple of streets away from the Beatles at the Cavern Club or Carnaby Street.  Featuring one of the best frontmen in Australia, this concept band plays all the popular dance songs from 60s Britain. They wear the uniform of the era and not only sound great, but look great as well. Their appeal is widespread as they have chosen songs that were not only hits in the 60s but have been re-covered by bands in the 80s, 90s and 2000s. These guys are great to listen to, awesome to dance to and funny and entertaining for those who just like to sit back and watch.
