NEWSLETTER
Hi Everyone
This is the link to my website: www.dancersgigguide.com.au
I URGE YOU TO DOWNLOAD A NEW COPY OF THE MONTHLY GIG GUIDE IF YOU HAVE RECENTLY SAVED IT TO YOUR PHONE. I've made a couple of changes tonight to Twin towns for late December.
When I email out my newsletter once a week (which is copied from here), the links don't work from the email, and you will need to click on the website / newsletter to enable the links to work.
Sometimes the venues change their bands or times without any notification. If you know about any differences to what I have in my gig guide, please feel free to let me know as I'm happy to make changes. Every care is taken to be accurate, but I take no responsibility for any changes to entertainers who were previously advertised.
FOR MY FEES TO ADVERTISE, PLEASE CONTACT ME. I do charity work for free, but otherwise anything people want added to the newsletter or gig guides will incur a fee. Email: dancerpauline@me.com for a quote.
NEWSLETTER WEEKLY MAILOUTS!
If you would like to receive my newsletter by weekly email, please write and send me a request, to dancerpauline@me.com.
If any bands have their gig guides ready, or clubs have any special events on, that I haven't included, please send me the information, and I'll add it in.
I appreciate it if people let me know if any of my information is incorrect or out of date, particularly with the dance classes... as I don't go to them all to know what's current. Thanks to one of my readers I have changed 3 venues lately in my listing of dance classes at the end of my current monthly gig guide, which are all Ballroom/Old Time/New Vogue dance classes.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED BRISBANE AREA
Hi,
ROCK UNDER THE CLOCK is now in its 6th year with no plans to 'pull the plug'. Featuring two dance nights each year at the historic Sandgate Town Hall - May & November - the event is going from strength to strength.
The Sandgate Branch of the Police Citizens Youth Club (PCYC) is the sole beneficiary of the event and use the proceeds raised to fund their Crime Prevention and Youth Diversionary Programs. To date, over $50,000 has been donated to support this cause.
As with any venture that relies on the input of volunteers, there will be attrition over time in the numbers who so unselfishly volunteer their services as members of the Planning & Organisation Team.
WE NOW NEED TO RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS TO OUR TEAM.
This is the purpose in writing to you, would you be interested in joining the Team?
What is involved in becoming a Team Member?
- Ideally, you will be proficient in one of the 'to be filled' functional areas (see below).
- Some personal time will be spent in your chosen functional area preparing for the event, typically a 60 day time span.
- Attendance at three planning sessions held over a 60 day time span pre-event. Each session held at Sandgate PCYC at 1:00pm and of approx. two hours duration.
- Participation on the occasion of each event in the chosen functional capacity.
- Attendance at a post-event analysis meeting to report on any issues arising from the event that affected functional performance.
Functional areas needing to be filled.
Graphic Design
Creating the graphic artwork used to support event themes. These illustrations form the core of all visual promotional executions. Interested volunteers will have skills in the use of graphic design software, preparing print-ready art and experience liaising with production. A design brief is prepared well in advance of each event.
Booking Site
Liaising with the ticketing company (www.trybooking.com) to populate the booking website. Persons interested in this function will have basic computer skills and experience manipulating text and graphics.
Bar Service
This involves choosing the drinks menu in collaboration with the licensed provider and the Team, setting sell prices, collecting drinks & ice on the afternoon of the event, setting up/closing down the bar and managing the service on the evening. Preparing a sales/cash reconciliation for tabling at the post event meeting. Interested persons should have, or prepared to obtain, a Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) certification.
We would love to hear from volunteers wishing to fill one of the above functional roles. Interested persons should, in the first instance, indicate their readiness to volunteer by replying to this email, outlining their experience in a preferred role. We welcome any enquiries regarding additional information on each role.
Our next event is planned for Saturday 23rd November. We are very keen to fill the available positions and commence the planning process to continue this significant and worthy fundraiser.
Please email replies to: rockundertheclock@gmail.com

WHAT’S COMING UP:
VENUES:
BEAUDESERT RSL
On 15th August the current lease of the building and grounds currently held by the Beaudesert Services Club on William St Beaudesert will be terminated.
ALGESTER SPORTS CLUB
I had some feedback from a dancer who went to this venue recently, and he reported there is no dance floor there now. They have done renovations, and he said the club was nice, clean, open, polite staff, plenty of off street parking. The music was quite good, a solo entertainer, nice range of dance music. They tested dancing on the carpet, but it was not fun. So unfortunately they left, as did another couple of dancers.
I have sent the club an email and will ask about the possibility of them putting down a small dance floor, as they have some great entertainment listed this month. It's such a pity that there is nowhere for people to dance.
MURWILLUMBAH RSL
I had some feedback from Brisbane dancers who went down there to see one of their favourite bands, to find there was no dance floor in the room with the band, very disappointing for them. They have a good dance floor in the room next door, but they mustn't be using that for the weekly bands.
GOODNA RSL
Has a very tiny dance floor, fitting no more than 2-3 couples.
BROTHERS LEAGUES
Has a dance floor, but it's non-slip tiles, so isn't practical for dancing.
BRIGHTON BOWLS CLUB
Don't have a dance floor.
CABOOLTURE SPORTS CLUB
Their website is very time-consuming to use. To find out the time of one event I have to do about 4 clicks before I get to the next event. Please double-check the times if you want to go to this venue.

Pam and Roy Blowers have been creating a portfolio of online utube dance lessons and will be continuing to add to the collection.
The concept behind our online utube dance lessons is - mixing styles and steps according to one's level of fitness and physical ability.
We have created a facebook page, which lists all our utube videos, (see link under Classes page) - we are up to Utube 21 and will be continuing to add to our collection.

DANCE FLOOR COURTESY
Here is the Gold Coast Rockers Etiquette on the Dance Floor:
1. Wear clothing and dance shoes that make it easy and enjoyable to dance in.
2. Personal Grooming - Shower and use a deodorant. Always take a hand towel, deodorant and a clean shirt to freshen up.
Brush teeth and use mouthwash or breath freshener. Abstain from foods that produce strong odours eg. garlic. The odour
of cigarettes on one's breath or clothing is unattractive.
3. Please ask ladies: Would you like to dance?
4. Please ask men: Would you like to dance?
5. Declining to dance: No thank you, I'm taking a break.
6. Sharing the floor: If there is a mixture of dance styles on the floor, ballroom or circle partner dancers have the outside
circle heading in an anti-clockwise direction. Rock n Roll dancing is in the middle, Swing on the side.
7. Dips and Lifts: The only thing to be said about aerials on the social dance floor is: Don't do them. While they may look 'cool'
the execution of aerials requires training by a qualified instructor. Don't do them by yourself unless you are trained, and
certainly don't do them on the social dance floor.
8. Today's beginners will be the good dancers of tomorrow, so be nice to them and dance with them.
9. Smile, be warm, be personable, be nice.
10. Be considerate of other couples on the floor. Exercise good floor craft. No large steps to be taken, dancing should be
done in a 3 ft circumference.
11. No stilettos to be worn on the dance floor.
12. Be happy, be social and have FUN

MUSICIANS / BANDS
As of 14 December The Wanderers band from Brisbane will fold.
_________________________
The Rock'n'Roll Boys, a great-sounding duo from Gympie
The Rock n Roll Boys is a Gympie-based duo or trio that, true to it’s name, presents rapid-fire
rock and roll music that keeps dance floors full all night.
The 2019 highlight for the boys was the release of their CD, Dancin’ Days. This collection of 12 original dance songs blends in beautifully with classics such as Elvis, Beatles, Eddie Cochran and Bill Haley as well as a few 70s show stoppers from the likes of Billy Joel, Eric Clapton and Neil Diamond.
Backed by live-recorded bass & drums, Bob Cole and Andy Stokes provide all live vocals and guitars. For an even fuller sound, we can be joined by Brisbane piano legend, Chas Whitling to perform as a trio.
Rock and Roll dancers flock to our shows from Brisbane to Gladstone. We also play most of the major retro-styled festivals across SE and central Qld. We’ve all been in and around the entertainment game for well over 30 years so we feel we have a pretty good handle on what people want when it comes to this style of dance music.
We provide top quality, non-stop rock and roll that keeps people on to the dance floor and can add dinner music as well if you wish.
We are equally at home playing in small and large venues and have an expandable PA system that can be adapted for the smallest room, the largest auditorium or any outdoor venue. Our repertoire is squarely aimed at those who love good old rock and roll music and love to dance.

The RocknRollaBillys
The RocknRollaBillys are Leona Stevens (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, drums/percussion), Andrew Stokes (back-up vocals, lead guitar, cigar box guitar, electronic drum programming) and Jo-Maree Stokes (Double Bass, support vocals, costuming).
The RocknRollaBillys were originally conceived by Andrew as a back-up alternative to the popular 'Rock 'n' Roll Boys' when lead singer Bobby Cole was off on one of his overseas adventures. However, they are quickly becoming a popular favorite amongst the Rock n Roll dancers and clubs of South East QLD. They are commited to re-creating a 'yester-year' experience with great 50's/60's style dance tunes, retro custom-made costuming, and through using instruments common to the era – including Elvis mics. Andrew, Jo-Maree and Leona also know what the dancers like to hear, as they are Rock n Roll Dancers themselves.
The RocknRollaBillys are becoming known as a great club band due to their interesting sound and their unique renditions of popular toe-tapping dance music. They cover classic and more modern Rock and Roll dance tunes as well as Swing, Rockabilly and Jive. Their targeted, yet diverse, range of tempos cover 4-step, 6-step and 8-step Rock n Roll styles and also allows the more serious dancers to do many other dance styles including Cha Cha, Tango, Lindy Hop, various Partner Dances, and even some Line Dancing. For those who don't take their dancing that seriously, they can sit back and be entertained by a professional band that will have them laughing, singing along and dancing in their seats as they recreate and reinterpret the great sounds of days gone by fattened up with modern electronic drum/rhythm technology delivered though quality PA and subs. They also bring enough lighting to effectively add a party/celebratory ambience to the performances and when required can organise Rock 'n' Roll Dance demonstrators to perform.
Leona Stevens is rightly described as another “Wanda Jackson” or “Emelda Mae”with her powerful bluesy rock 'n' roll/Rockabilly voice and attractive presentation. Leona developed her love for music while hanging around with her older brothers and her father who were working musicians in and around the Sydney music scene. After discovering her uniquely powerful voice they often got her up to sing with them. She also went on to perform in her own bands in Sydney for many years. As well as an exceptional lead vocalist, Leona is also competent on guitar and drums. Since moving north to Queensland, Leona has been performing extensively in major QLD venues including more recently as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the popular South East QLD club band 'Sera Loons'. She has shared stages with the likes of Phil Emanuel and performed at many major music venues including regular appearances at the Gympie Music Muster.
Andrew Stokes has been a professional comedic entertainer and musician for more than 25 years. He grew up surrounded by music, being the son of a music teacher who had achieved the highest levels of musical training possible on piano. By the time Andrew was ten years old he was playing piano, trumpet, guitar, cornet, ukulele, and learned to sing harmonies. He also played drums at times in his mother's old-time dance band that performed in the local dance halls in South East Qld towns near where they lived. Andrew went on to play in the clubs and pubs around Brisbane and worked as a booking agent for two major Queensland entertainment booking agencies. More recently for over 10 years Andrew was the lead guitarist, backup singer, musical director and band leader for the highly successful corporate function band 'The Dukes of Rhythm'. Andrew also founded, and still performs with, the heavily-booked retro-dance club duo the 'Rock n Roll Boys'. The Rock 'n' Roll Boys have a large following of dancers and repeatedly perform at most of the major Clubs and Rock n Roll/Rockabilly festivals in South East QLD. They have recently released their first CD of original Rock 'n' Roll style songs.
Jo-Maree Stokes is the very talented, very patient and long-suffering wife of Andrew Stokes. Jo-Maree has been involved in music since she was 8 years old when she began lessons on flute and piano. She went on to perform with various groups and orchestras as well as serving as chorister for large vocal groups. More recently she has immersed herself in the Rock 'n' Roll/Rockabilly scene taking up the Double Bass, making 50's costumes and helping Andrew build a 1950's style Teardrop camper trailer. Having endured 'Little Instrument Syndrome' as a flautist for many years, she is very proud that, although she is still the shortest person in the band, she now plays the biggest instrument on the stage. Joey (as she is affectionately known) drives the band with her consistent pumping double-bass playing makes it a great band to dance to.

The RollerCoasters promise a night the audience rarely get to experience in today's day and age providing authentic renditions of some of your favourite songs from the 60's and 70's.
Bios for band:
Col Wilson - (lead singer and Rhythm Guitar)
I began playing guitar at 16, and I had a great teacher in Ray Smith at Tony Andrios School of Music, Footscray, Victoria. He was always fantastic to learn with, and showed enormous patience with a pupil who just wanted to do his own thing.
I spent the next 14 years just playing when I could, and dreaming of playing and singing on stage in front of an audience.
When I met my wife, she had friends that played in bands. I just tagged along to watch them. They did, however, invite people to get up and play with them. I decided one night that I was going to get up and do it too. That first night that I got up changed me forever. I'd only started playing the intro to my first song when almost everyone in the crowd got up and started dancing, I was hooked from then on. It's an amazing feeling having so many people enjoy what you do. It went so well I was asked to become a permanent member of the band from that night on.
After getting together with others that played on that first night, I started joining other bands to fulfil my ambitions. I started gigging at clubs and pubs in Melbourne with numerous bands and had a great time doing what I love.
n 1993 my wife and I moved back to her home city of the Gold Coast, I immediately started looking for like minded muso's to jam and gig with. After playing with the bands Steel Rain and Smokehouse. I joined together with a long time friend from Melbourne, and we formed the duo Undercover.
We played at loads of Gold Coast clubs, and even had a regular 6 weekly gig at the Point Lookout Bowls Club on Stradbroke Island that lasted for 2 years.
When that ended I decided to go solo. After 4 years playing corporate and private gigs, I'm back on the club scene and hope to see all of you real soon to enjoy my music. Come along and sing and dance to great music that you'll know and love.
Dave Brooke - (Lead Guitarist / Vocalist).
Dave has been a lead guitarist and vocalist for over 30 years in Australia.
Dave's music career began in Sydney in the late 80's performing as a soloist as well as in Bands and Duos over the east coast of Australia. Dave has a unique ability to authenitically recreate the sounds and styles of the most famous Guitarists in the World.
There are few guitarists that can authenitcally replicate the sounds of:
Hank Marvin (The Shadows), Buddy Holly, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Scotty Moore (Elvis Presley), the Surf Music from the 60's, Roger McGuinn (The Byrds) and George Harrison (The Beatles).
Mark Aitken - (Bass guitarist / Vocalist).
Mark has played and sung in bands and duos for over 40 years.
His early band years were spent in Melbourne, which was the hub of the Australian music scene at that time, and so was an ideal environment to play with top bands and gain valuable live band experience. He has continued playing bass guitar and performing vocals with bands in Brisbane and Northern NSW since moving north in 1989.
Musical influences include 60's British pop: The Easybeats, The Beatles, The Shadows, Bee Gees, Eagles, Elton John, Robbie Williams and Keith Urban. Mark plays the role of the RollerCoasters bass guitarist / vocalist.
Music has always been a passion for Mark and he is dedicated to performing and entertaining the crowd with an extensive great list of songs with The RollerCoaster members.
Ken Rickard - (Drums and Vocals).
Ken has had many long hard years of experience on drums / Harmony vocals which includes years of touring UK and Europe with various bands including BBC/ Deram recording artists The Pebbles with Ken as the original drummer. Also touring and gig work in both New Zealand and Australia. Ken is a massive fan of 60's music but in particular has a passion for Beach Boys, The Hollies, The Shadows, The Beatles, The Everly Brothers and the Eagles to name just a few. Ken provides a solid rhythm foundation for The RollerCoasters during their authentic renditions of some of the greatest songs ever penned.

Brothers Matthew and Adam O’Connor have been playing music together for their whole lives and swap instruments like it’s “nothin but a thang”. They have been the backbone of Lock ‘n’ Load for the last 5 years and are still rockin’ that space. But a calling to do some extra repertoire in the intimate setting of a trio has inspired them to combine with a powerhouse drummer and rock a broader range of stuff that will echo with all dance styles. Come see this band and you will not regret the effort as they will infect you with the enthusiasm of the great music genres of the 20th Century. GET ALONG!!

BILLY CARTE
I now also have a rock and roll solo act under the name of Billy Carte. Included in my repertoire are some songs from mid fifties artists I have been researching e.g. Charlie Feathers, Johnny Burnette, Warren Smith, and of course the early Carl Perkins. They are worth a look on YouTube if you get a chance. Details are shown below for a gig at Just Rock Ipswich in February.
