Rosella

Rosella play bush dance and concert work around Newcastle with three to five musicians, and they've been doing it a long time. Everything is played live, no backing files, which is worth knowing if you've been burned by an act miming over tracks. The band is built for daytime and early evening audiences, and it lands especially well with seniors' groups and church events, where the dancing is the point and the volume isn't. Planning is done carefully and the line-up flexes to suit the room. The same players also take bookings as a light jazz or country outfit, anywhere from a soloist to a four piece.
