The Velvet Helmets

Classics, played acoustic, with a twist the band puts on them rather than a straight copy. The Velvet Helmets come out of the Shellharbour area on the NSW south coast and aim squarely at the dance floor, which is not always what you expect from an acoustic rock band. Size is flexible: two, three, four or five pieces depending on the room and the budget. Pub gigs, functions, anything where people want songs they know. They'll need power points and a level spot under cover, and the rest they handle.
