Beat Around The Bush Band

Based in: Melbourne VIC
Line up(s) available: 4 piece (quartet)

Beat Around The Bush have been playing bush dances and bush music for over 20 years!

We have played countless weddings, bush dances, school shows and festivals. Our dances are a heap of fun, with traditional dances being altered for an extra twist, under the zany direction of our crazed caller Ricardo.

The music ranges from traditional Australian and Celtic tunes, songs and ballads to even RocknRoll. The band also features original songs written by Phil Beggs, who has produced three CDS and won two golden guitar awards at Port Fairy Folk Festival.

The group consists of:

• Phil Beggs on lead vocals,guitar and mandolin
• Phil Carroll on accordion, flute,whistles and vocals
• Helen Searle on the fiddle
• Richard Kentwell on lagerphone,percussion and calling
• Dave Bailey on bass and vocals
