CENTENARY CONCERT
SATURDAY 25TH OCTOBER 2025
What better way to celebrate our Centenary Year than paying homage to one of Australia’s most iconic bands – AUSTRALIAN CRAWL – with RECKLESS The Australian Crawl Tribute. All band members have been carefully chosen to reproduce the much-loved band who back in the 80’s actually played at the Ranelagh Club. In April of 1980 the release of The Boys Light Up album catapulted the band into the thick of the Australian Rock Scene. The timeless songs still get regular airplay today, proof that the talent of the song writing and musicianship of this band is on record as unique. Come and hear the stories from original band member Bill McDonough, there will be a Q&A, Merchandise and signing of his book Sons of Beaches. Doors open 6pm Show starts 8pm Members $45 Guests $55 Limit 2 guests per member.
A MASSIVE NIGHT NOT TO BE MISSED!
