Sapphire Coast Rock 'n' Rodders Festival



Gorgeous Festivals & Special Events







The Merimbula 50's Dance Festival is now in the planning
stage & will be held in early March each year over
the 3 day Victorian Labor Day Long Weekend  

The Festivals are being organised by Lyndon Lewis,
the founder & lead guitarist of Melbourne's
legendary "Shadoogie" Rock 'n' Roll band

The inaugural Sapphire Rod 'n' Rodders Festival was
a one-day event - & was held on March 6th 2010,
(The Festivals are now three-day events)

Included are R 'n' R & Swing Dance Workshops during
the day, & Rock 'n' Roll dances during the evenings

Merimbula's "Club Sapphire" is a fabulous venue

The room was decorated in 50's theme & had a welcoming
ambience with a large "easy to dance on" timber floor

The dance was MC-ed by one of the Sapphire Coast's
most eccentric figures - the fabulous Ray Byrne
Ray is a great guy & we very much enjoy the generous
hospitality of Ray & his wonderful wife Gai

              



The night started out with one of Melbourne's very
best Rock 'n' Roll Bands - Itchy Fingers

    

    




Next in the line-up was the Sapphire Coast's brand
new Rock 'n' Roll band - Shadoogie

    

    

    

    



The best guide to how well Rock 'n' Roll bands are playing
is to "check out the dance floor" - & for both bands
the floor very much "told the story"

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

         



Both bands were brilliant, but the absolute highlight was the
25 minute "jam session" they put on at the end of the night
