Aussie Bush Band The Free Selectors
The Free Selectors bush band are a fun rollicking, professional and very experienced band. They have played - every where man, across the desert sand - well over Victoria and parts of N.S.W. and some of us have played overseas in foreign climes as well as in Tassie
Their gigs include great weddings in fancy venues shearing sheds (with sheep), or large marquees.
They play for corporate gigs, conferences (in flash hotels,) many Australia Day celebrations and have entertained overseas visitors, played in festivals on outdoor stages, on the back of trucks, in country church halls, town halls, school yards and reception centers, on footy fields, at the Show grounds, in tents, at race meetings, in restaurants, wineries, Channel nine's footy show on the telly, pubs and clubs and have played for many, many fundraisers.
The Free Selectors guarantee a good time will be had by all and have excellent sound equipment suitable for all size venues and will expertly teach all dances.
They own a lagerphone and a didgeridoo. And of course four-part harmonies do justice to a large repertoire of Aussie bush songs and contemporary material.
The Free Selectors Bush Band's repertoire consists of Jigs, reels, waltzes and traditional Australian and contemporary songs.
