Time for Hat to Hang Up

ONE of Newcastle's most popular cover bands, LOVE THAT HAT, is calling it a day.

Love That Hat has been gigging non-stop for the past two years, spreading an infectious brand of musical mayhem to what was at first a bewildered audience.

Novocastrians took their time to appreciate the talent of MICHAEL STOVE, DAVE CARTER and SUE CARSON. Intricate arrangements, humour and strong vocals combined with the Hat's interpretation of their much-loved and left-of-centre classics have often left fans gob-smacked.

The band performs today at the Delaney Hotel, tomorrow at Club Phoenix, Friday at the Blackbutt Hotel and Saturday at the Nags Head Hotel.TE
