Live music returns
As a regular pub visitor, I love hearing live music at venues and it's great to see the Mitchell River Tavern supporting local musicians. Xtra Cover plays everything from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s which puts them right in my musical sweet spot with artists like the Eagles, America, Men at Work, AC/DC, Screaming Jets and Elton John.
It promises to be quite a night and it will be fantastic to have some live music back in a Bairnsdale venue this Saturday from 8pm, entry is free! Why not head down a bit earlier to the Mitchell River Tavern and enjoy a feed before a fun night with Xtra Cover?
