Rosebud Christmas Parade 2019
On Saturday morning SPUKES kicked off the annual Rosebud Christmas Parade with a street performance for early shoppers and cafe crowds. Later we were joined by the Jqzz Jokers as the Peninsula School of Dance led Santa and his huskies up the hill to the Dimmey’s forecourt.

We played this song on Monday 12th February and it sounded great. George Harrison plays a nice 8 bar chord intro before the rest of the “Wilburys” join in. I promised to make a short video of this – and here it is.
Christmas Greetings to All
We had bit of fun testing our ‘green screen’ video set-up at the last session for 2019. Here are season’s greetings from some of our members.
