CHRISTMAS 2013 is close to a sellout in Sutherland Shire and St George with entertainment at many clubs and pubs booked out or getting close to maximum audience numbers.
Consider Miranda Hotel where Steve Hart & the All Stars performed in front of a full house last Friday night.
Hart, who combines entertaining with being a Fox Sports presenter, said it was flattering that his idea to bring back old school pub rock was proving to be so popular.
Melbourne bands Calling All Cars and Kingswood are tipped to pump up the crowd when they appear at Miranda Hotel on Thursday, January 2.
Kingswood have returned to Australia and straight on the touring road with a new single Sucker Punch. Their debut LP was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee.
"This will be my first visit to Miranda," said Kingswood's lead singer Fergus Linacre. "I am really looking forward to it."
After Miranda, Calling All Cars and Kingswood are set to play at Big Day Out festivals around the country during 2014.
Are you glad to see pub rock back?
