George Washingmachine @ the GFA with his Bonza Vista Social Club! 🎶

A consistent contributor to the GFA's 2 decades, George Washingmachine has a tone & front that reminds you of Drambuie & Bundaberg in no particular order 😀 We had a ball strutting & dancing the fiddles across these (sometimes) for kids pieces!

Hope you can make it to the GFA @ The Capitol Theatre, Tamworth NSW, sometime and see it all in action LIVE!
