LAST TWO T&E SANDO SHOWS !


      Hey Gang !

Here’s the latest for Dave Tice & Mark Evans at the Sandringham Hotel, Newtown....

It’s official, time to saddle up for the last two Saturday Arvo T & E shows at the Sando, Saturdays December 1 & 8 from 4pm. It has been an incredibly successful seven years (yes, 7!) at the Sando for Dave and Mark and they would like to thank Tony and Kim Townsend and their wonderful Sando Staff (past and present) for their continued support and hospitality.

 It’s more than sad that the Sando’s run has come to an end, particularly in the fashion that it has but it appears the site will re-emerge as a live music venue after renovations, stay tuned....

   Also stay tuned for news regarding new places to catch up with Dave Tice & Mark Evans...

    Saddle Up a Fresh Horse Baby, Saddle Up!

Dave Tice, Mark Evans, The Sando !





     The Sando rolls on with Dave Tice & Mark Evans doing their Saturday afternoon acoustic blues n roots thing from 4pm, this Saturday November 17.

  It now appears that The Sando may well have been saved as a live music venue, possibly not under the same guise and unfortunately without its guiding light Tony Townsend, which is an injustice in itself…..

   So it also appears that the Dave Tice & Mark Evans residency is nearing its end after just on 6 years, a real shame but there is still a chance over the next two weeks to make them big ones, so LET’S GO GANG!
