The country and western guys


Trevor Gunter and Graeme Bardsley-Smith joined the band in 1978. This pair of guitarists had been playing together for years and had a really tight, sweet sound. They became the heart of a recreated Donga Dan that specialised in bush dance. With Robyn Rodger providing melodies, Ray Christison, Glenn Rodger and Peter Aroney running rhythm the band developed a tight sound that was perfect for dancing. 

Trevor and Graeme brought a good slice of country and western, old time gospel, Chad Morgan and Australian folk music to the music mix. The new band was an instant success.
