Hotel licensee Luke Moon said the Ballz’n All band was a popular drawcard – but so was the thought of being able to enjoy a beer on tap, a meal in the bistro and some much-needed socialising.

“Everyone was well behaved, and everyone had a great weekend,” Luke said.

“We still had restrictions on numbers and social distancing, but everyone complied with that and enjoyed the live entertainment on Saturday night.
