The night started on a bit of a disappointing note, as the Dukes of Windsor announced at the last minute they would not be playing, due to a loss of the singer Jack’s voice. But still, the night had to go on.

And that’s where our very own five-piece Launceston band, The Voyeurs, come in. With their snappy lyrics and their very own style of music – incorporating violin in to their whole act – they quickly livened everyone’s seemingly dampened spirits. They played a few songs from their debut EP, as well as some others thrown into the mix. When a band includes more than one music teacher, and a radio DJ, you know they know their music. And this showed in the performance, with all instruments being played to perfection.

Although the vocals may have lacked a little stability, the songs were well put-together, really bringing out the most in the electric violin. By midway through the set they had people on the dancefloor. With a fairly short performance soon coming to an end, we all parted ways, disappointed about the Dukes, but pleased we saw one of own great Launceston bands play.

With their very first album on the way, we are sure to be seeing a bit more from these guys. Go along and support our very own local talent. They’ll sure thank you for it, and you’ll have a great time!
