29 Oct 2011, program change: The grounding of the Qantas fleet has meant that Dan Sultan (Australia) is unable to fly from Melbourne and will be replaced by the Village Vibes Marimbas, a Fremantle band who play infectious African melodies.
The Bombay Royale (Australia)
This newly formed Melbourne ensemble plays surf, disco and funk tunes from 1960s and 1970s Bollywood. Think surfadelic Hindi and bizarre and mysterious music of vintage Indian cinema. The Bombay Royale show is all about exotic locations, cocktails, karate and the almighty power of the funk.
