Crawfish Po'boys
Greg Nunan
For over 30 years The Swinging Sixties have built a very strong reputation for their ability to engage their audience like no other group of its kind.
Dressed in tailor made 60’s suits with all the accoutrements and armed with Rickenbacker and Gretsch guitars and Vox amps to reproduce magic sounds, this entertaining and authentic group has an exciting rawness that was prevalent at live shows of the era.
They held an 8 year residency at the iconic Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel during the late 80’s to mid 90’s.
At The Fig, expect to hear numbers from groups and divas including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Monkees, The Crystals, Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark and others.

It’s “social music” – Eamon Dilworth’s Crawfish Po’Boys brings people together from young & old. Inspired by the musical melting pot of the music of New Orleans the shows are all about breaking down the fourth wall and inviting the audience to participate both in song & dance.
There’s hints of blues, jazz & soul with the odd tip of the hat to Dr John & Preservation hall. Really, it’s an all inclusive affair bound to leave you smiling a little bigger than when you walked in
