Most importantly the band featured Ross McKinlay who is one of Australia's most respected Trumpet performers and teachers.
Greg announced that this concert was one of the most special of his life as he finally managed to get Ross to perform as a member of one of his bands. Ross taught Greg from the age of 8 and still remains his musical 'mentor and father'. The Band performed to a full house and received a huge response from the audience."
