Greg Lyon’s Hip Operation are playing this Sunday afternoon at Ballina RSL. The Blues Club is excited to present this highly acclaimed outfit with Greg Lyon (vocals/bass), who brings together some outstanding players including Aaron West (vocals/guitar), Kirk Lorange (vocals/slide guitar) and Scott Hills (drums), delivering some of the best sounds and grooves you’ll hear anywhere.

More than five hundred people have rallied on the Northern Rivers along with thousands across the country calling for an end to domestic and family violence.
