The Rumour

Start with a dinner set, then party, or go straight to three 45-minute sets of upbeat dance music. The Rumour can do it either way. Marty Worrall and Karyn Raftery share lead vocals and harmonies, backed by guitar, keys and tracks, and the players are well known around the Hunter. For something gentler, book The Rumour Unplugged: four players, two acoustic guitars plus both singers, reworking familiar songs in acoustic form. Ask about a whole night of Australian artists. For an outdoor function they need a solid, flat surface to set up on, not grass, dirt or a slope, and power within reach. Newcastle-based, they travel up to 200 km.
