 SINCLAIR AND KING :

For the past few years their energetic acoustic rock performances have delighted music lovers at the Bateau Bay Hotel beer garden once a month on Sunday afternoons, as well as at many other public and private performances.

Phil has played a number of major Blues & Music Festivals, sharing the stage with the likes of Chris Wilson, Matt Corcoran, Pete Cornelius, Phil Emmanuel & Phil Manning, as well as opening shows for popular artists Richard Clapton, Jimmy Barnes, Diesel & IOTA, capturing the attention of audiences with the spirit & energy of his drum.

THE SINCLAIR AND KING REVIEW  |
 RON SINCLAIR & KING RHYTHM:
Bateau Bay Hotel- April 2 2006;
Well I DID say get there early! Wow Capacity is an understatement.
The car park and lounges as well as the Beer Garden were chokkers an hour or so before the boys hit the first note. Not one of the expectant crowd were disappointed at this special show.
On stage with Ron and Phil was special guest bass player Steve Sampson (Fin McCool). Ronnie has been holding out on us with this extremely talented friend methinks! Steve added so much more depth to the sets that the dance area was also well coveted from the early notes. Steve also added some extra harmonies which made 'Old Man' sound just great.
First walk on special guest was Ron's very talented singer/songwriter daughter, Sarah Sinclair. Sarah's confidence has taken great leaps and she is as at home on stage almost as much as her dad. Her rendition of 'Nothing is Free' was absolutely brilliant.
A quick few songs from Dean Sinclair followed with Dean doing a terrific version of 'Tip Of My Tongue'. Is there anyone in the Sinclair family that isn't riddled with musical talent? Dean shows much promise as well. A few more songs from Dean would have been an extra treat but I guess we will have to wait until Ron returns and the shows at The Bateau Bay Hotel get back to normal. Mind you, if I happen to hear Dean is playing elsewhere I will surely let you know.
More songs from from Ron, Steve and Phil, including a great version of 'These Boots Were Made For Walking' to finish off the bracket and the next on stage was Lone Wolf, Lawrence Baker.
This is the biggest show that I have seen at The Bateau and the vibe of the whole afternoon and evening was one of joy, smiles and wonderful entertainment. I do hope Ron doesn't stay away too long. Folks have become quite dependent on their Ron Sinclair monthly shows at The Bateau Bay Hotel! |
