choreographed performances made them one of the most entertaining and
professional vocal groups in Australia. The group spent many years recording
and performing their own music around Australia and supporting both national and
international acts. The group impressed music icons such as diva Marcia Hines
and rock legend Jon Stevens who both had the group write and record, perform
live and appear on national television with them. Kieran is a high level
official in the public service by day and by night this unleashed dynamo of
energy and style will make sure you have an unforgettable night of
entertainment.
By day he is a mild mannered Public Servant, but by night
he changes into a raging inferno of pent up energy and raw sexual piano power.
Take care near the virus or you'll get struck down with the unmistakeable sounds
of love and enthusiasm.
He has played in quite a few bands around town at numerous locations and when playing
with BBG he chooses to use the Yamaha SO8 for pumping the adrenaline to new
highs.
