History
The very well-known, well-travelled and heavily rocking Red House Roll Band were Geelong’s most successful outfit in the early 70s.

Fully professional for most of that period they appeared locally at the Barwon Heads, Torquay, Sundowner and Golf View Hotels. In Melbourne they appeared at the Croxton Park, Waltzing Matilda and Whitehorse Hotels as well as the weekly dances at Powerhouse and suburban Town Halls.

They toured country Victoria and nationally to Perth, Sydney and Newcastle. A big highlight was a Melbourne Town Hall gig with Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs. This powerhouse band re-formed to play at the 2019 Geelong Musos’ Reunion with Alan Williams on bass/vocals.
Support Gigs
They supported most of the major artists of the time and also appeared at the famous Sunbury Music Festival.
Recordings
They released the single ‘Oh Lucky Man” / Movin’ On’. They can be seen on an ABC Weekend Magazine clip on YouTube playing at the Torquay Hotel.
