This was the second year of Rockin the Reserve at the Mulgrave Cricket Club. The lineup was a strong 80s throwback with Mental As Anything, The Black Sorrows, Jon Stevens (Noiseworks), Dale Ryder (Boom Crash Opera), Brian Mannix (Uncanny Xmen) & Scott Carne (Kids in the Kitchen). The grey day didn’t stop the crowd from getting up and dancing along to all the hits. It was a fun day out.
