Festivals – Pubs & Clubs
The TailGators bring a unique edge to festivals, pubs & clubs because although we’re a band that hits the stage and rolls out country music everyone knows & loves- we also bring the dancing to the next level by seamlessly blending in the called line dances. So it’s not just the regular dancers that are on the dance floor- we get people dancing who you’d never expect to see dusting their boots off, on the dance floor, kicking up their heels.
SET THE VIBE!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!
It was amazing!!! You guys set the vibe, got us involved, did the dance routine- and everybody was bouncing. You set the bar, set the vibe so high- everybody got amongst it and had soooo much fun.
The dance floor was so full- no space left!!!
Thank you so much!!!

FULL DANCE-FLOOR WITHIN TWO MINUTES!
Michael and the team have been a breeze to work with in the lead up to our event and eager to share promotional material we had through their own channels.
They came dressed to match the theme of our Texan event and within 2 minutes had a full dance floor for the duration of their performance.
Everyone in attendance complimented the band on how much fun they were!

BRILLIANT! SO MUCH LAUGHTER!!!
Dear Michael,
We had a fantastic night last Friday thanks to the Swamp Dawkins Band! The music was toe-tapping brilliant and your instruction fantastic!
So much fun and laughter from every one of our 110 tennis club members who enjoyed the music and dancing. We hope to have you guys back soon!!
Ross – Sports Club Night – Bareena Park – October 2022
AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT!!! SENSATIONAL!!!
The crowd interaction was amazing!
We had an outstanding time and learnt a few new tricks. I think the Women’s College girls will be the most entertaining at any party we go to now because we’re got some new moves up our sleeves!
Michael and the band did an incredible job. From the start to finish- the most incredible process. Bump-in to bump-out- perfect. The songs- amazing (we heard some Dolly Parton! The crowd went off!)
So it was an incredible, incredible night and you can still hear the hooting outside and we’d love to have you back very soon!

TRULY AMAZING!!!
The Forbes Heritage Festival were lucky enough to secure Michael and the amazing Swamp Dawkins Bush Band.
From our first contact, Michael was more than accommodating and so easy to work with.
The local community have been raving about the entertainment at the Festival, so many great comments about their music and how entertaining and engaging they were throughout the Festival.
A huge thank you to Michael and the Bush Band, it was nothing but perfect for our event. Bring on the 2022 Festival!!
Cheers and thank so much, you are truly amazing!!

SWAMP DAWKINS NAILED IT!!!
We needed a fun event for our weekend retreat that would work with our varied age range? (19-40yrs) and cultural backgrounds- and Swamp Dawkins NAILED IT!
Their dances had all of us mixing and switching partners, which was great to bond the group together. Everyone had so much fun – there was non-stop laughter as we danced the night away. People have not stopped talking about it since!
Booking the band with Michael was so easy – it was obvious that he wanted us to have a great night, and he was willing to be flexible to the needs of our group and the venue we hired. The whole band was so friendly and had such a great style about them – it made our weekend retreat extra special.
I would definitely recommend Swamp Dawkins to anyone – thank you so much for a night to remember!
