Extra-long line-up of live music at the Metro this King’s Long Weekend

This King’s Long Weekend, the Metropolitan Hotel is putting on an extra-long line-up of live, local music, with five acts playing over five nights.

Getting the holiday weekend started on Thursday, is seasoned musician Mick Vawdon, who will be playing a mix of old classics and new hits.

Then on Friday, solo artist Paul Bergagnin keeps the party going, before handing things over to Chris Hanson, who’ll be singing old favourites with a twist!

On Sunday, catch up-and-coming Orange country pop artist Anthea Basha, who’s been making waves since releasing her debut single “Heartbreakin’ It In” earlier this year.

Jamie Cooper will then close out a huge weekend of entertainment taking you on a ride from the 70s through to the 80s.

So head on down to the Metro June 8–12 and enjoy live music from some of the best performers in the Central West!
