Plot
editThe premise is that the North Bondi RSL have sold out a performance by Col Joye, but realise on the day that they forgot to actually book him. They need to find a cheap replacement quickly so they contact "that Newcastle mob, the Castanet Club" because "you can't get much cheaper than that". After a brief "gathering the band" sequence set in various locations around Newcastle, and a road trip to Sydney, the band arrive in North Bondi. The rest of the movie is a live Castanet Club concert at the North Bondi RSL.
