Cossie and the Disappointments with Hawke’s Bay Big Band
November 18, 2023 @ 5:30 pm – 9:00 pm
We all know that the best music for singing and dancing was created last century, so let’s do it! Bursting
out of Wollongong, NSW, Australia, Cossie and the Disappointments are a retro party big band with 17
musicians and two female singers that play hits from the 50s to the 90s for maximum musical enjoyment.
The band will be touring Hawkes Bay region from November 14-18, 2023 focusing on good dance tunes
to promote foot-tapping fun!
If you like songs such as Fever (Peggy Lee, 1958); L.O.V.E. (Nat King Cole, 1958); Beyond the Sea
(Bobby Darin, 1959); Green Onions (Booker T & the MGs, 1962); I Only Want to be With You, (Dusty
Springfield, 1963); Mustang Sally (The Commitments, 1965); I Feel Good (James Brown, 1965); 25 or 6
to 4 (Chicago,1970); Long Train Running (Doobie Brothers, 1973); Old Time Rock and Roll (Bob Seger
and the Silver Bullet Band, 1978); Unchain My Heart (Joe Cocker, 1987); Killing Me Softly (Roberta
Flack, 1972); Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Queen, 1979), Bad Habits (Billy Field, 1981); and Walking
on Sunshine (Katrina and the Waves, 1985) then Cossie and the Disappointments are your kinda band!
Why Hawkes Bay? We know that Hawkes Bay region is known for its beaches, restaurants, pubs and
wineries so it sounds like it is the fun capital of New Zealand. Also Napier is the Art Deco capital with
fine wineries, endless dining options, is a cruise ship port, and has numerous performance spaces for live
music. So we reckon Cossie and the Disappointments are a good fit for our New Zealand debut tour.
Don’t be disappointed by missing out on The Disappointments!
