A memorial show is being held to honour the life of our dear friend John Power.
John holds a special place in our hearts here at The Bridge.
John played bass and was vocalist in legendary local outfit The Hippos who helped kick start The Bridge and were resident band here over thirty years ago from 1986 performing here every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for years.

John played in The Hippos, The Foreday Riders, Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons, The Rock Doctors and Co.Caine as well as with international artists such as Roy Buchanan.
