Lastest News & Gossip
	04 May 2008 - Welcome to the Justin Sane website! Well, much has been happening since our last update, Jenny and I recently attended the wedding of Troy and Vanessa. Troy White used to play bass with ‘Crank’ but these days he’s strumming a guitar with ‘The Jesters’. So a big “CONGRATS” to Troy and Vanessa! (…see picture here and view more in the photo gallery) It was a great night at the Blue Water Bar with local musicians and surfies well represented. Had a few drinks with Geoff Jones from ‘Wilbur’ ( ‘best man’ ), and Chris Munday from ‘Dazed’ to name a few. World surfing champion Mick Campbell was there and Jenny insisted on a photo (…sorry Mick!). DJ Pork Pie kept the music pumping with even the ‘non-dancers’ up on the floor, - I can only blame the bourbon!!! In other news the Justin Sane DJ’s Troy and Josh have been busy looking after Weddings and private parties. They always do a great job so thanks guys! If you have a Wedding, Birthday or some other occasion coming up and need some entertainment just click on ‘contact us’ to send an email enquiry or you can phone directly. We have Bands, duos, DJ’s and other entertainers available for all sorts of occasions. On that note; a big welcome to some other entertainers, rock bands ‘The Middlerockers’ ‘The Jesters’ and ‘Psycho Magnet’ can now be booked through Justin Sane Entertainment along with the Hastings Koalas String Quartet. I’m finally getting around to putting the respective bios up on the website so your entertainment options are even greater! Take care all. Be good to your Mother! Regards Andrew Ps; finally got the photos up in the gallery from the Crank gig at Finnians a couple of weeks ago, - for those waiting on photos - sorry for the delay!!!
