Covers band
Classic covers band - Guja
Yes, when we play our classic covers from the 70s, 80s & 90s, John Goudge Band becomes Guja! Do you like it? It's the new name we'll use when we hire ourselves out for parties, w
eddings & other functions that want all those songs we like to sing & dance to.
The band reinterprets a retro mix of funky dance numbers & classic rock, with songs that you are bound to know the words to. The emphasis on live percussion with the infectious “Johnny Conga” is always sure to get the crowd grooving.
For the right function we'll even don retro gear, afro wigs & purple suits just to get that retro vibe.
Past clients include weddings, 40th birthday party, 50th birthday party, New Years Eve Party, end of year corporate functions, bars.
The band is also available for work at cafés, vineyards and lounge bars with a more laid back jazzy repertoire of songs.
We have an excellent crystal clear PA sound system perfect for small to medium sized venues. It can be used for speeches at functions like weddings etc, and playing any ‘CD music’ when required. Johnny Conga also has a funky lighting system including a laser & smoke machines.

possible cover songs for functions - Guja.
This list a taste of the cover songs we can play – predominately hits from the 70s & 80s with a decent dance beat, plus a few slower romantic ones thrown in for wedding receptions.
If there are songs you specifically want for your function, ask John and no doubt the band can produce them for you, given warning.
