The Bullfrog Rata Express

Bullfrog Rata’s musical journey has been wide and varied. From busking on the streets in towns like Wairoa and Waipukerau to flying on jets to play for US billionaires.

He has been lucky enough to open for and share the stage with many of his idols including Midge Marsden and The Chills, and with international blues acts like Taj Mahal, Watermelon Slim as well as megastars Tina Turner, Charlie Pride, and Jethro Tull.

His band this week features:

Patrick Bleakley on bass

Geoff Culverwell on trumpet

Abe Bailie on drums.
