• John Stephens Percussionist
• Ron Thomas Bass Player

Billy has thrilled punters in support of Johnny O’Keefe and more Australian legends of rock n roll than you can shake a ‘Fender Guitar’ at. Many times a band leader, vocalist and performer in his own right; Billy Orr remains one of the greats in a genre of music that knows no bounds. Add the vocal dynamics and crowd engaging antics of seasoned performer and lovable larrikin frontman Jack McGuire means Rip It Up can wear the “Adelaide’s Premier Classic Rock N Roll Band” badge with justified pride.
