The quintet were set to perform a free show at Kiama Bowling Club in July.

However, the band were forced to cancel the show at the last minute due to illness.

Therefore, they will perform a free makeup show on Saturday, October 22 at Kiama Bowling Club. 

Drummer/vocalist Nick Guggisberg said the band performed a mixture of ‘70s rock and Australian rock, with some more modern songs also incorporated.

The line-up is completed by Geoff Marlan (lead guitar/vocals), Mark Bell (bass/vocals), Frank Testa (keyboards/brass/vocals/harmonica) and Anthony Rule (lead vocals).

Care Factor regularly play gigs throughout the Kiama region. 

The majority of members hail from Kiama, with the remainder from Shellharbour. 

Guggisberg said the band’s moniker was derived from the original four members’ day jobs.

“Three of the guys were registered nurses and I have a social work degree,” he said.

Guggisberg said the band formed the best part of a decade ago, although Rule only came on board little more than 18 months ago.

“Anthony is a great singer and has done a lot of musical theatre.

“We’re all old farts – he’s a young bloke, but he fits us like a glove,” Guggisberg laughed.
