Just wanted to know why my dad's name is not on here...Dougie Rome played keyboards for them after Attie Van Wyk.
Sorry about that - I was only able to source the original members names. Ballyhoo has had a number of changes over the years (the still continue to play today) so it is quite difficult to list all the players. Thank you for your comment - please provide the years Dougie Rome played with the band and I will post it.
Was Jack Hancke ever invloved with Ballyhoo?
