Bernard Patrick ‘Doc’ Neeson, who died in 2014, was an Australian singer-songwriter and the lead singer of rock band The Angels.

Eames said for the past three years, the band had performed a Doc Neeson birthday show and a memorial show at the hotel.

“We will be playing all of Doc’s songs (including) Shadow Boxer, No Secrets, Take A Long Line and Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again,” he said.

“It is almost like our anniversary – the first show was on June 28, five years ago.”

Watt said the band aimed to continue on the memory of Neeson.

“The demographic of the (Bassendean) area really likes this style of music,” he said.

“We have always been passionate about music – every single one of us.”

Over The Top will also be playing at the Newport Hotel in Fremantle on August 16.
