After a few days of concern regarding the weather, the Locals Only Show went ahead as planned drawing a large and appreciative audience. Organisers have always maintained that the show is blessed. Hosted by Dan Burns, it was an afternoon of music and laughter with magic performances from Dreadfully Bald, Col Shields, Frolly and Rhino Kennedy. Quite a few artists decided to stay home because of the ‘cyclonic’ weather.
It was great to see the return of Frank and Amanda to the Locals’ stage. Known as Frolly, they were well worth waiting for. Voice of Locals Only winner, Jack James had the beer garden rocking as well. The afternoon isn’t just about the music in that it’s become a place for musicians and their friends to catch up. It’s also a place to meet young emerging artists and to get to know them. Amanda Jones’s son, Corey and his buddy on bass had a hit out on the stage. Corey has been down in Melbourne studying at Music College for the last couple of years and it really showed in their set.
The next Locals Only Show is on the 31st March and will also feature the World Wide Shave for a Cure. Fiona, Karen, Janet, and Thommo will be shaving their luscious locks for charity. A few other latecomers will also be involved in this fundraiser. Please come by and support this event.
