Feel good musical fundraiser
A HOST of the Tablelands’ best musicians will take the stage to assist one of their own on Saturday, in a fundraiser variety performance night for a cherished volunteer.
High calibre acts including the popular ‘A Street Band’, Gary Dozier, Nicole Willinger, Bruce Thompson, Matt Krolik and Neville Condon will hit the stage at Tablelands Music Lovers Club, Grainger Lane Atherton.
Local tree lopper and club volunteer Nimai Plantener was unfortunately involved in a truck accident earlier this year. While no one was seriously injured, he has suffered financial stress and could do with a lift.
“His hard work was instrumental in the establishment of TML’s new venue in Grainger Lane. From lighting to the art on the walls, his efforts helped see the building take shape from an empty warehouse to the top-class music venue today,” organiser Bruce Thompson said.
“When I heard of Nimai’s misfortune, I naturally wanted to find a way to help him out. A fundraising concert immediately came to mind.
“At TML, all our volunteers are cherished. If something like this were to happen to any of us, we would jump to each other’s aid. Every act on the night will be donating their time and talents.”
A host of fantastic raffles with prizes from supporting local businesses will be drawn between each act, including a major prize of a $200 grocery voucher from IGA Atherton.
“Simply put, it’s a great night out and a feel-good atmosphere knowing every dollar will go directly to this great cause,” Bruce said.
The night begins at 7pm, with the door and bar open at 6:30pm. Cash is preferred on the night.
