ROTARY Club of Euroa with the support of Wendy Stapleton, Wilbur Wilde, Julian Cairns and their band will be hosting a gig to raise money to upgrade women’s facilities at the Euroa Memorial Oval. Wendy, Wilbur and Julian Carins and the crew will be performing at the Football Club oval on November 16 at 6.30pm. After last year’s Credence Clearwater Survival success, Rotary has another concert that is guaranteed to transport us all, young and old, to the golden era of 20th century pop and rock music. Wendy Stapleton started performing at a very young age with her own band in 1976 followed by” Wendy and the Rocketts” in 1980 which is best known for the hit “Play the Game” in 1983. She has also shared a stage with some of Australia’s most famous singers: John Farnham, Glen Shorrock and Jon English. On the night she will perform songs by Carole King, Dusty Springfield, Tina Turner and the Pointer Sisters. Wilbur Wilde, in addition to being a famous singer who has appeared with the likes of Skyhooks, Cold Chisel and Split Enz, is also a renowned saxophonist. He has a strong history of television appearances and radio engagements and, in 2007, was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. In Euroa, he will be performing some classic Aussie rock numbers from groups such as Mondo Rock, Dragon, The Angels, Daddy Cool and Ol’55. Julian Cairns is a musician of great standing in both the educational and entertainment sectors. He will also be performing, both as a soloist and as an accompanist. On drums, we will see Robi Parolin, David Manton on guitar, and Bruno Di Stanislo on backing vocals and bass. The concert is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Euroa, Liquorworks (Tarcombe Street) and the Euroa Hotel (Middle Pub). There will be food vans, a BBQ and drinks will be available at the footy club bar.
