FOUR-TIME Logie award-winning television music quiz, RocKwiz, is coming to Ballarat for a live staging, with presenters Julia Zemiro, Brian Nankervis, roadie\/human scoreboard Dugal McAndrew and the legendary RocKwiz OrKestra.<\/p>\n

One hundred and eighty episodes of the much-loved show were filmed in The Esplanade Hotel’s Gershwin Room in St Kilda and broadcast on SBS between 2005 and 2016.<\/p>\n

The live version has been presented all across Australia since 2010.<\/p>\n

Guests over the years have included a roll call of Aussie music icons such as Normie Rowe, Kate Ceberano, Jimmy Barnes, James Reyne, Chrissy Amphlett and Renee Geyer.<\/p>\n

Zemiro said getting back on the road and touring around the country is what RocKwiz does best. “If life is all getting a bit much, and you need to have a laugh and hear some fabulous music, come join us. We guarantee we’ll make you feel better,” she said.<\/p>\n

Nankervis said he’s excited to be doing the big run of shows.<\/p>\n

“On The Road Again, Roadhouse Blues, Hit The Road Jack, Freeway Of Love\u2026 you know the tour bus will be rocking,” he said.<\/p>\n

“There’s something very special about being on the road, playing beautiful theatres with a travelling company of artists, inviting audience members to be part of the action. It’s a thrill to travel around Australia with this show we love. See you in the foyer!”<\/p>\n

Never Mind the Buzzers, Here’s RocKwiz Live! is coming to the Civic Hall on Thursday 28 November at 7.30pm. Tickets are available on the TicketSearch website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
