An opportunity forperformers to take to the mic

FOR the past two-and-a-half years, Willy Jansen has been hosting an open mic night on the third Saturday of every month at the Mount Wallace Jubilee Hall.

Since its inception, the event has attracted a variety of acts, including singers and guitarists.

Jansen said the event is always a great night with plenty of community spirit.

“On the third Saturday of every month, the historic Mount Wallace Hall comes to life,” he said.

“We would love people to come along and witness some of the best local talent or sign up and perform in front of a fun and inviting crowd.

“All talents – singers, magicians, players of instruments, comedians and poets of all ages – are invited to take the stage.

“A light supper is provided, and you can bring your own drinks.”

Jansen is a local resident who just wants to provide entertainment and a performance opportunity for members of the community.

“We’ve had a good roll-up since it began,” he said.

“Attendance slows a bit during winter when we compete with the footy and cold weather but the hall is always nice and warm, and we provide supper.

“This month we have the Ballan Choir performing and a man telling stories as well as many other acts.

“If you are interested in performing, call or text me on 0408 302 125 to book your spot.”

The next open mic night will be held tomorrow, Saturday 20 June, at the Mount Wallace Jubilee Hall.

The hall is at 16 Mount Wallace Hall Road, Mount Wallace, and the event will run from 7pm to 10pm.

Entry is free.
