Hall set to rock and roll

By Lachlan Ellis

There will be moving and grooving to classic rockabilly tunes at the Bacchus Marsh Public Hall this month, with the Kieron McDonald Combo arriving next weekend.

From 2 – 6pm on Saturday 20 May, Apple 98.5 FM President and rockabilly lover Karellyn Dangar is organizing the event, and says the concert is sure to take attendees back in time.

“It’s like turning the clocks back, when you walk in through those doors, it’s turning the clocks back to an era where we’ve got the fabulous music, the dancing, the clothes, the cruisers and hot rods out the front. It’s just a fun time,” Ms Dangar told the Moorabool News.

“People say to me ‘I don’t know how to dance, I don’t have the clothes’. That’s not the point – come down and have a good time. It’s four hours, it’s in the afternoon, come down and enjoy yourself…come and do your own thing.

“We’ve got authentic rockabilly bands playing, they play it the way it should be played, not their interpretations.”

Ms Dangar urges people to come and meet new people, and get on the dance floor even if they don’t know how to dance.

“Meet everybody and have a good time, it doesn’t matter if you know how to dance – I could teach someone the basics in 15 minutes. Develop your own style, that’s what it’s all about,” she said.

On top of the groovy 50s-style music, the day will also feature lucky door and raffle prizes. Tickets are $25 prepaid, or $30 at the door.

Please note that the event is cash only, as there will be no card facility at the Hall.
