November Events

Microphones 0

November has seen a few changes to the fundraiser, some great ideas introduced and two phone calls that kicked the fundraiser forward a few notches. With only 5 months to go before our ‘Event of the Year’, it was fantastic to see such enthusiasm from those who we did not expect…

The first Friday of November was a busy one. Since the start of this appeal we have been searching for an MC/host for the night. Jumping on Google we opened up a website – the Australia Network Entertainment agency. Speaking to Tina about Zeke’s Fundraiser and explaining our situation, Tina offered to give us a call back after speaking to a few of her clients. Within the hour she had secured two Australian identities who were keen to help out. We say a HUGE thank-you to Tina and Gary Morris from the Australian Network Entertainment for their fantastic efforts for Zeke’s Fundraiser.

[cell_text]Marty Fields is a rapid-fire power station of material and one of the genuine big guns on the Australian comedy circuit. The son of Aussie legend, Maurie Fields, you’d know Marty from his five years on “Hey Hey it’s Saturday”, “Blankety Blanks”, “The Battle of the Sexes” or his ongoing role as Sgt. Roy Holland in “Blue Heelers”.
He’s written three best selling comedy books, is a presenter on Melbourne’s 3AW and has a comedy radio show that is networked to over a hundred stations nationally.
He was recently nominated for a “Mo” award as the best stand-up comedian in the country.
He’s considered one of our great comedy exports, and has just returned from his third tour of the United States where he performed in Phoenix, Las Vegas, L.A, Dallas, and headlined for a week at the New York Comedy Club in Manhattan.
In 2005 he was inducted into the Australian Comedy Hall of Fame. [/cell_text]

Far from being an imitator, Ella Spizzica has scooped up her influences – which range anywhere from Melanie to Eliza Doolittle to Radio Head – and set out to make the songs she covers her own!
Ella’s sweet, colourful sound is supported by an underlying attitude that tells you ‘here I am and I mean it’!
Her unique and modern sound captivates from the moment she begins her musical conversation with you.
Ella has been honing her skills (in her short twelve month musical ride) by performing at various functions around Echuca and Rochester. Some of her notable performances include, a live to air performance on EMFM radio in Echuca and the Runnymede Music Festival and more recently, to a large crowd at the Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival.
Ella also participated in the Echuca Winter Blues Festival – Blues Boot Camp in July 2012. She won the packed crowd as she performed solo and in a group at the opening of the blues festival.
It wont be long before Ella is writing her own songs, so If you want a fresh burst to your senses then Ella Bella is one performer to look out for! [/cell_text]
