Well it’s the morning after and the hall has an aroma of stale cheese and warm dips… proof that it’s been a good night.
We knew it was going to be a good night when Quizmaster Tony Moclair took to the stage with his opening gag taking the micky out of a slight technical glitch… it was the first of many a good laugh and Tony’s knowledge on the subject floored us all.
Highlights
- Jimmy Antonopoulos’ Pink Floyd solo (David Gilmour would have been proud), accompanied by the infamous bass riff coolly played by Scott Shaw
- Ash Naylor’s glorious tribute to David Bowie and Prince
- Rick Swaney’s belting rendition of a Simple Minds classic
- Geoff Reany proved you can be Stayin’ Alive without the jumpsuit
- Peter Kennedy’s dulcet Kermit tones
- Paul Mameghan’s classical violin diddies that had everyone guessing
- Atty Heale proving that girls just want to have fun
- Ursula & Jed put the torch and twang into a Cash & Carter hit
- Keri Spence, Atty Heale and Ursula Wood lifted love where it belongs
- And last but definitely not least the amazing sound of the Moreland City Soul Revue… FPS Hall did not know what had hit it.
