ROC PRESENTS - SYDNEY TO SURFERS CHARITY BIKE RIDE

The Sydney to Surfers Cycle Tour raises much needed funds for Father Chris Riley’s Youth Off The Streets charity. Youth Off The Streets supports chronically homeless and drug addicted young Australians as they work to turn their lives around. It is their goal that these young people will leave their care drug free, with a high school education, living skills and a full or part time job in hand.

Based on the philosophy that every young person has greatness within, these programs are non-denominational and non discriminatory.

Steph is trying to raise as much money as possible to support this worth while cause with 100% of every donation going to Youth Off The Streets.

A DATE WITH RACHAEL ST JAMES 2008

What a great night, celebrating the launch of Rachel St James 2008 calendar at the beautifully established Stamford Plaza Hotel in Double Bay last night. Over 200 guests attended the evening, which featured cabaret singer Grant Galea and an amazing performance by Rachel St James herself.

The event raised money for the Benardos Children Charity.

A KNIGHT IN THE BAROSSA VALLEY

The Barossa Valley hosted the concert of the year this weekend, as Sir Elton John kicked off his, ‘A Knight Under The Stars’ solo tour Saturday night!

On stage, it was just Sir Elton and his piano as he sung through many of his hits from his career that has spanned over forty years.

“This is the earliest I’ve ever been on stage”, Elton said as he appeared, and then began the long awaited concert with his 1971 hit, Your Song.

As the sun began to set, the hits just got better with his classic Honkey Cat, Philadelphia Freedom and an impressive, Daniel. Throughout the evening, Sir Elton would stop and talk to the crowd, but it was not until the great rendition of Rocket Man when the true creative song writing genius would show his true flare.

Just before the Knight closed the three-hour show with his brilliant rendition of the Lion King spectacular, Circle Of Life, he left his South Australian fans by saying, “I’m so proud to be here in Australia, every time I come here it just gets better and better and it’s like coming home for me”.

And we can’t wait until you come home again..

BURLESQUE BALL SYDNEY A SUCCESS!!

Jac Bowie's Burlesque Ball in Sydney last night went off with a blast, full of colour and movement!

If there was one place to be in Sydney last night it was the Gaelic Theatre as over three hundred people packed the theatre to see burleque art at it's very best. With lush costumes and colourful sets the intimate setting of the night was displayed through lighting and mood-appropriate music.

The 2007 Burlesque Ball went off without a single hitch and all I can say is, next year's ball sure should be something on everyone's event calendar!
