The recent Jerry Lee Lewis tribute event at the Astor was fine example of Perth Rock’n'Roll at its best. The feedback was glowing and many who attended raved about the show.
But if Perth Nostalgia Festival is going to come close to producing an event along the lines of Wintersun, it’s going to need much more support than the 350 who showed up for the Astor. Ticket sellers complained that it was tough work getting people excited enough to part with $25 measley dollars.
Come on Perth !!!!
Don’t we deserve to have as much fun as other States? Let’s make Rock’n'Roll great. It takes a lot of committment and effort by those involved. It’s important that EVERYONE gets behind this movement.
- Get the festival newsletter
- Attend the fundraisers
- Become a sponsor
- Buy tickets early
- Tell your friends
- GET EXCITED !
If we don’t, this opportunity will fade away forever. As chairman I know, those who are putting in the work behind the scenes are as passionate and capable as any committee could hope for. But nobody wants to feel that they are giving up their free time to do something that isn’t valued. They won’t do it thanklessly forever.
If PNF fails, there isn’t anyone in the scene who would pick up the reigns again for another try. That would be sad and a great loss to Rock’n'Roll in WA.
But if every dancer takes pride of ownership to make it work it can’t help but succeed. All hands are needed. The question is … what are YOU willing to do?
