Hellzapoppin’ tonight is at 7pm

Please note: The doors for Hellzapoppin’ tonight open at 7pm (NOT 8pm). Competition starts at 7.30pm.

Welcome drinks and dinner

Can’t believe Day One is down and done already!

Nearly 50 of you showed up for dinner at the Grand View Hotel. They were understaffed despite our request for more staff behind the bar, but all of you were fed and watered eventually. How about the food there, hey? A few of us were rather partial to the eye fillet with potato rosti.

Yvette Johansson and Friends at Estonian House

Of course, as always, Yvette rocked our socks, this time at the beautiful Estonian House. We believe Shane McCarthy requested Cold Chisel but they didn’t oblige, funnily enough. We also heard that the band managed to do a song that some of the musos had never played before. You guys were dancing to a live jam! Impro upon impro. The live jazz awesomeness never ends.
