The return of Big Al’s Cabaret raised $7000 for Wimmera Against Cancer in Kids, WACK, and organisers are planning another charity event for July next year.

Performer and organiser Mark ‘Mav’ Cottrill said it was a fantastic night.

“All the bands performed free of charge so we were able to give more to WACK,” he said.

“It’s a great event, both for its fundraising and for the reinvigoration of live bands in the Wimmera.

“We are already tossing ideas around for next year’s theme – people are welcome to get in touch with us on our Facebook page if they have any ideas.”

Local bands Limited Edition, Derailed, Fahrenheit and The Last Stand performed at the 1980s-themed event in September.
