THE TOP OF THE TOWN CHARITY BALL IS AGAIN COMING TO HAMILTON ON OCTOBER 16TH 2010

The third Top of the Town Charity Ball will have people rocking the night away when the mighty Band made of  Wilbur Wilde, Joe Camilleri, Russell Morris and Wendy Stapleton,  blow the lid off the place and make people laugh and dance the night away.

This awesome foursome  will demonstrate the enormous  talent that has seen each of them find success in their own right when they play two one hour sets  "that will feature hit after recognizable hit performed by these fun-loving professionals who wrote most of them." Wilbur said.

Wilbur Wilde known not only for his regular performances on Hey Hey its Saturday, but also as an incredibly talented musician and entertainer in his own right will lead the group  He is joined by  Joe Camilleri, an icon of  the Australian music industry and known as the voice behind The Black Sorrows and such songs as "Harley and Rose". 

Wendy Stapleteon renowned for her leading role in "I only want to be with you - the Dusty Springfield Story" and a vibrant addition to any stage performance will be there as will Russell Morriss one of Australia's most enduring singers, a major pop star in the sixties with such massive hits as "The Real Thing".  This is just some of the quality of entertainment our guests will receive on the night.

Set on the shores of beautiful Lake Hamilton, our guests will be enthralled when they arrive by the carnival atmosphere that will lead them up to the Grand Marquee.  There they will be wined and dined by Hamilton's finest Chefs and Sommeliers, entertained by four of Australias best loved musicians and watch the night sky light up with a fantastic pyrotechnic display.

A short auction of quailty items will take place following the main course. Holidays, Motorbikes, Jewellery and even a Pizza oven are just some of the fabulous goods our generous sponsors have donated. For a full list of Auction items follow the link to the Charity Auction page.
