Sayer and Farnham in Williamstown

BRITISH rock star Leo Sayer and Rob Farnham (son of John) are among big names in the music industry set to perform in Williamstown next weekend.

Farnham will join dual-ARIA award winner Monique Brumby and Sunshine singer Daniela Corso in a ground-breaking acoustic concert at the Williamstown RSL next Friday night, August 10. The event will raise money to help youth worker Les Twentyman and his team continue their work with street kids and disadvantaged families in the West.

And on Saturday night, August 11, Leo Sayer will headline a sell-out Last Night of the Proms concert at the Williamstown Town Hall. Sayer, who has settled in Australia, will perform on a bill that includes the Western Region Concert Band, Rosa McCarty, SingWest and a special guest artist.

Williamstown's Doug Heywood (Carols By Candlelight) will conduct the concert band in the town hall concert.

Sunshine singer Daniela Corso persuaded Farnham, who has been working and recording in the United States, and Tasmanian-born Brumby to perform in the RSL show to raise money for the 20th Man Fund, which supports youth and needy families in the West.

“It will be an honour to share the stage with two talents like Monique Brumby and Rob Farnham to support youth and struggling families in the West,” said Corso, who will be accompanied by guitarist George Chris, with whom she has co-written many of her songs.

Corso, who grew up in Albion, was a finalist in the recent musicoz awards for unsigned artists.

All three artists performing at the RSL will perform original numbers from their recent releases.

The Williamstown RSL live acoustic event has drawn support from the Way Out West blues and roots music club, which regularly hosts international and Australia rock and blues legends at the popular licensed club. Admission to the event will be $15, with doors open from 7pm.

One Night Only...Rob Farnham,DAniela Corso & Monique Brumby Supporting The 20th Man Fund Charity

Farnham and Monique Brumby join Daniela for a cause


SUNSHINE singer-songwriter Daniela Corso has enlisted the aid of some big names in the music industry to help the work veteran youth worker Les Twentyman does in the West.
Rob Farnham (son of Australian icon John) and dual ARIA award-winner Monique Brumby will join Corso for a night of live music at the Williamstown RSL on Friday, August 10. They aim to raise money for the 20th Man Fund, which helps struggling families and youths at risk.

The acoustic concert already has support from the Way Out West blues and roots music club, which regularly attracts leading Australian and overseas acts to the popular RSL.

“It's an honour to be sharing the stage alongside two great Australian talents and raising money for a cause that helps so many disadvantaged youths and families in the western suburbs,” Corso said.

The local artist, who grew up in Albion, will be accompanied by guitarist George Chris, performing many of the songs they have written together.

Rob Farnham, who began playing in bands as a 17-year-old, is following in his famous dad's footsteps as he pursues a solo career. He said his dad has backed him all the way.
“He is my hero, he is my dad and my singing idol. To have his support means a lot to me,”
Farnham will perform songs from an EP he has recorded in the United States and Melbourne.

Monique Brumby has established herself as one of Australia's premier recording artists and songwriters, winning two ARIA awards and recording five albums. She has toured Australia and the U.S. with The Bangles, Jeff Buckley and The Stranglers, and Don McLean. She has written songs with Paul Kelly and Rob Hirst of Midnight Oil. She will be a big drawcard at the Williamstown fundraiser.

Monique Brumby and Daniela Corso recently shared the stage at Federation Square to raise money for breast cancer research and awareness.

ENTRY will be $15 for the big night of live music at Williamstown RSL.
