RM Showcase 2024

Richard was passionate about the performing arts and allowing people to grow and shine on stage.  Alex was the beneficiary of this encouragement, and now as a professional performer, he is committed to giving back to the Wimmera where it all started.

This is an event the whole family can enjoy at very reasonable price.  Do yourself a favour – grab a ticket and enjoy the abundance of talent on offer in the Wimmera.  You will not be disappointed!!!

The Roy Orbison Story

Mark Shelley is simply brilliant in his characterisation of Roy Orbison. He not only has the vocal range and tone to honour his songs, he also has the sensitivity & artistic ability to ‘be’ Roy.

You will find yourself believing you are in his presence, transported back in time, reliving the emotion of each of his songs and the stories of his life.

Without doubt, this is the definitive portrayal of Roy Orbison – the man, his music and his life.

Only the Lonely…….Running Scared…….Sweet Dream Baby…….Candy Man…….
Blue Bayou…….In Dreams…….Anything You Want…….Crying…….
Workin’ for the Man…….Penny Arcade…….Pretty Woman…….and many more…….

The ‘Big O’ stood head-and-shoulders above the rest, his vocals were peerless, his range extraordinary.  His songs unique, impassioned and personal. Orbison, the man, was enigmatic, driven, shy, funny and quietly charismatic.

From his initial success in the 1960s to the resurgence of his career in the 80s, Roy Orbison’s voice remained remarkable, communicating an emotional intensity not experienced in popular music before or since.  His songs conveyed vulnerability, love, loss and fun. His performance was unique, simple and powerful.

Orbison’s life was littered with personal tragedy and career highs and lows.  His wonderful resurgence in popularity in the late 80s through his legendary ‘Black & White Night’ Concert, his solo album ‘Mystery Girl’, and the formation of the Supergroup ‘The Traveling Wilburys’ was a fitting final chapter for such a creative genius.
