Team Aussie Rock.
A Redlands Variety Bash team is holding a Retro Disco at the Grand View Hotel in Cleveland on Saturday, April 18, with all profits going to Variety – the Children’s Charity.
Since 2009, the team has raised over $680,000 for the kids with their iconic Aussie Rock bash car. And this year, they’ll continue to make some serious noise!
The car is a 1978 Ford Fairlane with a number of modifications to cope with the tough outback roads, but it’s the 4,000w sound system on the roof that the team is best known for.
“The music can project up to a kilometre down the road, so when we make an entrance at a remote school or small outback town, everyone knows we are coming before they can see the car,” said owner Steve Whittam. “Our motto is: You’ll hear us before you see us!”
The Grand View Hotel has hosted musical events like the Great Aussie Rock Afternoon and the Retro Disco for Variety since 2017, helping the Aussie Rock team raise over $77,000 and provide wheelchairs and other mobility equipment to local Redlands families.
The Retro Disco will be a fun event, and guests are encouraged to dress up; prizes will be awarded for singles, couples, groups, etc. There will be great dance music from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, with DJ Stu and his saxophone as highlights for singing along.
Bring your friends, have fun and support kids who need help. Tickets are $20, and you can book yours via the Grand View Hotel website.
