The Crossley 'Fifteen Minutes of Fame' event on May 3 will feature performances from the likes of acoustic vocal pair Tru North Duo, folk singer-songwriter, poet and visual artist Breckin, award-winning blues singer Andrea Robertson and contemporary folk rock outfit The Chosen Few.

Renowned singer-songwriter Bruce Campbell will be also performing some original 'Earth' songs, inspired by people and the planet to the tune of environmental sustainability.

The fundraising family variety concert aims to give artists the chance to perform to a receptive audience, with all profits supporting the community ownership of St Brigid's.

"It's been going for over six years, and while it's primarily a fundraiser for the Crossley church and community hall, for me as someone actively involved in music, it gives acts the chance to perform to a live audience," organiser Russ Goodear said.

"We get an amazing variety of performers, from bands, soloists, duos, comedians and even magicians.

"It's a great opportunity for people who are starting out, and people who might be coming back and trying new materials or styles. It's been amazing to see acts grow and develop.

"It's also a bit of a return to the good old days of live performance in an era where social media and live streaming has somewhat taken over."

For the Lim and Gillie sisters, from Woodford and Mailors Flat, the 15 Minutes of Fame event gave them a platform to try out their 1940s harmonies act The Sisters.

"Our first performance was 15 Minutes of Fame, and since then we've been getting a lot of gigs through it," The Sisters singer Sarah Lim said.

"It's a really encouraging environment to go and get your name out there."

Attendees can enjoy hot baked spuds with fillings of choice for dinner, followed by an array of desserts, coffee, tea and cakes, courtesy of the Friends of St Brigid's catering team.

Doors open 6pm for dinner at 6.30pm and a 7.30pm start.
