The Corner Hotel Hosts Grand Final Eve Fundraiser for Kids with Cancer

I’ll be honest with you, I don’t “get” AFL. I was raised on rugby league, so perhaps it’s just not in my genes. So when I heard The Corner Hotel was throwing a Grand Final Holiday Eve party, I nearly deleted the press release. But then I spotted that the event has some kickarse bands and it’s raising funds for kids with cancer. That’s the sort of stuff you just can’t ignore.

The Great Rock ‘n Roll Pie Night features entertainment from Dallas Crane, Chris Russell’s Chicken Walk, The Draught Dodgers feat. Tim Rogers, The Pretty Littles, and You Am I’s Davey Lane as guest DJ. Warwick Capper will MC the event which raises funds for the Challenge Organisation, Victoria’s first organisation providing support and recreational opportunities for families living with cancer.

Get behind the Challenge Organisation and enjoy some superb music and pies at the Corner Hotel on September 28. Tickets are on sale now.

Vanessa Amorosi Scores AFL Theme Song

Expect to see a lot more of Vanessa Amorosi this year. Not content with just being the face of Calvin Klein, Vanessa will also sing the theme for the 2008 AFL season.

The music video for her song “Start It” was filmed recently at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Vanessa loves Aussie Rules and is a keen Hawthorn Hawks supporter.

All this publicity couldn’t have come at a better time for Vanessa. Her new album Somewhere in the Real World will hit stores on March 17.
