Free online concert to say thank you for COVID response

A SMALL group of passionate locals from Greater Shepparton have come together to put on a virtual event – The Greater Shepparton ‘Unites in Voice’ Concert – which is to acknowledge and thank everyone in our community for its recent response to the COVID 19 outbreak.

The group of volunteers, headed up by Mooroopna’s Vicki Scott, has been touched by the strength of community spirit and wanted to do something to mark the achievement, and say thank you.

Vicki said “We have been congratulated by countless leaders around the country including the Prime Minister, but this is by community for community – and due to being online families and people with an interest/connection to Shepp can tune in.”

The concert, with headline act, Adam Thompson from Chocolate Starfish fame, Sam + Sam; Monga Mukasa, Jonathon Safari and Fortessima and other local artists, will be live streamed on Friday, October 8 from 7 pm to 9 pm via Facebook and Youtube.

“We will provide a couple of hours of free entertainment that people can enjoy in their own home/setting (COVID safe) so we hope everyone from near and far will join us and celebrate too,” Vicki said.
