Good Friday Concert Shows:
Justine Clarke, from Play School
Family favourite and bestselling children’s entertainer Justine Clarke will be launching her new children’s album on 2nd April 2010 at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Justine will be performing a selection of songs from ‘Great Big World’, her third album - which features 15 brand new songs that the whole family will love.
The Bananas in Pyjamas
That loveable fun-loving twosome, the Bananas in Pyjamas will be up to their usual tricks this year at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. B1 and B2 have put together a show called ‘All Join In!” consisting of some of their most loved nursery rhymes and a selection of their all time favourite hit songs. This dynamic pair of yellow fruit is more than just pyjama wearing trickers, they can actually sing and dance! This show is sure to delight both young and old, as it is vibrant, upbeat and in true banana style: very entertaining!
Roary the Racing Car
“Mechanico Fantastico” is the new turbo charged concert from the children’s television sensation Roary the Racing Car. See all the thrills and spills of the race track come to life in this high octane mixture of fun, emotion, music and mayhem - all driven by environmentally friendly bio-fuel of course! This show explores the adventures of Roary, a bright red single seater racing car and his loveable group of friends, including karaoke singing mechanic Big Chris and his garage assistants Spark and Plug. Roary’s enthusiasm and curiosity often lead him into trouble along the way, but he’s a novice with a heart of chrome, and teaches the children to always do your best and keep trying no matter what. Concert overview is available here.
