Jimmy Barnes tribute act comes to Keilor

Locals looking for an afternoon of classic tunes, great food and good vibes can head to a music festival in Keilor this month.

Keilor Bowls and Community Club will host a ‘day on the green’ event, which is sure to get local music lovers grooving along to the greatest Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes hits.

Keilor Bowls Club social media and community director Lisa Dillon said it’s the club’s first time hosting the event.

“We don’t have a lot of local music festivals…Hopefully we can make it an annual event,” Ms Dillon said.

“We’re actually ripping up the green. If it gets damaged it doesn’t matter too much.”

The festival will be headlined by Soul Chisel, a Jimmy Barnes tribute band, which is fronted by Keilor local Steve Callanan.

“It’s going to be an eight-piece band with brass instruments,” Ms Dillon said.

“We’re going to invite some other local talent to entertain too.”

There will be food available to purchase as well as full bar service on the day.

“Come and spend a day on the green. Enjoy local music, local talent with the local community,” Ms Dillon said.

The Keilor Bowls and Community Club ‘a day on the green’ event will run from 2-7pm on Sunday 21 December at 2 Mercedes Street, Keilor.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs or blankets to sit on.

Tickets are $50 per person with kids under 16 years of age free to attend.
