3rd October 2009 - Innisfail Shire Hall
Geoff Yelaska and The Crew
with Phil Emmanuel
The refurbished Innisfail Shire Hall (below) once again rocked to the sounds of local 60's group "The Crew" with Geoff Yelaska, Cecil Anderson, Bob Harris and Neville Wallace performing with Phil Emmanuel for another fund raiser for the Cancer Foundation. 2009's Innisfail entrant for "Nurse of the year" was Yana Jones
The first charity concert in 1995 saw a record breaking attendance unequalled in the shire hall's history. The nostalgia and memories of the good old dance days of the 60's, were just too good to miss - they came from everywhere.
Cyclone Larry Benefit Concert
When Geoff's hometown of Innisfail was devastated by Cyclone Larry in 2006, it so happened, John Bromell (former manager of Warner Chappell Music) was residing at Geoff's place at Mothar Mountain, Gympie. At the same time, Geoff's company, Mecano Sheds were having talks with the Endeavour Foundation about the distribution of sheds in Innisfail. When the cyclone unexpectedly struck, John Bromell quickly offered to organise a charity concert through the Endeavour Foundation, in the hope that a lot of his musical buddies that he had signed up previously would help out. The first calls he made were to Lee Kernaghan and Troy Casser-Daly. It wasn't long before the rest of the stars came out. Graeme Connors, Sara Storer. Phil and Geoff had the privilege of opening the concert and thanks to John's contacts in the music industry; the result was a resounding success.
