Captain Nemo’s Roger Braun hosted his annual Live & Local Lunch on 1 December at Ioesco recently and it was a raging success.
Hosted by Spida Everett, guests enjoyed a smorgasboard of talent kicking of with the undeniably amazing duo of Robby and Lee Kernaghan. Amazing to hear this entertainment powerhouse up close and personal with Robby X topping off the entertainment set with her cover version of Flowers by Miley Cyrus.
Many guests were enthralled by Wayne Bennett Supercoach of the NRL Dolphins as he regaled them with stories of his past experiences and hope for the future. As described by himself, we were fortunate, unlike many journalists, that the talkative and open Wayno Bennett attendee as opposed to Wayne Bennet whom as a rule attends game related media conferences.
Ioesco absolutely outdid themselves with stunning food and beverage couple with second to none service. One word – amazing!
Auction and raffle items throughout the lunch kept the crowd rivetted and supported the Charitable element of the event raising a total of $30,000 for Complete Men, a charity supporting men’s mental health.
And finally Greg Ritchie bought the house down with his quick with and comedic set to round the event off.
A testament to the success of the event was demonstrated with a large portion of the crowd making an afternoon of the event with live music on the deck outside Ioesco.
Enormous thanks to all that supported the event, it was “Simply the best!”
