The special reunion of The Echoes saw many die-hard fans and music enthusiasts alike grooving well past midnight to raise money for the Griffith Base Hospital.

With the event a sell-out, the final result raised over $10,000 to go towards new hospital equipment.

One of the organisers Gary Purcell said it was a fantastic night, with the response “overwhelming.”

“We have had such good feedback from everyone we’ve spoken to,” Mr Purcell said.

“People have been already asking when we are having the next event, so you never know, it may happen again.”

Echoes members Bill Calabria, Gary Signor, Colin Burns, Joe Casella, Tony Parker, Pat Catanzariti and Phil Jones are playing for the first time in over 50 years to support the hospital, and were sad to miss Alex Vion, and Joe Portolesi, who had passed on.

Tony Parker traveled from Tamworth with Col Burns also travelling all the way from the South Coast especially for the event.

The 3 Tiers with members John Holsworth, Ruth Overs and Anita Moore also donated their time on the evening, and had everyone rocking to well-known anthems.

The reunion was put together by Kerrie Horton and Denise Purcell, who sparked the idea and started planning last year, and whose hard work saw it all come to fruition, with promotion, ticket collection and seating organisation.

Other musicians include Peter Smith from The Glentones, as well as a variety of old and new music from Matt Purcell, Jacinta Dickins, along with many others.

Organisers also wish to thank all of the Griffith sponsors who helped make the night a huge success, in particular Eli Horton from Dolce Films for the graphics, Elizabeth Calabria in conjunction with Eli for the Posters on the night and AXIKEM.
