Star Power: Tim Campbell in full voice.
JOHN VAN KLAVEREN
POPULAR star of stage and screen Tim Campbell will headline a Geelong Mayoral Ball to raise money for hospital children’s wards.
Best known as Dan Barker on Home and Away and as the lead role of Johnny O’Keefe in the reprised musical of Shout! The Legend of the Wild One, Tim has also appeared in a plethora of Australian and US television series.
He regularly performs at Carols by Candlelight, Carols in the Domain and the Good Friday Appeal.
Campbell has also fronted television’s Celebrity Singing Bee and was part of the popular 2007 series of Dancing With the Stars.
“I’m thrilled to have Tim Campbell on board as MC of the mayoral ball,” Mayor John Mitchell said.
“He’s a brilliant entertainer who is certain to have the whole audience engaged. Tim will make sure everyone has a great time.
“Plus, his band will be performing, too, so he’ll no doubt have everyone up and dancing.”
All funds from the ball will go to Geelong Hospital’s children’s ward and St John of God Hospital’s special care nursery.
Promoters said the evening included an auction with a variety of items “to suit all tastes and budgets”.
The mayoral ball will be at Geelong Arena on August 20.
Tickets cost $120 from City of Greater Geelong customer service centres or online at www.geelongaustralia.com.au.
