New Caisey show provides a big pre-Valentine's treat

MUSIC lovers from all walks of life will be in for a pre-Valentine's Day treat as the Caisey Family Productions (CFP) will again take to the stage in their annual show, which will be held on February 12, at the City Hall Theatre.

CFP is a family enterprise formed with the aim of producing shows to benefit both individuals in need and charitable organisations.

Since 2001 CFP has produced seven successful events and last February was awarded the Drum Major Award in recognition of its contribution to the community.

One year later it hasn't missed a beat as the theme of this year's extravaganza is entitled The '60s, '70s and '80s. Those with a flair for "the retro" will definitely have something worth looking forward to.

Dubbed the first family of local entertainment, the Caiseys have spanned four generations of entertainers and over half a century's worth of talent and performing experience. Matriarch of the Caiseys, Mrs. June Caisey-Dill, was quoted as saying: "Those who are familiar with us are well aware this isn't a profit-making event. This is an opportunity for old friends to meet new friends and be like one happy family!"

Mrs. Caisey-Dill beamed with pride as she said the show would also have a blast from the past, but was mum about what the "surprise" will be. Also featured will be the Caisey Family Band, Singers and Dancers.

Proceeds from the show are going towards the purchase of a motorised vehicle for Steve (Bobby) Wilson, who has suffered from muscular dystrophy since 1996.

Showtime is at 4 p.m. Tickets are $30 and are available at Kit 'n' Caboodle and at the door.
