On stage will be several bands from within the club’s membership, all playing in support of Wavelength, an exciting four-piece band from Northam.

Wavelength play a traditional Aussie fusion of country, blues and rock and roll and at least two members of the band have toured internationally with well known stars of the rock world.

Music club chairperson Mark Pawlak said calling the show The Drought is Over has backfired on the club.

“We started planning this back in June when the whole place was drier than a Methodist picnic, with little prospect of rain at all,” he said.

“No sooner had we printed the posters than the heavens opened and the much needed rain brought a bit of a spring back to many people’s step.

“The aim of the night is to provide entertainment to as broad an age range as possible.

“It is certainly not just a night for the youngsters.

A fully stocked bar will be available as will a soft drinks and snacks counter.

“There will be some seating at tables as well as an open space for dancing or just standing and cheering.”

The show will begin with a short set by local Merredin rockers Alkaline Overload.

“These guys, Chase Holland and Michael Wahlsten on guitar and vocals, Tim Crogan on drums and Shane Lapworth on bass guitar, are rapidly becoming a polished act and are developing a fan base of their own,” Mr Pawlak said.

“They will be followed by the club band, MMC Inc, featuring Dave Attard on bass, Steve Elliott on guitar and vocals, Dennis Heffernan on drums, Reg Langford on guitar and vocals and myself on guitar.

“MMC Inc will be joined for the second half of their set by Merredin’s rising singing star, Rebecca Siddons, whose clear, melodic singing voice is reminiscent of a 21st century Joan Baez.

“This will be her debut at the Cummins Theatre.”

Wavelength will take to the stage and will play a mixture of their own material and classics from the rock and roll archive.

The band released its first CD Sidestreet Café, in May and it has been selling well.

Their blues influenced style of rock and roll, with just a hint of country will appeal to many who like the Australian pub rock genre.

Mr Pawlak said Wavelength is an accomplished outfit and the club is excited to be hosting them.

Tickets are on sale from the theatre, Eziway Foodstore Merredin and club members for $10 and $5 concessions. Doors open at 7pm and the bar will be open until midnight.
