Concept Music WA Celebrates 35th Anniversary with Genorosity

Concept Music in Wembley, WA is celebrating its 35th Anniversary. Many activities and promotions are planned, including specially minted products. But the celebrations got off to a huge start with a sell out  Rock Quiz & Charity Auction. It was a sold out event with 180 people attending & the night became a real celebrity affair when it was announced comedian Peter Rowsthorn was to be the surprise guest compere. Rowsthorn, of Kath & Kim and Thank God You’re Here fame, had the had the audience in stitches all night with his quips & stories.
