CLUB Acoustic at Maleny RSL was packed last Thursday night (February 6) as the community turned out in force to support drumming and dance group Mama Buluka in their bid to attend the National Folk Festival.
Event organiser Jacinta Foale said she was overwhelmed by the response, with over $2,000 raised through door, raffles and food sales. “We were absolutely blown away by the talent of our performers, and generosity of the Maleny community,” she said. The funds will go towards van hire and accommodation to get 12 performers and 16 drums to Canberra for the Easter festival. Mama Buluka’s high-energy performances have made them a crowd favourite, and Thursday’s fundraiser was no exception. See our social pictures page 9.
