Eurovision craze to hit Bunbury as BREC hosts quiz night in support of Voyager

Bunbury is set to embrace the theatricality and craziness of the Eurovision Song Contest this weekend as the Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre gears up to host a special quiz night.

Taking place on Saturday, BREC’s Eurovision Quiz night is set to test people’s knowledge on the international song contest with plenty of fun to be had on the night.

Hosted by Triple M breakfast presenter Angie Ayers, people will be challenged in various rounds comprising questions about Eurovision, the countries that have participated in the contest, as well as a round dedicated to Perth-based progressive metal band and this year’s Australian representatives, Voyager.

It comes as BREC throws its support behind Bunbury local and Voyager member Ashley Doodkorte, who has jetted to Europe in preparation for the contest, where they will perform Promise, a synth/progressive pop metal offering that tells an emotive story of adventure and redemption.

BREC executive director Fiona de Garis said it was exciting to see one of BREC’s crew gain such a significant international platform.

“It’s just so unusual that you get to see an artist really achieving their big dream which is always finding the biggest platform or the most effective way to share their art with other people,” she said.

“It’s really, really wonderful to have a Western Australian band up there and the other thing that is quite remarkable about Voyager’s story is that they are effectively an independent band.

“Getting those little insights from having Ash in our office is just so fascinating.”
