Entertainer Brian Letton will take to the stage of the Rendelsham Community Hall on February 17.

It is the first live music concert at Rendelsham since 2019 as such touring performers were grounded due to COVID protocols.

Tickets for the $25 per head evening concert are available at the door or by phoning Lyn Brooks on 0427 354240.

Mr Letton received a warm reception when he last played at Rendelsham seven years ago.

Born in Port Lincoln, he was raised on his parents’ farming property at Ravensthorpe in Western Australia.

After leaving school, he worked on the land for several years before moving to Katanning – 300km from Perth.

Over the next few years Mr Letton worked at several jobs, including builder, welder, truck driver, farrier, horse breaker and trainer, with the latter bringing him noted success in the harness racing industry, both as a trainer and a reins person.

Mr Letton was an exceptional sportsman excelling at Aussie Rules football.

In 1989, he began his professional career as a full time entertainer, after a decade working as a part-time musician with various local bands.

Over the past 34 years, Mr Letton has achieved great success as both a concert and recording artist.

Meanwhile, Wattle Range Council has allocated funds to upgrade the Rendelsham Community Hall ahead of its centenary next year.
