To avoid Anzac Day long weekend
with people going away

    As we were unable to gain access to the original TVW studios one last time, the management of the Moon and Sixpence kindly made their venue available for past and present Seven staff and partners to conduct a Wake-Reunion to commemorate the 55 years of television that emanated from the old studios at Dianella.

    Here are a few images to show this delightful spot in Perth, that is close to a number of city car parks, not far from the bus terminals and near the underground train station in William Street.

Entertainment will be provided by Perth’s King of Swing – Donald King.

   Here is a brief outline of Don’s many achievements, which are much too long to list here in full.

    Don toured the world as an entertainer, in the U.S., London, Paris, and South East Asia.

    In Perth, Don, in conjunction with a contemporary, the late comedian Don Martin, Re-opened “La Riviera Theatre Restaurant” in Como, and turned it in to the place to go on Friday and Saturday nights in Perth. After a two year run, the business was sold to Peter Harries, and renamed the Knight Klub. Don and Peter continue to work together, entertaining all and sundry when the occasion arises.

    His career has also blossomed as a Master of Ceremonies, with a commanding presence, and voice, working with such luminaries as John Denver, Robert Palmer, Harry Secombe, Vera Lynn, and Frank Sinatra, to name but a few.

    Don has appeared in the T.V. Show “Sunny Side Up”, as a singer, and as an actor in the T.V. Series Falcon Island, Kicking Around, and “Jackeroo”, and in the major film “Harlequin”, as well as many television commercials.

    1980 saw Don as the Entertainment Director of “El Caballo Blanco”, and in the role of Compere of the Dancing Horses show for Two years.

    Don continues to work as an entertainer in Perth, especially as a Singer of the standards made famous by Nat King Cole, Billy Ecstine, Tony Bennett, and especially, his hero, Frank Sinatra. Don recently (2005) recorded a C.D. titled Swing Easy, in the Sound Studio at Channel Nine Perth, and in 2010, Swing Romantic, in a private sound studio run by Jamie Harries. These contain some Sinatra favourites, and other standards.
