Expressions of interest for Fisher’s Gig heats 2015 are now open, giving local performers the chance to nominate themselves to be part of the selection heats for this year’s gig.
Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr Paul Lake, said Fisher’s Gig was a drawcard event that had earned a reputation for launching the careers of up and coming young local musicians.
