fire up for origin babies!

Only a few weeks until State of Origin … and if you are too poor/lazy/unlucky/geographically inconvenienced to go and see the first game in Melbourne, then you have have have to know about this.

Our favourite radio superstars, Brett Oaten and Steven Ferris, will be doing a LIVE broadcast of Fire Up! on the night from the Alexandria Hotel. It’s also a fundraiser for FBi, so if you love good radio, then it’s definitely worth your while.

Here are the deets straight from Oaten’s typing fingers:

In the tradition of “The Rumble In The Jungle” and “The Thriller In Manilla” it is with great excitement that I announce “The Slander In Alexandria”.

Yes, the rumours are true, “Fire Up” is going live on the night of State of Origin 1 (Wednesday 3rd June) at the Alexandria Hotel in Sydney to raise money for our beloved home, FBI 94.5 FM.

The night is sure to be a winner and will include some combination of the following:

(a) a live “Fire Up” show (of some kind);

(b) State of Origin on The Big Screen (I’ve seen it – it’s definitely big, and I live in the Shire, so I’ve seen some big TVs);

(c) “Fire Up” trivia and prizes;

(d) musical performances from “Fire Up” luminaries;

(e) beer.

Tickets are $25 or $20 for FBI members. All proceeds to FBI. Tickets are limited to 100 people only. Thanks to the Alexandria Hotel for accommodating us & to us for having the idea in the first place. Ticketing info will follow in the next day or so, but you can register your interest by emailing your name and number to fireup@fbiradio.com

SEE YA THERE, KITTENS! (And wear blue or we won’t speak to you).
