With musical director Susan Cleverley at the helm, the group offered hits from through the decades from notable names including The Beatles, The Mamas & The Papas and Abba.

Museum president Jack Dickenson and Margaret Sheaves took to the stage to perform a skit, while Ken Clark's rendition of 'Where Did You Get That Hat?' and Val Baber's 'Waiting at the Church' proved crowd favourites.

Tracey Chubb and Peter Skelton also performed solos, with Ms Cleverley reverting to the keyboard at times.

With such a large turnout, Mr Dickenson said the night is expected to raise a great total for both the Bega District Hospital oncology department's wig library and the Eden Singers.

"We've got this wonderful building here and we thought we'd adopt a charity and put on a few events to put something extra back into the community this year," he said.

"This is the community's building - we just look after it and manage it for everyone to enjoy.

"A number of us on the committee have been affected by cancer, and we know the effect that chemotherapy has.

"The wigs they have at the wig library are just a small way of helping the ladies who lose their hair."
