Do not miss The Galvatrons paying at the Benalla College Hall Faithfull Street Campus. Lots of events at the Benalla Art Gallery to see. Plenty of cricket and tennis to watch. Benalla Festival Friday has a lot to offer.
The band featuring Benalla's very own Pete and Robert Convery had their first taste of mainstream success with the release of their debut single "When we were kids". The band has since gone on to tour in the UK and have supported acts such as Cheap Trick, Def Leppard and Wendy Matthews. It is will be an honour to see these boys back in their home town and supporting the Benalla Festival.
All other bands included in the line up for the night feature members who have grown up in Benalla, so it is fantastic to see all these ex Benalla College and FCJ kids return home. So please come along and show your support to these kids.
