SECOND comes right after first.

 

Moe Racing Club will hold a twilight meeting this Friday, headlined by Shannon Noll, who will perform live after the last race.

 

The meeting will see eight races held for the Ian Grant’s Caravans Twilight Christmas Party Races.

 

Noll has been booked to provide entertainment, and is set to rock the racing club with hit songs including ‘What About Me’, ‘Lift’ and ‘Drive’.

 

What About Me was the highest selling single of 2004 in Australia.

 

Noll came to prominence after getting his start on the first series of reality television series Australian Idol, becoming something of a cult hero for being the famous runner-up to Guy Sebastian.

 

Like Steven Bradbury before him, his story has entered the Australian vernacular, often colloquially associated with someone who has supposedly been ‘robbed’ of an award.

 

In more recent years, social media posts by Noll were the subject of running gags by people taking the proverbial in the comments section.

 

Now that he is set to land in Moe, the singer-songwriter could well be the biggest name the town has welcomed for quite some time.

It has been very busy times at Moe Racing Club recently, with the club hosting five meetings in the last six weeks.
