TAFN Talent Night 2015
Once again we’re calling on all TAFN’s jokesters, actors and musicians to take part in TAFN’s next Talent Night, which, if past Talent Nights are anything to go by, is shaping up to be something pretty memorable.
It takes place on February 28th and everyone whose light we really can’t drag from under its bushel is invited to come along for an evening of variety and entertainment.
Contact genial hosts
John and Sandra for details or to submit your entry or entries, which can either be recorded or live performances.
