The 2018 grand finale winner Louis Burt will also be performing on the day at 1pm, showcasing the songs he has recorded with club's prize last year. He won two tracks fully produced and 500 CDs for him to use to promote his career.
"It is a perfect opportunity for local talent to come along and test their skills and perhaps walk away with prize money and a trophy," said Reg's wife Ros Lindsay, who now runs Reg Lindsay Promotions.
It is sure to be a wonderful family day with excellent talent and perhaps a superstar in the making.
