15.01.2022 Finding a photo of our illustrious director for our Saturday Live Music and Cabaret shows, Sean Vandenberg (@rideronthesun/@rideronthesunfilms) for his birthday has proven very tricky, as he is always buzzing around, working behind the scenes and never standing still enough to pose for a shot! HOWEVER! Thanks to @notaprodigy and @peter.rubie we managed to find a couple where the back of his head is at least featured! Happy birthday mate! Your work at The Reservoir Room has been absolutely stellar and we have loved having you! What a star! #theresroom

14.01.2022 "What a class act this is! As James Corden has proved in the United States, performers can make brilliant hosts of variety television. Both Catherine Alcorn and Rodger Corser are all class knowledgeable, warm and cheeky. The Reservoir Room has given artists something very rare during this strange time exposure and income albeit from a distance." ... - Stage Whispers http://www.stagewhispers.com.au/reviews/friday-night-live

12.01.2022 We want to give a shout out to Support Act who were a big supporter of here at The Res Room. We all know that times are tough in the music industry. Many of us were the first to lose our jobs and our income, and our sector could well be the last to recover. Jobkeeper and Jobseeker are keeping many of us alive, but in some cases it is still not enough. If you need help to pay the rent/mortgage, or your electricity, car rego, medical expenses or kids school fees, you can apply for a Crisis Relief Grant from Support Act. These are not arts grants and they are not competitive. If you meet the criteria, they will pay agreed bills on your behalf. They are keen to help so check out their website to learn more. https://supportact.org.au/get-help-2/
