I am writing in support of Phillip Chalker.
Phillip has been involved in Wild@heART’s Club Wild disability community arts activities for the past 5 years. During that time, Phill has participated in workshops, performed at Club Wild events, run karaoke sessions and participated in event design and preparation.

Phill is currently involved in establishing Club Wild in his local area of Gippsland, in the Baw Baw and Latrobe local government areas. Phill has a strong entrepreneurial ability to generate business and community ideas. He has a good feel for his "community" and their interests and he has a strong capacity for networking and promoting these ideas. He has taken great initiative in contacting
organizations that share common goals with Club Wild and promoting our work and crosspromotion of our activities. He has done this through music, videos, radio, print media, TV, phone, email and online.

Phill has handled money and done banking for club wild. Phill is also a talented performer. He has sung and played guitar, and MC-ed, at Club Wild’s dance party events, included as a member of the Club Wild Allstars band and has performed at other disability organisations and events through out Victoria. With Club Wild’s support, Phill has run Karaoke sessions as part of our major dance party events.

Phill demonstrates great energy for his performances and a strong commitment to developing a professional standard of stagecraft.
Phill has recently taken the initiative to record his own CD of covers and originals songs which he is actively promoting in his day to day work and through his Chalkers Performances website. He also plays as part of acoustic duo the Latrobe Boys.
Phill is very keen to succeed in the music industry including studies at TAFE. I am sure he will achieve this with his own initiative and the right support and training.

I recommend Phill for his enthusiasm, innovative ideas and his initiative. Given a supportive and structured work environment Phill’s skills and energy will be a great asset.

Yours truly

"Phillip Chalker performed an impromptu "birthday gig" whilst he was out busking on Friday 31st July, 2009, in Warragul, consisting of "Happy Birthday" and then some of his work. It was original and very entertaining. Very much enjoyed the original song "Lost in the Desert of Australia".

Thank you Phillip Chalker (and Kransky) for an unexpected and awesome start to my birthday this year, much appreciated!"

Phil Chalker was a great act for our Pink Day Fundraiser for Breast Cancer. Given that we are a centre for adults with disabilities, it was hugely special to have such a wonderful entertainer come and entertain our clients, friends and staff.

Hello Phillip,

Just sending you some feedback on the performance you did on 16th October at Haven Primary School, Horsham. The children all really loved the performance. It was great to see them getting up and joining in with the karaoke and dance. Your final song was very touching and there were quite a few of the older children who were obviously moved by your performance. The children like hearing about your life and how Kransky helps you to get around.

A very lively performance, thankyou.

From the staff at Haven Primary school.

Hey Phill. Love your web site - congratulations. Your performances are always a buzz. You always know how to get a laugh out of your audience. Keep up the good work. Hope to see you performing again soon.
