Sun. Dec. 20, 2009 – Save Peregian Originals Rally

Looks like the Council have reconsidered – see  Mayor moves to save Originals

Important: thanks to all of you and our great collective effort, both Councillor Green and Mayor Bob Abbot have stepped forward to seek a positive resolution to the issue. Councillor Green has indicated he would like to attend our event this Sunday. I call on each and every one of you to behave respectfully toward Councillor Green, Mayor Bob Abbot, and anyone else from Council who joins us on the day – Jay

The Sunshine Coast Regional Council has stated that Peregian Originals will not be able to continue in its current form in its existing location in the park behind the Peregian Beach Surf Club after this Sunday. It intends to force organisers to move the event to different venues around the region.

Everyone still invited So the organisers of Peregian Originals have invited all to a forum/rally/concert to help save Peregian Originals.

Concert will include a peaceful one hour forum/rally, featuring key speakers from the community to send a strong message to Council that the people’s ‘show must go on’ where it has been cultivated and where it continues to peacefully thrive at Peregian Beach.

Everyone is encouraged to arrive early on a day that will see Peregian town teeming with life, and wherever possible locals are encouraged to use alternative forms of transportation and to utilise the free parking space across David Low Way to ease parking on the day.

Sat. Dec. 19, 2009 – Blues at Palmwood’s Pub

Three live bands and a great crowd. No cover charge and drinks are reasonably priced. Starts at 5.30 pm and continues to around mid-night.

Tom Richardson – one of the most popular young artists ever to perform at Palmwoods. His latest cd release “Evolution” is receiving airplay across the country and Toms ever widening reputation sees him packing the “joint” wherever he goes. The dreads and lap slide guitar are almost de rigueur these days for Australian roots artists but Tom is something else again…. See More

Website – www.myspace.com/tomrichardsonmusic

Asa Broomhall – another of the Palmwoods hotels favourite regulars. When he’s not on the road or in the studio of course. Both of which, he’s been doing more and more these days. He’ll be back this time with his rockin’ trio playing tracks from his new release “Revelry Road”; fresh from a couple of shows in Sydney with Diesel and this just sets the scene for this month’s headliner

Website – www.myspace.com/asabroomhall

Ray Beadle – first came to the attention of Australia’s blues loving public when he was asked to join iconic Australian blues outfit, “The Foreday Riders” at the age of 13. In the years that have followed, Ray’s enormous talent has seen him travel to the US for month long residencies at BB Kings Blues Club in Memphis, recordings with harmonica wiz Mark Sallings and in 2008, a much talked about appearance at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Ray’s third release “Loaded” has only recently been released and documents the continued expansion of the monumental talent of this young man not yet 30yrs old. A hotshot guitar player certainly, but Ray’s wonderful songwriting and souldeep singing are what enable this young man to stand apart from the rest
