Caloundra International ATP Challenger 2012
Caloundra Tennis Club
Cnr Arthur St & Bowman Rd Caloundra
All the International players love playing in Caloundra with over 80 players from 21 different countries competing in the recent 2011 Caloundra International Challenger, because it was easily accessible with both Brisbane International and Sunshine Coast airports within an hours' drive, with tournament accommodation right on the beach and great weather.

Tennis Australia and Caloundra International officials decided for the very first time to host an ATP Challenger "Official Draw" on the beach. Bulcock Beach was a picture perfect location and was a special moment for wild card entry Thomas Muster (former world No.1) who said "He was happy to get an entry into his first ever Tennis Tournament on the Sunshine Coast tournament despite being a resident for close to 10 years."

1927 - 20TH ANNIVERSARY ‘ISH’ CELEBRATION
Joe’s Waterhole
Eumundi
It's been 20 years since the Australian band 1927 burst on to the scene with their debut album, selling half a million copies in Australia.

Featuring the hit singles ‘That’s s When I Think Of You€�, If I Could€�, You’ll Never Know€� and  Compulsory Hero the album’s success was also attributed to well crafted music videos and a relentless touring schedule. Starting out playing pubs and bars around Sydney’s northern beaches, the band soon performed to arena-sized crowds, even crossing the shores to the UK. 
A number of Awards were collected along the way including ARIA Awards in 1989 for Breakthrough Artist album (ISH) and single (That’s When I Think Of You€�). The video for Compulsory Hero won an ARIA award for Best Video, the following year.
Fronted by singer, Eric Weideman, it was founding member and guitarist, Garry Frost who contributed his writing talents to much of the album. Prior to 1927, Garry had a proven track record for penning a hit song or two. As guitarist with 80's Australian rock band Moving Pictures, he wrote ‘What About Me’ which topped the Australian charts (twice!). The long overdue reissue of the ..ISH album will be hot news for fans having not been able to access the album previously digitally, nor physical in form, for over a decade. The special new package will include lyrics, photos and sleeve notes by the band, and producer, Charles Fisher. The album has been digitally remastered and contains two previously unreleased live tracks.
..ISH is one of the highest selling debut albums ever by an Australian band with their songs, to this day, remaining a radio favorite. 

$35.50 inc GST and booking fees 
or $38 @ door if not sold out
Doors open 7.30pm Show 8.30pm

Colin Hay
Gathering Mercury Tour
The Events Centre, Caloundra
7pm Dinner for an 8pm Show
The Events Centre, Caloundra & Fleming Artists Presents Colin Hay as he returns to Australia as part of his Gathering Mercury Tour.

As frontman and principle songwriter for 80’s hit machine Men at Work, Colin Hay is responsible for one of the most identifiable sounds in pop music.

He may be best known as the lead singer for Men At Work but he feels that his new album is the best he’s ever done.

Inspired by the loss of his father, Gathering Mercury reveals Hay’s emotional depth and musical diversity all the while captivating listeners with his usual optimism and quizzical, instantly recognizable voice.

Colin will perform songs from his new album in a night of sidesplitting random comedy, as well as selections from his solo albums and fan favorites from the past.

Hay is at the absolute peak of his craft. As a writer and vocalist, he has never been more masterful.

Hay is funnier than most stand-up comedians, so he’ll split your sides and then drop a heartbreaking ditty on you.
- The Houston Chronicle

Gathering Mercury, his 11th solo release, contains some of the finest songs he has ever written.€�
- Tony Hillier , The Australian
