Happy winner of tickets to “Cinderella at the Disco”
January 19th, 2012 · Community
To Noosa Community Radio
Thank you so very much for the 2 tickets to ‘Cinderella at the Disco’. My 6 year old daughter thought it was great. Perfect for her age but I am sure my younger boys would have loved it too. All the younger siblings were jigging about to Abba and the likes. Great music and good humour. It was great for us to do something like this as we just moved to the coast last month. My daughter was on stage dancing with the other kids at every opportunity. It was a lovely to see her participating with the local kids. We will definitely be back to ‘the junction’ for future performances and I will continue to listen to Noosa community radio to learn more about what the coast has on offer for young families.
Thanks for your generosity.
Belinda Scammells.

Heading to Australia for the first time, country bluegrass duo The Roys are bringing their unique style to Tamworth Country Music Festival in 2012. Harking from Massachusetts, Lee and Elaine Roy are siblings who share a unique bond and an incredible family history. Both are accomplished musicians and are known for their superb harmonies, ‘rootsy’ sound and compelling original songs. Their excitement was obvious when Gary Rice spoke to them as they prepare to embark on their first trip to the Country Music Capital of Australia.

101.3fm Christmas party
December 15th, 2011 · Celebrations, Community
On Wednesday 14th December we celebrated Christmas with our members at the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club. Thanks to the Yacht Club for their generous sponsorship in the form of finger food and booking fees, the band “The Strangest Dreamers” who played for their supper and a bit of petrol (click below to hear an original track from their new EP, “Sleepwalking”) and DJ J Sun who followed the band. Thanks to all who donated for the Christmas hamper, which was won by Michael Donovan. Special recognition needs to go to the flatmate of Mark Rodriquez who took it on himself to make and donate a superb gingerbread house for us to share. See the photos. All that was left was the floor! And last, but most importantly, thanks to all who came to make the fun on the night.
