Just spent a wonderful 2 hours listening to you (101.3FM) …. I totally loved it….I bless this new technology.. kind of crazy being up in the hills of Bali and listening to Noosa Radio. Those wonderful Aussie accents on the ads had me close to tears.. I do miss Incredible Noosa and the lifestyle. Especially an early morning swim at Sunshine or Noosa main beach. Well done Kris – good job! Down to earth and no bullshit. Love it…Do you take calls and do interviews? Also loved the local music which when living there we were lucky to hear around all the great Noosa gigs… great to feel connected again… It’s been too long … I bless you for always being who you really are.
… just love Noosa community Radio.

Parody on community theatre at Nambour Lind Lane Theatre

admin — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 05:48:55 +0000

THAT SCOTTISH PLAY by LIND LANE THEATRE is a deliciously wicked and very funny farce parodying community theatre. A local group crash tackles Macbeth, sorta by William Shakespeare – but with all the Macbeth bits taken out! And why not? If you can’t laugh at yourself – then who can you laugh at? “That Scottish Play” could almost be retitled – “ROAST THE COAST”. And who is doing the roasting – well the butt of most the jokes mainly. Let’s put that another way. The cast of 25 plus, includes members of 12 different theatre groups. Or to put it another way, 15 current and past committee members of aforementioned groups and 6 past or present presidents! Pound for pound this is a very frightening cast!

‘Tis a cautionary tale! And within the tale is a lesson for anybody thinking of ever directing a play, for it is the simple tale of a rural am/dram group that hijacks their production of Macbeth from their Arts Council donated director. Everyone has their own agenda.

Gala Opening Night – April 27 – 7.15pm for an 8pm start – includes dinner, bubbly, dessert & coffee – tickets $30 – no concessions
Season continues: April 28, May 2, 4 & 5 at 8pm, Matinees: April 29 & May 5 at 2pm – tickets $22, concessions available.

Noosa Chorale and Noosa Sinfonia extravaganza on May 20

admin — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 02:13:32 +0000

A thrilling, extraordinarily beautiful and moving experience awaits concert lovers on the 20th of May. Eighty Noosa Chorale singers and 50 Noosa Sinfonia musicians will perform “The Armed Man” by Karl Jenkins and the “Messa di Gloria” by Puccini. Puccini wrote “Messa di Gloria,” or Glorious Mass, when was 18, yet it has the same dramatic qualities, richness of sound and melodic freshness of the later works that made him famous.
“The Armed Man, A Mass for Peace,” which premiered in 2000, is the most performed work by a living composer, with more than 1,000 performances worldwide to date. It’s an emotional journey through the devastation and suffering of war towards a hope and desire for universal peace. The music is vibrant, exciting, dramatic and poignant.
Jenkins uses styles ranging from lush orchestral sounds to military band influences, monk-like chanting, Brazilian drum rhythms and Celtic sounding flutes – a veritable classical-ethnic-ecclesiastical combination. To highlight and enhance the music, a full-length film of the military, social and political conflicts of the 20th century will be projected behind the choir.

There’s only one performance: On Sunday the 20th of May at 4.00 pm in the Bicentennial Hall, Sunshine Beach. General admission is $36, with concessions. Book at 5447 4561.

“Travelling North” with Noosa Arts Theatre

admin — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 02:13:14 +0000

Travelling North By David Williamson and directed by Steven Tandy; a bittersweet journey into love, tears and laughter is currently running at the newly refurbished Noosa Arts Theatre. It is appropriate that this play should be chosen because it is one of the best loved plays by the patron of Noosa Arts Theatre, David Williamson.

One of its central themes will resonate with those who have “travelled north” to seek a better life in beautiful warm surroundings, but who still have family obligations which take them away from their cherished retirement retreat. Also ill health can shatter dreams of an easy life. How do we struggle to balance family obligations with personal desires and should we keep promises when circumstances change?

The main characters Frank and Frances have a twilight love affair and travel north to find a new life together away from burdensome family obligations. Their escape is short lived when family issues and ill health intrude on their idyll. They also score a pesky over friendly neighbour who pops in to their secluded retreat at any time.

This is David Williamson in top form with sharp, spiky and witty dialogue in abundance and themes that are at the heart of all our lives, particularly as we get older.

This play is being directed by Steven Tandy who is best known for playing Tom Sullivan in the hit TV series The Sullivans. Steven has directed many plays in Brisbane and the Gold Coast and performs regularly on stage and screen. Steven has chosen a very strong cast with Tim Murfin playing Frank and Yvie Somerville playing Frances and with Frank Wilkie, Xanthe Coward, Stephen Moore, Andree Stark and Julia Verburgt in the other roles.

Enjoy Travelling North in the wonderfully renovated theatre. No more long wash room queues at interval and a refurbished foyer and patio area.

Performances are on April 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 at 7.30pm; April 8 and 15 at 2pm; April 4 is Gala Night Opening. Adult $26, Conc $22, Group $20, Child $15.

Bookings 5449 9343 or online at Noosa Arts Theatre or Wed to Sat at theatre 9-12 noon Noosa Arts Theatre Weyba Rd Noosaville

Endless Growth – a poisoned chalice?

admin — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 10:08:22 +0000

Exactly how Planet Earth with its finite resources can support relentless economic growth is a question most people prefer to kick into the too-hard basket.
But US film maker Dave Gardner is not most people.
Gardner spent years working on film projects for Fortune 500 corporate clients including American Airlines, Coca-Cola, and IBM. But he came to believe that an addiction to endless growth is the problem, not the solution.
The result of his change of heart is his feature-length documentary Growth Busters: Hooked on Growth, which has screened in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Darwin.
Noosa Community Radio caught up with Dave while he was visiting local supporters such as the Pachacuti Project recently and asked him to spell out his views on the downside of growth. Here’s what he said:

Winners to wear flowers in their hair!

Congratulations to Michele Horne and Di Jackson; the winners of Guest Tickets to Saturday nights show “Haight Ashbury” at The Majestic Theatre, Pomona

101.3FM is proud to support “THE SONGS OF THE HAIGHT ASHBURY STAGE SHOW” at The Majestic Theatre Pomona – Saturday 24th March 2012,
The Songs of the Haight Ashbury Stage Show is a celebration of the music of Canned Heat, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Country Joe and the Fish, Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and more. These are timeless songs that encapsulate a magical era in our recent history. The psychedelic music of 1967, the “Summer of Love”, was so popular that radio enthusiastically embraced it. On the back of that magic carpet of music a wave of social and political change swept from San Francisco, across America and from there across the planet, all the way to Australia . The famous catchcry,” Make Love Not War” , as relevant today as it was in 1967 in the Haight Ashbury district of San Francisco, where crowds of disaffected youth took to the street and demanded an end to the Vietnam War. Today The Songs of the Haight Ashbury Stage Show is a rallying cry to those who still believe we can change the world for the better through Music and Art.

The Noosa Arts Theatre’s first production after their extensive refurbishment is to be the fabulously popular “Travelling North”. A more fitting play would be hard to find, given it’s central theme’s appropriateness to Noosa and the fact that its author is none other than the Theatre’s patron, local resident David Williamson.
Gala opening night is the 4th of April, and then continuing from the 5th to the 21st. Bookings 5449 9343 or online at Noosa Arts Theatre
