Live Entertainment

The event will  have live entertainment from local CQ musicians. The entertainment program is as follows:

10:00am - 11:00am  Angelo Conway

Angelo Conway is lead singer in local band, The Short Fall; one of the most exciting young rock bands to come out of regional Queensland. Performing as both a covers and originals act, their cover performances are as diverse as they are energetic, encompassing megahits from artists such as Michael Jackson and The Beatles, to modern rock anthems from Temper Trap, Birds of Tokyo and & Art Vs Science. The Short Fall’s original music is upbeat and infectiously catchy. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical influences, the band combine guitar driven riffs with soaring power-pop vocal harmonies to create a high energy mixture of alternative pop rock. With their eyes on the sky and feet on the ground, pop-rockers The Short Fall prove that talent isn’t limited to the big city...

11:00am - 11:35am  Celebration Ceremony

11:45am - 01:00pm  Petrol and Chlorine

Petrol and Chlorine are a Rockhampton based acoustic rock duo, consisting of Brendan James Pearce and Travis Buckley. They play a wide variety of music from Johnny Cash and Roxette to Powderfinger and Keith Urban. Their ability to captivate an audience can be seen and heard throughout Central Queensland, and has even begun to spread further due to their willingness to travel.

01:15pm - 02:00pm  Ditto

Ditto are an acoustic duo from Rockhampton, and play an eclectic mix of laid back and upbeat music. Mixing male and female vocals in with their rhythmic acoustic sound has won them much praise in the local region.
