OUT AND ABOUT

Marshall Hamburger @ The J

Marshall Hamburger's concerts at The J in Noosa were a resounding success, with tickets selling out quickly for his first-ever headline shows. Marshall certainly had the crowd dancing along to some classic tunes, along with his brand-new single called Thought of you, which will be released shortly. Some lucky fans even enjoyed a special VIP experience with Marshall. For Marshall’s upcoming shows visit: marshallhamburgermusic.com/shows.

Andrew Hillhouse exhibition

A feast of colour, shape, movement and emotions was on show at the Cooroy Butter Factory for the opening of its latest exhibition. Among the exhibitors was Eumundi artist Andrew Hillhouse, who is exhibiting many large works of vibrant and emotive colours.

As an architect Andrew has designed many buildings in Eumundi and is recognised for his skill in design, using linear techniques to create beautiful 3D constructions that sit comfortably in the environment. This time he has delighted us with his nonlinear, expressive celebrations of colour and light. Each canvas provides a different range of feeling, from the calm and relaxed to the vibrant and exciting. Anyone fortunate to have one of Andrew's works is guaranteed years of pleasure as it reveals its intricacies of colour, tone and texture while providing a window into nature, mood and memories.

Andrew said, “My paintings are an emotional response to landscape, they are not a direct representation but an interpretation.” The exhibition is open until 27 July. Visit: cooroybutterfactoryartscentre.com.au.

Belli Hall dances

Ambient lighting set the mood for the old-time dances held recently at the Belli Community Hall. Delicious fresh sandwiches were shared, along with plenty of raffles and a lucky door prize.

A new commercial dishwasher now takes pride of place in the kitchen which is much appreciated by the kitchen hands. Well done to the Belli Hall committee who keep on keeping this lovely hall prosperous and in good working order.

The next dance is a Christmas in July themed dance and will be held on 19 July. For more information email Julie McPhail on mcphailjulie87@gmail.com.
