Undercover Blinds have you covered CHRIS Reynolds, owner of Undercover Blinds, started the business in 2007 primarily as an installations company. Then two years later he saw a decent opportunity in specialised external applications. “When I was a contract installer we installed for a lot of companies around Melbourne and I saw how we could do it better. At that point I decided to go out and give it a go, started working out of the shed at home, and then in about 2009 it was our first stage of manufacturing,” said Chris, of the opening of their firs factory. “Within the first two years we had to get a bigger factory and started to focus on a key group of products relating just to external applications.” These days, Undercover Blinds are the experts in ‘customised works’ within the blind and awnings industry with over 120 years combined experience within the blinds and awnings industry. “Many competitors regularly use our service for shade solutions and advice for their own projects,” said Chris. “If you are looking for a quality solution to your outdoor shade project, we can help. We offer expert advice, custom design and installation, high quality materials, and all types of shade systems.” At Undercover Blinds, the expert advice comes from years of experience in the industry. The team can cater for any special requirements in any style of shade system, and they only use materials that look great and will last well in the harsh Australian sun. Undercover Blinds specialise in folding arm awnings, drop arm awnings outdoor patio blinds, internal roller blinds, retractable roof systems, roof blinds, sun blinds, canopies, plantation shutters, and carb-o-lite. “If you have a special application that needs a custom solution not covered in the above list, give us a ring as over the years we have been involved in many unique projects,” said Chris. “Our long experience in the industry is your assurance we can give your outdoor blinds or awning project a great result.” Undercover Blinds is at Factory 21/61 Frankston Gardens Drive, Carrum Downs.

THE BOB DYLAN AND TOM PETTY SHOW: TRUE CONFESSIONS REVISITED IT was February 1986; Tyson was the heavyweight champ, Reagan was president, but the real action was at Kooyong…the night Tom Petty supported Bob Dylan. Re-live that incredible line up at The Bob Dylan and Tom Petty Show, and rock out to Running Down a Dream, American Girl, Don’t Come Around Here No More, The Waiting, Refugee, Like a Rolling Stone, All Along the Watchtower, Hard Rain, Tombstone Blues, House of the Rising Sun and many other classic DylanPetty hits. “32 years on, and people still refer to the True Confessions Tour as one of the most remarkable gigs they’ve ever been to – it holds legendary status,” says creator of the show Jeff Jenkins. “Wanting to create a new show, we asked ourselves, how do we top the success we’ve had with DYLANesque: The Bob Dylan Story? And the answer was obvious - you add another rock legend or two into the mix.” Bob Dylan and Tom Petty made history when they joined forces for one of the greatest concerts of all time, on their True Confessions Tour in 1986. Taking inspiration from these concerts, singer Jeff Jenkins opens the show as Tom Petty, with backing band The Heartbreakers, and Sarah Highgate as Stevie Nicks. He then performs a short solo set as Dylan and brings the band and Stevie Nicks back out for the final set of rocking Dylan songs. This show is a part of the Frankston Music Festival and will be performed at Frankston Arts Centre on Saturday 27 April, 8pm. Tickets are $27-$59 and can be booked online on thefac.com.au, over the phone on 03 9784 1060 or in person at 27-37 Davey Street, Frankston.
