“I’d never eaten a Golden Gaytime until last summer, and then I ate two in a row.”
A N D R E W D E S I L VA Andrew De Silva shot to fame in the 1990s as part of Aria-award-winning R&B group CDB (best known for their cover of Earth, Wind & Fire’s Let’s Groove Tonight Tonight). The father of two won Australia’s Got Talent in 2012, is the lead singer of Boom Crash Opera and is touring with Prince tribute band Purple Revolution. Andrew has lived in Sandringham for 10 years and loves its relaxed beach vibe. Where do you go for a great cup of coffee? The Black Squirrel. The coffee is consistently good and I love their omelettes.

LOCAL LOWDOWN
OH!
O V E R H E A R D … 2pm, Friday @ Acland Street
I love Sandringham
For Friday night drinks? Hawker Bar. They have a great wine list, you can grab an open window seat and, if you’re hungry, order from Typhoon next door and have the food delivered to you at Hawker. For the perfect meal? Teriyaki salmon and rice from Sushi Daily. Always fresh and super tasty. For some great entertainment? The Sandy Hotel on a Friday night. Great views to the beach and a menu to suit the whole family. They also cater for children’s entertainment.
For a sneaky takeaway? Mama’s Kitchen has great, friendly staff and their burgers are always enticing.
For a serious workout? A weight session at Fitness First Bayside, followed by a run on the beach. ● JANE HONE
When friends come from out of town? Out for breakfast to Limoncello in Sandringham. Their menu never disappoints and it’s great to walk it off on the beach.
Boom Crash Opera will play at the Chelsea Heights Hotel on December 2. Purple Revolution will play at TRAK in Toorak on December 17. andrewdesilva.com.au

Puppy carers needed!
Take care of a puppy and help change a life… Being a Seeing Eye Dog puppy carer is possibly the most enjoyable way to volunteer. Not only do you get to experience the joy of looking after an adorable puppy for about 12 months, without any of the associated costs – you will also enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you are assisting someone who is blind to live the life they choose. Seeing Eye Dogs Australia is urgently in need of loving homes for puppies in your area.
