We can’t wait to see what happens next, and wish our bowlers the best of luck as the competition progresses!
Chris and Jason are one of Brisbane’s premier live music duo’s. With 30 plus years experience playing live they have uniquely crafted their skills, blending all genres and ensuring a great show for all.
Both are masters of their respective instruments, Chris with his shredding violin capacity and Jason with his blues, folk, funk influences.. but it’s their vocals that turn heads. Plenty of people can pump out a tune but when they sing together…well that’s where the magic happens!
Chris and Jason begin their performance at 3pm.

Our little bar has been holding us up for many a year now, she’s had a few different faces over that time, and after all this hard work she’d become a little weary. Thankfully we were only too happy to show her a little love! We’ve gone ahead and refurbed the whole thing, replacing bar surfaces for staff and customers alike.
Whilst the main structure remains the same, she’s been reworked for function and appearance on both sides, removing the tiles on the front and replacing with a strong poly-vinyl covering.
We think the simple yet modern look is both fantastic and functional, and we invite you along to come and give her a try! Further congratulations go to Cam and Sean, winners of the local’s efforts to be the first in line to trial the new bar at her opening, christening her with a couple of cold ones!
The old stags beat the young bucks today in the semi-final of the Triples. Congratulations to Bill Pacey, Barrie Page and Hilton Deeth who won against Steve Donges, Jamie Bell and Tim Walsh.
Bring on the final against Richard Goldsworthy, Kerry Lonergan and Gil Stream!
