The Black Sorrows with Vika & Linda I have watched Joe Camilleri since Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons days in the 70's at the Eureka and Collendina Hotels. Never ever disappoints, and Joe has always been a hit at QMF. Class is permanent. Donavon Frankenreiter Love his music, plus I had hair and a moustache like him in the 70s. He surfs, plays guitar and travels the world doing it, a large amount of Donovan envy here! Jesse Redwing Love his Blues Rock sound. Anyone that can play guitar like that will always be on my list. It's always good to catch some new and exciting young blues acts at the Festival. It's one of the things I love about the weekend, discovering great new acts. Vince Peach Every year Vince manages to make so many people smile and dance. Even if you don't dance with Vince you will involuntarily dance. So many happy festival goers can't be wrong with Vince. Did you even QMF if you didn't see Vince? The Turner Brown Band There's no such thing as too much blues & soul and with the vocals of Nikki D Brown you simply can't miss. Also featuring the legendary Dom Turner of Backsliders fame on guitars. The Little Stevies & Teeny Tiny Stevies The girls used to camp in our driveway in the early QMF days. From Young Little Stevie's to Mum Little Stevies. They make you laugh they make you smile, and if they play Grandmas song they'll even make you cry. Sit back and enjoy. Check out their kids band making their QMF debut… The Teeny Tiny Stevies. Ben Ottewell The Gomez lead singer has an incredible voice. We're so lucky to have someone of his caliber at QMF so don't miss him. 19 Twenty They blew us apart last time they were here in 2015, high energy blues & rock, party animals… look out!

The RSL has received an original photograph of the First Smoke Night (Reunion) in 1933 of local World War 1 Veterans in the Sub-branch. Can you help us identify them? We have enlarged the photo and it's now in the RSL foyer. We would be heartened if we can identify everyone by the Sunday of the 11th Day of the 11th Month 2018 when we will commemorate their service at a Remembrance Day Service at the Fort after the Hesse Street Parade and March. This is the Final Centenary of Commemoration of the end of the Great War in 1918. The consecration of the Hall and the Official RSL Charter was made official on the 1st May 1921. It was built by Public Subscription from 1919 as a kindred Memorial in tandem with the Avenue of Honour of Monterey Cypress Tree Memorials planted for each and every local soldier and nurse who died in the war to end all wars. 360Q joint Christmas party Local small businesses and community groups are invited to the second annual Collaborative Christmas Party at Queenscliff waterfront restaurant, 360Q. Owner Barry Iddles began the event last year and it was such a success, he's doing it all again. "We understand how expensive it can be to book out a restaurant when you have a small team, and sometimes the ambience just isn't right," he says. "We've created a night where local businesses with just a few staff can have a great night at their individual table and maybe even do a little festive networking. It was a sell-out success and the night had such an awesome vibe." Table allocations can start as small as two people. $65pp price includes a grazing-style gourmet 3-course menu. Bookings www.trybooking.com/XTRY New Year's Eve Dinner and Dance Ticket price of $150 is inclusive of a stunning 5-course dinner with 5-star water views over Queenscliff Marina, live entertainment, beer, wine, sparkling and soft drink.
