CHRISTIAN Power has been working solidly in the music industry for almost 30 years.

He regularly performs live on stage with his three piece band, Lonesome Train. The band also tours, having recently returned from Tamworth.

Notably, the band performed ‘two tours of duty’, entertaining the troops in the Solomon Islands in 2011 and East Timor last year.

“I loved hearing about Bob Hope and the Andrew Sisters doing this type of thing decades ago and it was something I was thinking about, so when my agent suggested it, it was easy to say, ‘yes’.”

BUSINESS PROFILE: MEZALUNA GOURMET DELIVERY


Juggling a love for delicious healthy food with a busy lifestyle has become a lot easier thanks to the owners of Mezzaluna, a local business specialising in nutritious home cooked, home delivered meals and event catering.

Diane Nealon and Charlotte Rourke started Mezzaluna in Austinmer three years ago. With young children and busy lifestyles they understand the time demands that providing nutritious balanced meals takes. Both women are passionate that meal times should bring people and families together and be a time to share and enjoying terrific healthy foods regardless of schedule. With backgrounds in training and hospitality they set about building a business providing nutritious healthy meal solutions for busy people and families.

THREE subjects many people do not like to think about, talk about or take action on until it is absolutely necessary are death, taxes and bush fire.

On the eve of Tuesday, January 8, a series of catastrophic fire warning messages were sent by the Rural Fire Service (RFS) to all land-lines and mobile phones in the Sea Cliff Coast area. At that moment, all residents and visitors were thinking about, talking about and taking action to limit the threat of bush fire.

AUSTINMER Dance Theatre will perform five new works at the Phoenix Theatre in Coniston next month as uNCOILEd takes to the stage.

One of the pieces, Sanbiki No Kashikoi Saru, was arranged by the troupe's Patron, internationally renowned choreographer Maurice Causey, who travelled from Europe to conduct dance workshops with the group last September.

Artistic director Michelle Forte said the company was "extremely proud and excited" to be performing the piece.
