Join us on August 11th, 2019
Love seafood! then join us at the only seafood festival in Australia managed by the men and women who catch it for you. Celebrate, relax and feast with the seafood industry in Fishermens Park Urangan
Taste
Enjoy the flavours of the sea with a tantalising range of seafood dishes from some of the best restaurants and from the fishermen’s own stall for that unique fisherman to festival plate experience.
Where the story of local seafood is told like nowhere else in the land. Taste the sea and be immersed in the provenance of every dish with the Wide Bay’s hero fish, prawns, scallops, bugs, cuttlefish and more being plucked from the net by salty weather-beaten hands of true professional fishermen.
We have got the drinks covered too with both boutique wineries, craft beers and non- alcoholic beverages for all the family.
Listen
Brad Butcher
“From the get go I’ve been trying to make this album,” says Brad Butcher looking over his new Record, Travelling Salesman.
It may sound surprising for a man releasing his fourth long-player, having already won a Golden Guitar for New Talent Of The Year at Tamworth, and Country Song Of The Year in the 2018 Queensland Music Awards. But Travelling Salesman is a landmark for the former Mackay boy whose hallmark is sometimes brutal honesty.
Colt Seavers Band
HOT entertainment is the name of the game for Brisbane based Rockabilly Stunt Masters, The Colt Seavers Band. If Tamworth Country Music Festival 2018 is anything to go by, Colt Seavers Band are set for a huge future in the entertainment industry. The band's aim is to blend Country and Rockabilly with Rockabilly essential to the development of Modern Country Music.
Craig Lamond
Bundaberg’s own hard working tradie and family man, Craig Lamond is a self-taught singer songwriter in the country Australiana genre. His debut album 'One on the up' was released in July 2018.
Fred Smith
The Short Story Fred Smith has emerged as one of Australia's most interesting songwriters. He has spent the last 20 years all over the joint: working on peace keeping missions in Afghanistan and the South Pacific, touring in America and travelling the Australian festival circuit. He is the subject of the film Bougainville Sky about his time in the war-torn islands of the South Pacific where his work as a musician and radio broadcaster contributed to the success of the world's first unarmed peace keeping force.
Fred was the first Australian diplomat to be posted to Uruzgan in July of 2009, and the last to leave in 2013. He wrote a powerful collection of songs about the realities of life for soldiers and civilians in this difficult war, recently released on a high acclaimed album called Dust of Uruzgan.
Fiona O'Shea
Not in it for fame nor fortune, O'Shea is the genuine article, both individual and unconventional. Genre hopping with ease between rock, folk, country and blues.
Growing up on the land, now living on the Sunshine Coast, Australia elements of O'Shea's lifestyle are evident in her music. Writing at night under the stars audiences can feel the authenticity of heart, hear the surf rolling in and smell the camp fire wood burning.
As the flame continues to burn O'Shea continues to increase her devoted fan base performing at festivals around the region, venues and house concerts throughout Australia.
