TTHE GOODWILLS + KAREN LAW - SOUTHERN DOWNS TOUR

Award-winning songwriter Karen Law and her son Murray join The Goodwills Trio for concerts in Stanthorpe and Warwick on November 23 and 24.

These concerts were inspired when the two duos travelled to Canberra at Easter for a special concert. Karen and Bob are both winners of the Alistair Hulett Songs for Social Justice award. Nine previous winners lined up for a tribute concert at the National Folk Festival (photo taken backstage)

In August Karen launched her latest CD, Lifeline, in her home town of Nambour. Her son Murray, a Conservatorium graduate, played guitar and sang on the album, which was produced by Michael Fix.
Lifeline is receiving airplay on regional community radio stations throughout Australia. Karen’s songs have also been aired on Ian McNamara’s Sunday morning radio show.

The Goodwills (Bob and Laurel Wilson) are well known to listeners of Australia all Over with Bob’s original songs often played on the Sunday morning radio show. Expect to hear some old favourites (Big Country Town, Courting the Net) and some newer repertoire from Bob’s extensive catalogue. They are accompanied at both concerts by Brisbane-based fiddle player and harmony singer Helen Rowe.

The first concert is at Eukey Hall, near Stanthorpe, at 7pm on Saturday November 24. Tickets are $15 with children under 16 free. Sunday’s concert is at St Mark’s Anglican Church, Grafton Street Warwick at 2pm.

Tickets for both shows are available at trybooking.com or at the door.

Calling local Southern Downs businesses! If you’re looking for a new and different idea for your work Christmas party this year… then look no further than the annual Sandy Creek Pig Races at Darling Downs Hotel -A.K.A- Sandy Creek Pub just 10 mins out of Warwick. At only $10 entry per adult, you won’t find another great venue for your team with fantastic food, entertainment and syndicates to bid on each Pig Race.

There’s free camping at the pub or the shuttle bus will be running. With thousands of dollars won on each race & great pub memorabilia auctioned off later in the night, its an event that always has a fun atmosphere with lots of laughs and it’ll turn your work Christmas party into one they’ll be talking about for years! 🐽 🏆 💰
