MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER FOR
TOURISM AND MAJOR EVENTS
THE HON KATE JONES MP
WELCOME TO THE
2016 CQ UNIVERSITY
VILLAGE FESTIVAL
● Welcome to the Southern Great Barrier
Reef for the 2016 Village Festival – part of
our vibrant calendar of events that makes
Queensland the best address on earth.
● Welcome to the 2016 CQ University Village Festival!
We are thrilled to announce Pete Murray as our major
act of the weekend. Also performing are James Reyne
(Australian Crawl) and Mark Seymour (Hunters &
Collectors) and we are very excited to have Jazz legend
James Morrison playing on the Sunday. All of these artists
are a huge coup for The CQ University Village Festival.
Experiences are at the core of any
destination event and I hope you come
away from the Village Festival with some
amazing Queensland memories.
Events play an important role in
showcasing a destination, driving visitation,
fostering community pride and creating
jobs for the local community.
The Palaszczuk Government recognises
that events drive Queensland’s tourism
economy and we are proud to support
this event through Tourism and Events
Queensland’s Destination Events Program.
Thank you to the event organisers,
volunteers, and those who have come
together to deliver the Village Festival
for Queensland, and I encourage you to
make the most of your experience in the
Southern Great Barrier Reef.
The Hon Kate Jones MP
Minister for Tourism and Major Events
The Village Festival is supported by the Queensland
Government through Tourism and Events Queensland as
part of a dynamic calendar of events throughout the state,
our Federal Government though Festivals Australia and
the Livingstone Shire Council. We would like to thank our
major sponsors and acknowledge their continued support
and generous investment in the event, which provides
a unique opportunity to showcase the region’s creative
talent. From the bush to the beach we have so much to
offer – enjoy!

ACOUSTICALLY
YOURS
● It’s an unlikely story... a rising Rugby
football star gets so badly injured that he
has to leave his sport behind. He picks up an
acoustic guitar, teaches himself how to play
it and records an indie CD that he sells after
shows from the back of his Kombi Van.
His debut album, the roots/rock infused
‘Feeler’ (2003), sold 6 x platinum in Australia
and earned 12 ARIA Award nominations. The
acclaimed album spawned his classic ‘So
Beautiful’ which went on to become the Most
Performed Australian Song of the Year.
Pete went on to release ‘See The Sun’, featuring
crowd favourite ‘Better Days’, ‘Summer At
Eureka’, ‘Blue Sky Blue’ and more recently ‘The
Byron Sessions”.

Pete Murray has repeatedly enjoyed sold out
tours across the country, and the rest of the
world, throughout his career. He has most
recently finished up a string of shows with Rob
Thomas across Australia before jumping back
in the studio.
2016 will see Pete Murray release his highly
anticipated new music and we can’t wait
to hear his acoustic set on the Yeppoon
Beachfront this Village Festival!
A HELPING HAND
Livingstone Shire Council is incredibly pleased to
support this year’s CQ University Village Festival
and the excellent flow-on benefits for our local
economy, with thousands of visitors flocking to
the region over the three-day event.
Council is absolutely committed to making
our Shire the place to live, work, invest and
raise a family and, with events like the Village
Festival, it is an exciting time for Livingstone
residents. Attractions such as the award winning
Keppel Kraken and current Yeppoon Foreshore
Revitalisation are putting our region on the
national stage and making our Shire a premier
coastal destination for tourists.
We are also proud to support local artists,
musicians and performers through various
events and grants, while Council is also gathering

ideas to advance the establishment of a

We have a vibrant and flourishing community in
our Shire and Council will continue to work sideby-side with residents to realise our full potential
as a region and ensure a thriving, prosperous
future for many years to come.

Everyday we see how tough many families
are doing it in Central Queensland. With this
is mind, over ten years ago we launched the
Coal Train/Undamine Industries Community
Fund. Because we think it’s important that
we all work together to help each other out.
The Coal Train Scholarship Fund provides
funds for clubs to sponsor individuals to join
their club at no cost. We are super proud of
this initiative and it has seen many children
throughout our region pursue music, join
a club, play sport (including swimming, life
saving, rugby league, netball, scouts, rugby
union, AFL) and grow in self-confidence.
We also sponsor many children who are
excelling in their sporting, musical or
academic field. We wish these little legends
the very best and hope you all enjoy the
Village Festival!

JAMES MORRISON
MARK SEYMOUR & JAMES REYNE
JAZZ LEGEND AND
TRUMPET VIRTUOSO
● James Morrison is, by anybody’s standard,
a virtuoso in the true sense of the word.
Besides the trumpet, this multi-instrumentalist
also plays piano, all the brass, saxophones,
and double bass.
Now 53, James Morrison’s career thus far
has been diverse and perhaps not typical of
most jazz musicians. He recorded Jazz Meets
the Symphony with The London Symphony
Orchestra conducted by Lalo Schifrin,
performed concerts at the Royal Albert Hall
with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and
at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden for
Princess Anne. Royal command performances
on two occasions for Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II and for US Presidents Bush &
Clinton at Parliament House in Australia. James
has also performed his own ‘Concerto for
“WHEN WILL YOU TWO
PLAY TOGETHER AGAIN?”
● “When will you two play together again?”
Euphonium’ with the Tonkünstler
Orchestra at the Muskverein in
Vienna.
James has been recognized for
his service to the arts in Australia by being
awarded a medal of The Order of Australia by
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, with particular
mention of his contribution to music education.
He is a Doctor of the University at Queensland
Conservatorium of Music and has received
a Doctor of Music from the Edith Cowan
University Western Australia. He is also an
Adjunct Professor at the University of South
Australia and Vice-Chancellor’s Professorial
Fellow.
With interests so broad and a career so filled
with highlights it seems that James Morrison
is the question both James Reyne and Mark
Seymour have fielded many a time in the
past nine years. For fans of these iconic
singer songwriters, the wait is nearly over,
with a national tour “And The Rest Is History”,
confirmed for the third quarter of this year.

must have done just about everything he could
want to do – but not so...
When asked, “What is there left to do?” James’
reply is typically “This is just the warm up!”
The live relationship between James Reyne
and Mark Seymour began back in 2007, when
they embarked on a massive 90 date national
tour, showcasing an extraordinary catalogue of
some of Australia’s most loved songs. The 2016
incarnation will be a limited national run, with
Mark and James hitting the stage both together
and alone, performing classics from Hunters &
Collectors, Australian Crawl and each of their
extensive solo works.

In a semi acoustic format,
both artists will deliver a set of
the uniquely Australian songs
we all know and love, and have
guaranteed that they’ll throw in a few surprises!
“I’m really looking forward to it,” Seymour said of
the impending run of shows in a statement. “It
was huge last time.
“Apart from all the songs, the crowd singing and
the big band at the end, James Reyne is a very
funny many not many people know that.”
Echoed Reyne: “I thoroughly enjoyed the last
time we toured together and it worked a treat.
Dare I say it, but there’s a fair cache of songs to
play and enjoy as well. Mark’s a lovely, talented
guy, so come join the fun.”

In the meantime, we are committed to
supporting the arts in Yeppoon and we hope
visitors and locals alike can get out and support
(and enjoy) the 2016 CQUniversity Village
Festival. Also, if someone could please put in
a request to Pete Murray to play ‘Better Days’,
that’d be great.
T
CQUniversity’s support is bringing the iconic
artist Pete Murray to Yeppoon, arguably one
of the biggest names to have appeared on
stage at a Village Festival in its 14 year history.
CQUniversity brought Pete to town because
we want the Village Festival to better engage
with the youth of the region, and to cement
the Festival’s rightful reputation as being the
premier music, arts and cultural festival for the
Central Queensland region.
CQUniversity is a strong advocate for the Arts,
and together with Livingstone Shire Council
we are developing plans to create a modern
new integrated arts education, production and
gallery facility right in the heart of the CBD. This
infrastructure will help unlock the tremendous
economic and cultural potential of the region’s
creative enterprises, and it is an incredibly
exciting project – so watch this space!

● I am delighted that CQUniversity has
once again come on board to be a sponsor
of the Yeppoon Village Festival. But this
year I am especially excited about CQUni
becoming the major naming rights sponsor,
an arrangement I hope to see continue as
the Festival keeps growing from strength to
strength into the future.

the Palm Royale, multi award-winning Bobby Alu is renowned for his
signature hammock music & high vibes. The music, themed by Polynesia,
born on the East Coast of Australia, with hints of soul, reggae & infectious
rhythm, is familiar yet uniquely Bobby Alu. An accomplished songwriter
& baritone ukulele strummer with a smooth & silky voice, Bobby Alu is
also one of the nation’s best drummers, touring world-wide as drummer
for Xavier Rudd since 2013. It has become a consistent swap for Bobby–
moving from behind the drum kit to front of stage with ukulele in hand, yet
in this fast-paced world Bobby manages to bring a calm, light & fresh vibe,
appealing for a better world through song.
