A Redland cruise to see Brisbane’s Riverfire will leave Hemmant at 3.15pm on Saturday, September 24.
The cruise, aboard the ferry Moreton Escape has become an annual fund raiser for the Redlands Disaster Relief Fund, organised by the Redland Foundation.
This year entertainment is by Sentimental Journey and special guests including Rob McGowan and vocalist Ellie May Lee.
Ellie’s music promises a modern, innovative and contemporary style that is an interesting blend of country, folk, and blues with a pop influence. Her sound is entirely unique, unmistakable, and unforgettable.
The development of her distinctive style has been influenced by a wide range of artists which include Annie Lennox, Joni Mitchell, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, and Celine Dion. Ellie’s ability to bring life and meaning into her songs through the feeling in her voice was influenced by her fatherJohn Lee’s singing style. John is an accomplished singer/guitarist/songwriter,who was a member of New World Trio.
“Dad always had that way of making you connect with what he was feeling when he sang,” she said.Sharon Brennan of Point Lookout Surf Life Saving Club has been named as a finalist in the SLSQ annual Awards for Excellence.
McGowan’s vocals and guitar work have been described as “flawless” with three-layered harmonies exquisite and crafted right in front of the audience.
"Tickets for the cruise, dinner and show are $100 or $110 if boarding the bus from the Doig Street carpark (between Doig and Waterloo Streets), Cleveland to connect to the ferry".
