Nambour Forecourt Live celebrates birthday, continues precinct momentum
Andrea Kirwin says the Special Entertainment Precinct is definitely reaching a new level of excitement as venues open and more creatives are drawn to the town and Nambour Forecourt Live has definitely played a part in creating a positive momentum.
Nambour Forecourt Live celebrated its two year anniversary in style on Friday August 25. Originally launched as a Council initiative to activate the Nambour Special Entertainment Precinct the event has grown into a much-loved monthly gathering for Nambour.
“Nambour Forecourt Live has been a fantastic monthly event that showcases not only the world-class local talent we have here on the Coast, but also highlights the great local support for live music within our community,” said event programmer and promoter Andrea Kirwin from Peace Run Records.
“The social events calendar in Nambour continues to grow with new venues opening including a revamped Small Change now located on the corner of Bury and Currie St extending their trading hours to include Friday and Saturday nights and featuring live music,” she said. “Also Dance, Art Etc have been hosting some fantastic events since their recent opening (next door to Small Change). And of course the Old Ambulance Station and Black Box Theatre have been a cultural hot spot with Bad Habit records opening up next door.”
Andrea admitted it had been a slow burn over the past two years “but the Nambour Special Entertainment Precinct is definitely reaching a new level of excitement as venues open and more creatives are drawn to the town and Nambour Forecourt Live has definitely played a part in creating a positive momentum”.
The next event will be held on Friday 25 August from 4pm-8.30pm on the corner of Currie and Bury St outside Nambour Library and Council Chambers.
