FROM THE FESTIVAL DIRECTOR

MESSAGES 3

I am certain that you will love our NOOSA alive! Festival program in 2018. This year we have focussed on our core mission of bringing culture to the community. Together with our many wonderful cultural partners we are featuring a fabulous line up of star-studded performances and speakers in our very own beautiful part of the world.

In my fifth and last year as Festival President, I want to pay a special tribute to the support we receive from the Noosa community, local businesses, Patrons, Friends, Council and Tourism bodies. That so many share our passion of bringing the best of the best to Noosa for 10 days as well as supporting us to promote our wonderful local talent is very rewarding and one of the reasons that the Festival is known as Australia’s Premier Regional Performing Arts and Culture Festival. We

are all part of an extended family and I look forward to watching this this grow and deepen for the next 17 years.

Of course this Festival would not be possible to deliver without our amazing Festival Team (our volunteer Management Committee; our Festival Director, Ian Mackellar; Office Staff; Production Crew; Marketing and Publicity contractors; and the many Volunteers whose passion and dedication make it possible to put on such an outstanding program). Not bad for a small not-for-profit charity!

Enjoy.

Three Latin machos - dueling with three Flamenco Guitarras. They play like Paco De Lucia, sing like the Bee Gees and rumba like the Gypsy Kings.

They spin, flip, and fly their guitars, while popping ping pong balls, smashing eggs, interacting with the audience and keeping the pace going at break neck speed for the entire show.

Already performing in over 37 countries and counting, they have truly redefined the term “Variety Show”.

These Lost Locos combine serious musical talent and frantic zany slapstick to a surreal madness.

PETER GRESTE in conversation with PAUL BARCLAYPeter Greste is a foreign correspondent who has reported from some of the world’s most dangerous and troubled places. But it was he himself who become news when he was incarcerated on terrorism charges in Egypt in 2013. Peter was tried, convicted, and spent 400 days in prison, before his eventual release. He believes his ordeal symbolises how frontline journalism and free speech is under threat in an age of terrorism.

He talks to the ABC’s Paul Barclay about his work as a journalist around the world and his book The First Casualty – a memoir from the front lines of the global war on journalism.

Unbridled Passion Diana ThompsonReaders of ‘Winterflood’s Passion’ will remember Nick Delaney, the handsome vet who missed his opportunity with the lovely heroine Charlotte Ranleigh. ‘Unbridled Passion’ is the next chapter in Nick’s story. The second in Diana Thompson’s Bowral series, ‘Unbridled Passion’ sheds more light on the strong undercurrent of romance and drama in the deceptively placid Southern Highlands of New South Wales.

DIANA THOMPSON leads a chaotic life dividing her time between a farm she shares with her husband in Braidwood NSW, known as Baskerville Park, named after her beloved Hungarian Viszla hounds, and her high-end jewellery store Briolette in Canberra, renowned for its award winning designs.

Between her farm and business commitments, Diana is a voracious reader of all things romance. Now she writes romance novels too with ‘Winterflood’s Passion’ published in 2015 followed by ‘Unbridled Passion’ a year later.
