Locals headline Peregian carols

John Veloso will be playing at the 57th annual Peregian Beach Christmas Carols on Wednesday 22 December at Peregian Beach Park.

More than 2000 people are expected to sing along with a stellar line up of local musicians and community groups at the 57th annual Peregian Beach Christmas Carols on Wednesday 22 December at Peregian Beach Park outside the local Surf Club.

Peregian Family and Friends spokesperson Leigh McCready said, “We know how tough it’s been for local artists over the last 18 months, so we are very excited to be able to welcome to the stage lots of locals who have long connections to Peregian.”

“One of our musos is Jay Bishoff who founded the Peregian Originals music festival right here in Peregian Park and ran it for 11 years.

“He will be performing with Andrew Higgins after a fantastic show at this year’s Spirit of Peregian event.”

Peregian Beach Business Association president said Nicki White said, “Andrea Kirwin and Skillz FJ will also be performing Carols for us, along with some of their original tunes.

“Expect to be grooving along when they hit the stage.

“We’re also welcoming a host of musicians who regularly play at the Peregian Beach Markets and the Peregian Beach Hotel – including John Veloso, Sari Abbott, Renny Field, Manoa, Tess Fapani and Raw Ordio (with Brett Gadenne and Damian Campbell).”

Ms McCready said, “Our very talented Peregian Springs State School rock band will be busting out some Carols also, while local dance troupe Studio 4 Dance will delight the kiddies with their sparkling outfits and beautiful dancing to accompany the Christmas music.

“We can’t wait to see everyone there enjoying the kids’ entertainment, Santa visit, laser show, food court and artisan stalls for those last minute Christmas presents.”
