LOCAL Women Rock for International Womens Day was a huge success.
Noosa legend 92 years old, Emma Freeman opened the show with her inspirational words.
The local talent was fabulous with wonderful women of all ages on stage strutting their stuff.
The youngest star was seven-year-old Madeliene Suttee who sang with her mum Renae. Renae sings jingles for radio and television. She is the voice for the TV ad of Tourism Queensland.
The Kitty Kats were superb with local songstress Michelle Brown heading the program with her new Kat trio – Renae Suttee and powerhouse Susanne Campbell.
Local sweetheart from the Noosa Arts Theatre Michelle Lamarca showed her talents with passion and soul.
Newcomers to the stage, the trio TLC – Trish Couper, Carly Wallwork and Laura Driver sang folk, pop and some originals. Hard to believe it was the first time Carly and Laura had sang on stage.
Melony Davies and her belly dancers swiveled their hips, while the Moonshiners got every one’s foot tapping to their clog/tap dancing.
Delightlful and confident 13-year-olds Indiah and Jessica spoke and sang as if they were born on the stage and were lucky enough to each be kindly given a term of free lessons for musical theatre from Coast Musical Theatre group.
Madam Firebird, four girls from Boreen Point, fired up the crowd.
The Doo Wop Dolls with their purple wigs and big petticoated dresses sang their happy songs of the ’60s and also Sissy and Dani in the sassy Mummy Mias sang an Abba tribute.
