Mackay and Whitsunday Life

Sit Down With Sam

Hi readers
Let me tell you, working on this edition’s feature about the Canefield Ashes has certainly got me keen for a weekend of cricket.
The concept of a social, family friendly cricket tournament in which generations of teams come together once a year sounds like a dream come true.
I’m expecting a lot of fun to be had on the cricket field but I’m sure a few beers, some roast pork and a bit of live music won’t go astray either.
I’ll be alternating between camera and cricket bat in hand, so make sure to come and say g’day and get your photo taken for next week’s edition.
To find out more, find the feature on pages 31-34.
Speaking of live music, I’ve returned from a weekend spent at Cameron’s Pocket, between Proserpine and Mackay, where I enjoyed a night of live music at Pocket Sessions.
The festival is a little quarterly festival that attracts the most talented and unique musicians and performers for a night of live music in a little pocket of paradise.
You might’ve heard me play some of these artists on my radio show, the Home Hill Happy Hour, which is live on 97.1 Sweet FM every Tuesday from 7:00pm.
Despite the weather, it was a lovely weekend spent with friends and my first exposure to live music in some time which was an absolute treat.
Another excellent segue from me: Sweet FM’s presenter training is also on this Sunday, so you might notice some improvements in my show after I take some notes from that.
I hope you enjoy the read and I’ll see you around!
