Munch your way through Eumundi Good times are on the line-up for the free-entry MUNCH festival this Saturday (March 16) with fab food, cool drinks and tasty tunes – all with that Eumundi groove. Originally scheduled for February, the event was cancelled due to the weather warnings associated with Cycle Oma. But organisers assure us that this Saturday’s event will blow you away. From heavenly spring rolls and satay to Mexican tacos, vegan delights to a finger lickin’ BBQ, there’s a global feast to be had at MUNCH. Esteemed Head Chef at The Imperial Hotel Cale Dempsey will take to the microphone as he shares the secrets behind his ever-popular Prawn and Pork Cakes. Cooking demonstration starts at approx. 2.45pm. Foodies attending the festivities are in for some fun with the inaugural ‘Wing Cup’ – a quest to find the ultimate wing sauce! Got a wing sauce that gets rave reviews from your tribe when you dish it up? A recipe you’ve fine-tuned over years of BBQ wing addiction? MUNCH is your chance to share your wing sauce mastery with a discerning panel of judges (and self-confessed wing addicts). To enter, simply bring your wing sauce (in a jar or bottle please – at least 250g is required) to MUNCH and hand it in at the Eumundi Brewery Bar on the day by 3pm – attached to a piece of paper with your name, mobile, email and your special wing sauce name. There’s some great prizes to be won. Musical highlights at MUNCH will include: Jazz Duo - Cameron de la Vega + Miranda Deutsch - Cameron and Miranda have been performing the energetic and nostalgic sounds of Django Reinhard and Gypsy Jazz together for 10 years. In Cameron’s unique and powerful soloing style you will hear his passion for Flamenco and Latin music, while Miranda adds her strong version of La Pompe (rhythm) and soloing style honed while living in Paris and performing alongside some of the best in the Gypsy Jazz genre. PALOMINO III - Palomino III take up the grittier, rowdier spaces of traditional Roots, Rockabilly and Americana styles. Churning out a relentlessly great sound with a driving, stripped back approach to their much loved roots backgrounds. Think ‘Outlaw meets Country Sweetheart.’ With extensive live gigs and festivals under their belts along Australia’s East Coast and from alternate Roots Rockabilly and Nostalgia festivals both in Australia and Internationally, PALOMINO III brings an energetic addition to the flourishing Australian Roots Rockabilly and Americana stage. GIAN - Gian got a head start musically in many ways, as the youngest muso in a family committed to the musical way of life. With a biological head start in hardwiring connections between heart and mind, Gian’s passion for music is requited in the obvious connection he shares with his lyrics, melodies, instruments and audiences. Accomplished on the piano, guitar, ukulele, harmonica and loop, Gian busies himself writing and creating new material, forever crusading to extend his sound into a greater visual and audible realm. Gian is quickly building momentum as a fresh, well-known talent, exciting audiences with his soulful melodies and memorable performances. Expect some quality street entertainers at MUNCH too – interactive and sure to put a smile on your dial! The Imperial Hotel’s FREE courtesy bus will be operating on the day from 5pm, travelling to Eumundi, Belli Park, Cooroy, Doonan, Eerwah Vale, North Arm, and Verrierdale.
