It's true that there’s a lot to love about living here, and this month we look past our beautiful beaches, wonderful weather and envied lifestyle to some of the other reasons (nine of them actually!) why our city is so hot right now. We have much to be proud of, and it seems the rest of Australia is sitting up and taking notice. This month we were not only privileged to sit down for a chat with music-royalty Marcia Hines but also to see the original “disco-diva” grace our cover. Marcia talks candidly about how she came to star in the hit show Velvet, which will entertain Novocastrians of all ages throughout the latter half of May and early June. It’s the boogie wonderland that has been wowing audiences with its thumping disco soundtrack, stunning live performances and amazing acrobatic feats. This month we also welcome Australia’s International Astrologist, Tanya Obreza to our pages as a regular contributor. Enjoy! Stay intouch – getintouch@intouchmagazine.com.au
