E-News WE WISH YOU A HAPPY XMAS AND A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR! Christmas is just around the corner and we've launched our 2010 Program Highlights. Check out our website for a taste of what's to come. And, if you're looking for the perfect present, consider a Judith Wright Centre gift-voucher. If you need to take a break from the xmas madness, kick back to the ethereal jazz melodies of Vehere. On their first Australian tour, Vehere play in Brisbane for one night only on Sat 19 December. You can read more about the trio below. Speaking of special Brisbane performances, this week is your last chance to see Tom Tom Crew before they head back to Sydney Opera House and then on to Europe. The reviews are in and there's one thing that everyone agrees on - Tom Tom Crew is seriously good entertainment! Finally, from the team at Judith Wright Centre, we thank you for your incredible support this year. So we can continue to program what you enjoy, we'd love to hear about your favourite 2009 Judy experiences. Simply email win@jwcoca.qld.gov.au with "2009 Favourites" in the subject heading and your feedback in the email body. Everyone who contributes feedback will go into the draw to win a bottle of cabernet merlot (2007) of the Bull Ant variety, courtesy of Knight Fine Wines.
