The Burdekin Uniting Chruch's Gospel Music Festival is returning to town on the 27th of July, with familiar favourites alongside some promising new musicians set to make this year’s event another memorable one.
From 4-7pm, the Burdekin Theatre Forecourt will double as a community celebration space, playing host to an evening of uplifting and family-friendly Gospel music.
Returning to the lineup of talent this year is Dan Warlow. Having cultivated a strong local reputation through his catchy tunes based on biblical truth, Warlow brings a high-energy, engaging performance that resonates with audiences of all ages—especially children.
Also featured is retired minister Lynton Allen, who delivers short Christian messages while painting live on stage.
The program will also showcase a range of local performers, including soloists David Lequerica and Yvonne Cole, a trio performance by the Woods family, and sets by the Burdekin Ukulele Group, Home Hill Choral Society, Burdekin Community Church, Gospel Outreach Church, and Burdekin Christian School. Lequerica will also compere the event.
Admission is free, with seating provided—although attendees are advised to bring rugs and jackets for comfort. Food and drinks will be available for purchase, including a barbecue by the Scouts, nachos from Melinda Paone, drinks sold by local chaplains, and coffee and sweets from Sweetsville.
The festival offers an evening of spirited music and social connection, bringing together performers and audiences in a celebration of faith, community, and song, and is open for all to attend and enjoy.
