Music, food and wine add flavor to Boat Festival
Live music and local food and wine tasting are
just some of the highlights on offer at next
month’s Melbourne International Boat &
Lifestyle Festival.
Teamed with millions of dollars worth of boats
on the water, the Festival runs from 5 to 7
February at Docklands and promises to deliver a
feast for all the senses.
Headlining the music line-up dubbed ‘Rock the
Boats’ is former Bardot band member Katie
Underwood.
The Aria-nominated star has returned to her jazz
and swing roots and will perform songs from
her first solo album, ‘Ain’t Nobody’s Baby’.
Underwood will be performing on Friday 5
February at 6pm and again on Sunday 7
February at noon on the iPrimus Rock the Boats Stage at Waterfront City as part of the Boat &
Lifestyle Festival.
MEDIA RELEASE
Other performers include The Distance, featuring JV Marine’s Mitchell Dean, Dutch Tilders, Peter
Cupples, Dr Rock and up-and-coming local artist Marc Collis, who released his first single “I miss
everything” last year before joining John Farnham on his national tour.
Collis will perform songs from his upcoming album “Louder on the Inside”.
Festival patrons will be treated to live music daily, from 1pm on Friday 5 February and from 11 am
on Saturday and Sunday 6 and 7 February until the Festival ends each night.
Show goers will also have the chance to win an Alpine Marine Entertainment System that will be
drawn on Sunday.
Local food and wine makers will be tempting patrons with free samples of local food and wine
throughout the entire Festival.
And for those who want to learn how to cook their next catch, Bart Beek will present his well-loved
cooking demonstrations at the Club Marine stand throughout the Festival.
Melbourne International Boat & Lifestyle Festival is organised by the Boating Industry Association
of Victoria (BIA) and runs from Friday 5 February to Sunday 7 February, 2010. Opening hours are
