Ben Waters was nominated by Jools Holland as one of his 10 favourite piano players of all time and named Europe’s #1 Boogie Woogie pianist in the 2016 Boisedale Awards. Ben has performed in over 25 countries around the world & in some of the most iconic of venues. These include Royal Festival Hall; the Royal Albert Hall (Blues Fest with Ronnie Wood); Cadogan Hall (with Bill Wyman); the Lincoln Centre and Les Paul’s Iridium in NY as well as numerous appearances at London’s Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club. Truly international and one of the busiest musicians around, Ben regularly tours Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, the Caribbean and the US. His 2018 “Tour Down Under” included the iconic Sydney Opera House where he attracted a full house to the Utzon Room. His performances at the world famous Port Fairy Folk Festival were also a tour highlight where, according to Festival Director Caroline Moore he “blew everyone away … so much so we have invited him back (for 2019)”. Along the way the band recorded a successful album “Live in Melbourne” at the ABC & PBS FM studios.

Ben’s repertoire, played with ‘flair & bravado’ (Birmingham Post) is an eclectic mix of American music from the early blues through ragtime, jazz, boogie woogie, stride, R&B and the R&R of the 50’s & 60’s. His high octane shows have been described by the London Times as “like a bouncy castle for grown-ups”

His stellar career has seen him playing / recording with legendary figures including Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Shakin’ Stevens, Jools Holland, Ray Davies, Leo Sayer, PJ Harvey and others. His most successful album to-date, “Boogie 4 Stu” is a tribute to family friend the late Ian Stewart, a founding member of The Rolling Stones and a major influence on Ben’s career. Rolling Stones past and present joined Ben for this tribute, along with Jools Holland and other old friends. Sales proceeds went to the National Heart Foundation.

Ben recently contributed to Sky TV’s “Music Legends we’ve lost in 2017”, recording a tribute to Antoine ‘Fats’ Domino. The programme went to air over the Christmas holiday.

Derek Nash has been a member of the Jools Holland Orchestra since 2004. Regarded as “at the forefront of the British jazz movement”, Derek has been described a “one of the most versatile saxophonists in the UK today” (The Guardian). He has led Sax Appeal for over 30 years, fronts the funk/fusion band “Protect the Beat” and “Acoustic Quartet” and is a member of the Ronnie Scott’s Blues Explosion. Renowned for energetic, vibrant, passionate & charismatic performances on soprano, alto, tenor & baritone sax, Derek is one of the busiest musicians around performing in 100 or so performances a year with Jools Holland alone including in 2017 2 sell-out shows with Jose Feliciano at the Royal Albert Hall. He has appeared live & on TV with such greats as Eric Clapton, Amy Winehouse, Paul McCartney, Solomon Burke, Annie Lennox & Tom Jones.

Based on the Village Green in Rosebud, the Australia Day festivities are focused around the end of the 10km Fun Run. Runners and their families enjoy music, stalls and free entertainment at the end of their early morning run. For more details refer to the Mornington Peninsula Shires website.

Proudly the Aus Day Fun Run is organised solely by volunteers from local community groups.

Catering for a wide range of competitors the Aus Day Fun Run has two start points. For the more dedicated runners we have a 10km run which starts at Safety Beach; the second start point is a 5.3km Run/Walk aimed more towards children and families. Both events take you along the foreshore bay trail and finish at the Village Green in Rosebud.

On finishing at the Village Green there is a flag raising ceremony and presentations for all place getters in each category of the fun run. Along with plenty of fun and free family activities held on the Village Green, the fun run is a must for all sporting enthusiasts as well as family and friends looking to celebrate Australia Day on the Mornington Peninsula.

Funds raised from the day support local sporting and community groups whose members volunteer their time each year to run this fantastic event.’

Peninsula Film Festival returns this summer and introduces Musiqua.

The AGL Peninsula Film Festival returns to entertain the crowds on screen and stage this February, and for the first time introduces Musiqua, with live music at Hastings Foreshore.

Now in its 8th year, the festival will run from February 1 – 3, 2019 and features a ticketed launch at Rosebud Cinema on the Friday Feb 1, the popular FREE short film festival at the Village Green in Rosebud on Sat Feb 2 and is expanding to include a new music festival at Hastings, Musiqua, on the Sunday Feb 3.

The FREE short film festival is the highlight of the program and runs on Saturday 2 February 2019.  20 shortlisted Australian filmmakers showcase their films in front of a panel of celebrity judges and film luminaries. Judges award monetary prizes for best short films and other categories including Best Animation, Best Documentary, Best International and the Woodleigh School Emerging Filmmaker Award.

The 2019 event has welcomed a new category – the Rye, Rosebud and Dromana Community Bank® branches of Bendigo Bank My Local Hero Award. Aspiring film makers have the chance to enter a 2-minute film featuring someone who has made an impact on the region and share their inspiring story on the big screen.

This year, the festival’s judging panel includes Lachy Hulme (Offspring, Romper Stomper TV series), Don Hany (Offspring, White Collar Blue, Bad Mothers), Michala Banas (Upper Middle Bogan, McLeod’s Daughters) and Triple M radio host and actor Mick Molloy. They’ll be joined by the world’s best stuntwoman, US actress Danielle Burgio, who is highly regarded for her stunt work as Trinity in the Matrix series. Actress and television presenter Tania Zaetta will MC the evening.

A firm fixture on the regional Victorian calendar, film fans will once again roll out their picnic rugs at the FREE short film festival in Rosebud and enjoy an evening of short films and live music performances along with great local food and wine from the gourmet food truck alley.

The next day, Hastings Foreshore beckons the public to roll out the picnic rugs and dancing shoes at the inaugural music, food and wine gathering, Musiqua. The fantastic line-up showcases live music from respected artists Ella Hooper, Terry Serio & Charlie Owen, The Midwayers, Taylor Piggott and Matilda Pearl as well as food trucks, wine and craft beer and an afternoon market.

Festival Director, Steve Bastoni, said extending the festival to incorporate music and comedy entertainment at Musiqua offers greater opportunities to connect local audiences with emerging talent, while continuing to increase the exposure for independent Australian films and talent.
