Mandy Nolan’s Soapbox: Vape Culture

Tobacco companies are in your home and in your school. They are quite possibly in your kid’s school bag. They have their sights set on your children; your precious kids are their future. They need to groom your babies into addiction so that their shareholders can continue to suck in their grubby toxic profits.

The Joe Cocker Experience is coming to Lennox Head Cultural Centre on Friday 3 March

Get on board the Hitchcock Railway as Good Company Entertainment present The Joe Cocker Experience fronted by Australia’s very own Chev Wilson.

This carefully curated show is a feel good journey through the life’s work of the enigmatic and ever missed Mad Dog of rock soul. Wilson’s whiskey-infused timbre and uncanny natural likeness to a young Joe breathe new life into iconic hits ‘Leave Your Hat On’, ‘You are so Beautiful’, ‘Up Where We Belong’, ‘Hitchcock Railway’, ‘Delta Lady’, ‘Unchain My Heart’, ‘The Letter’, ‘With a Little Help from My Friends’ and many more.

Don’t miss this ten-piece powerhouse band performing the biggest hits of the man who is still recognised as one of the most iconic singers of all time, as once we heard a song recreated by Cocker, it was his way we forever wanted to hear it. 

Perhaps Paul McCartney said it best when he said, ‘He was a lovely northern lad who I loved a lot and, like many people, I loved his singing. I was especially pleased when he decided to cover ‘With a Little Help from My Friends’ and I remember he and (producer) Denny Cordell coming round to the studio in Saville Row and playing me what they’d recorded and it was just mind-blowing, totally turned the song into a soul anthem and I was forever grateful to him for doing that.’

The Joe Cocker Experience is coming to Lennox Head Cultural Centre on Friday 3 March. The show is two hours and 20 minutes duration, including a 20 minute intermission.

Doors 6.30pm, show 7pm.
