Senior Superstar headed to Sandgate to discover what the 50 plus had to offer.

Ten acts performed to over 250 people eager to see and support the talented seniors. Acts included singers, bush poets, and a pianist.  Songs included classics, an original composition and a medley of country songs on the guitar. 

It was a sing-a-long heat with many of the audience joining in with many of the songs performed.  Brian Kelly had the whole audience singing along to his country medley.  As did Sue Coats when the audience joined in while she sung Que Sera Sera. 

There was not one but 2 bush poets, Kevin Dean and Cay Ellem proved this unique Australian art is not dead.  Dot Williams had the crowd clapping along as she played the piano.
