The 2008 Blues on Broadbeach Music Festival is set to attract celebrities both locally and nationally
across the festival.

Media personalities and VIPs from across the Gold Coast will be entertained by some of the festival
artists at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre where the official launch party will be
held from 6pm Wednesday night. All media are invited to this event to officially launch the seventh
year of Blues in Broady. One hundred and fifty guests are expected at the highly anticipated affair
which will showcase singer/songwriter Malina Moye for the very first time in Australia as well as a
number of other festival artists.

The multi-award winning Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre will host the event just
months after receiving the coveted title of Best Venue over 500 delegates at the national meetings
and events industry (MEA) awards as well as being inducted in the MEA hall of fame.

This year’s festival will be fantastic with so many great acts over so many stages and venues right
across Broadbeach and so many award winning restaurants to keep everyone entertained.

The Blues on Broadbeach Music Festival is once again a completely free event so take advantage of
the opportunity to see amazing musical talent without the admission fee.

This year’s headline act will be none other than Australian favourite the Black Sorrows who will be
heading up the main stage at Kurrawa Park on Sunday the 1st of June. Joe Camilleri is one of
Australia's most loved musicians. His band, The Black Sorrows, have sold over a one million albums.
Their last album, Roarin' Town, is intoxicating, joyous and uplifting. It is a bold step forward for an
artist who's never been afraid of change and yet has echoes of Sorrows’ classics.

This is the seventh annual Blues on Broadbeach Music Festival and it has attracted over 200,000
people since it began in 2002 making this a world class event.

Transcending the barriers of age, gender and culture Blues on Broadbeach is one of Australia’s
iconic Blues Festivals. The 2008 festival promises to be the first of its kind, feeding on the unique
village like atmosphere and relaxed ambience that is Broadbeach.

The Blues on Broadbeach Music festival nurtures Australian Blues talent as well as provides a stage
for international acts. The festival provides a musical experience like no other in Queensland.

Also, this year on the Sunday organisers Broadbeach Alliance will be asking for people to reach into
their pockets and donate to the very worthy Red Cross Myanmar appeal. Thousands have suffered
in Burma due to the devastating cyclone and every little bit of help is appreciated; volunteers will
be on the entry gates to the concert on the Sunday.
