Youth to perform

The Peninsula Community Drug Action Team (CDAT) has joined with Umina Beach Folk Festival organisers to provide local youth with the opportunity to perform at the October Umina Beach Folk Festival.

Chair of the team, Ms Carolyn Carter, said that the committee had decided to sponsor a concert for young musos and their supporters on the Saturday night of the festival.

"Our committee is keen to provide our young people with opportunities to display their talents and to communicate with each other about their music," she said.

"Our CDAT's main aim is to strengthen our community by helping to bring people together.

"We see the folk festival as a function of this - people meeting others as they come together to enjoy their music and to appreciate the talent from all over as well as locally," Ms Carter said.

Young people up to the age of 24 years were invited to be included on the program on Saturday, October 23, starting at 7pm in Cola 2 at Umina Public School.

Music from any culture or genre performed "unplugged" will be the order of the program.

Those wishing to be on the program are asked to fill in the form on Peninsula CDAT flyers, or to ring 4342 9099 to be included.

Further details on the festival are available on website www.ccbdma.org or from printed programs.
