TOM BURLINSON Saturday 18 JulyBRIAN KENNEDY Saturday 30 May CHRISTMAS IN JULY Saturday 11 July

Winter may be all but upon us, but SEC regulars know that’s when things really warm up at the Sutherland Entertainment Centre. The Annual Christmas in July event is returning and by popular demand the entertainment will be provided by Ian Cooper in his spectacular Andre Rieu tribute. Cabaret star Rhonda Burchmore will be making a long overdue return to SEC with her brand new show Vinyl Viagra. There are also still good seats available for the greatest vocalist you are ever likely to see, Brian Kennedy direct from Ireland, and the best local talent from CCEntertainment with the Great Gig in the Sky.

We haven’t forgotten the kids, either, with three fantastic shows this July. Opera Australia present a unique English language 50 minute version of the magical Cinderella, The Gruffalo’s Child returns and the Kazoos will delight and entertain the younger ones. What is more, you can afford to bring the family to all three of these

shows with a special Kids Club subscription package which

gets you four tickets which

can be used by a child or an adult for each show for just

$99. That works out at just $8.25 per ticket.
