Hey folks, just letting you know that Liora Claff has had her page stolen. It is now in the hands of some Nigerian hacker and they are no doubt trying to get everyone to click on some link or other! Please do not accept any friend requests from Liora Claff Music or Liora Lalita Claff Health & Healing or click any links etc from her.
She is actively trying to retrieve her profile and will consider starting a new profile page, if that doesn’t work! But, in the meantime, she’s well and truly skuppered!
Cheers, Simon

Hey folks,
This Friday 22nd March is our next Rous Unplugged night! (March 29 is Good Friday - so that's a no go!)

The line-up is complete and features a great bunch of local and not-so-local talent. Our featured artist is Kath Williams and she comes all the way from the Sunshine Coast.

We've still got no dinner as our chief dinner provider is out of Australia. BUT ... we'll have plenty of yummy cake and chai, tea, coffee, etc.... It'll be great night!

So grab granny and the kids, and come on out to Rous Unplugged this Friday, March 22.

Look forward to seeing you there!
