CONCERT and event organisers John Logan Entertainment (JLE) are encouraging Coffs Harbour locals and visitors to give the gift of music this Christmas as they roll out an impressive catalogue of shows for 2023.

After a few very tough years for the music and events industry, JLE are brimming with excitement over what they have in store as a host of big names hit the coast from early January. The entertainment is spread across half a dozen venues and covers a variety of genres from pop to rock, acoustic, musicals and even orchestral performances.

“The clubs and venues have been great,” John Logan offered.

Whitlams front man Tim Freedman will play Woolgoolga Brewery on January 4, followed by Joe Camelliri and the Black Sorrows who play Coffs Golf Club on January 5.

On January 6, the aptly named Don’t Change Ultimate INXS, will perform at C.ex Coffs Harbour.

“This band really does justice to the original, and I can say that because I worked with INXS in the 80s and I did a stack of dates up and down the North Coast and brought them to Coffs four or five times,” John said.

On January 13, Australian music legends The Angels will perform at C.ex.

“The first two weeks of January are going to be mega,” he added.

All shows have tickets available online and an intending buyer can simply log on, book a ticket, download the confirmation and put it in someone’s stocking for Christmas.
