On 17th July 2010, Toowong Rowing Club in partnership with International RiverFoundation will be hosting the Head of the Brisbane River regatta. Races will start at 1pm and will include some of the finest rowing teams in the country. The riverbank will host a range of festive activities for participants and spectators, including several initiatives designed to raise awareness of the issues affecting the health of our rivers. This will help raise funds to support our efforts to protect, restore and sustainably manage our waterways. There will be food and drinks available from the licensed club house, live entertainment by Band of Frequencies and Georgia Potter plus a kids area with bouncing castle and slide. Heaps of fun for everyone, do come down and have a great day at the regatta! We are currently seeking support for this event and ask for your sponsorship to make the regatta better than ever.

Band of Frequencies
"Prepare to have your musical thirst quenched. Byron Bay's Band of Frequencies dabbles in the whole pallet of musical genres; Bluesy rock drips away into skull-melting lullabies that pitter-patter like rain into jazz-fusion grooves that inevitably wander off somewhere else altogether." -Travis Ferre SURFING Magazine, US

Georgia Potter
Stylistically a mixture of folk, soul, roots and occasionally reggae, Georgia's standout vocal delivers fresh perspectives on issues of cultural identity, tradition, love and loss, balancing criticism & optimism, poetry & melody, humour & humanity, culminating in a record that is both hard-hitting & mellow.
