24.01.2022 In what might well be a first, a local winery has been the inspiration for a new original song. The aptly named Brisbane Band Fine Vintage are set to debut their brand new song when they play at the Heritage Manor - Heritage Estate Wines on Sunday from Noon - 4pm. Featuring Mick Power, has been performing in Queensland for the past 40 years and has supported the Bee Gees, Hollies and Ray Charles over the years, Fine Vintage played the venue back on Father’s Day which is whe...n the idea for the song came about according Heritage’s Therese Fenwick. They’re going to be kicking-off their new song called High Strung - which is a collaboration between us and them, Therese explained. Basically we seeded the idea and they’ve written a song especially for us. The name is a double entendre between the high-strung wires that a vine grows on, the strings of a guitar and a highly strung person that needs wine. She said it had been the father’s day gig that had been the catalyst for the collaboration between the band and winery. It was a brilliant father’s day, we had lots of fathers and they have a very good talent of being able to start out with soft jazz, move into blues and then ramp it up into the rock by the end of the afternoon when everyone is totally grooving, she said. At the end of that session I pretty much said you should write a song about this and they pretty much went away and did it so they’re now going to be playing it public for the very first time here on Sunday. She said this iteration of the band had essential got together during Covid to celebrate the good things. It’s a four piece band but they often have a guest member come and play an instrument or two so it’s a four to five piece band, Therese said. They’re based in Brisbane but they love the Granite Belt. The event being billed as Fine Vintage Jazz Christmas will also include a glass of wine and one of Heritages’ three course lunches - in this case a mango macadamia and Australian tiger prawn Thai green salad, Smokey BBQ pulled pork brioche burger with apple and siracha coleslaw with estate grown lemon, almond and poppy slice with fresh berries to finish.

07.01.2022 Looking for something to do this morning. Well don’t miss the Stanthorpe Eco Expo at the railway yards from 9am. Bringing together keynote speakers, exhibitors and stall holders, the Eco Expo is designed to incorporate a lot of different topics around sustainability into one jam packed, fun filled day.

06.01.2022 Coopers Menswear store - like many of the independent retailers on Palmerin Street is something just a little out of the ordinary. Owned and operated by Andrew Cooper, the store has been in its current location for just over a year and aims to offer things you expect and things you might not. I have men’s clothing, accessories, suiting, lots of Christmas gifts because it’s a bit hard in Warwick to find something a little bit different for a man, he explained. I have a lot ...of leather goods, toiletries and things like light that and we stock some pretty good brands - RM Williams, Thomas Cook, Tommy Hilfiger, Gazman. I like to offer something a little bit different to the run of the mill kind of thing for a man. We service everyone from teen-aged boys to seniors. I like to have a nice welcoming environment for my customers. Andrew worked in retail for eight years after school and while he was still in his mid-twenties the opportunity came about to open up his own business. I think Warwick needed it, there was a previous menswear store here and they were closing so I kind of took over and changed it up and freshened it up a bit, he said. He is still only thirty - and it admits it is a big step at that age and it was hard but Warwick had been very supportive. People still like to support local which is what it’s all about, Andrew said. We have a lot here in the main street - everything is covered. I think it’s our location - we are close to Brisbane but at the same time we are far enough to make it work - for us to do our own thing. He believes his youth is an advantage in business allowing him to bring new ideas - something that was needed in a country town like Warwick. Find Coopers Menswear at 107 Palmerin Street and drop in and say hello to Andrew during Jingle and Mingle late night shopping experience. See more
