NOOSA NAMASTE • Thursday 27 April

Noosa Namaste - Thursday 27 April

Chef Surinder creates unique contemporary cuisine that draws from eclectic inspirations he derived in India, Europe and Australia.
He uses the ancient 5000 year old Ayurvedic philosophy to prepare his food… low in salt, sugar, slow cooked without any artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. He blends in the goodness of locally grown chillies, lettuce, roselle, lime, lemons, coriander, eggplant and other produce… straight from his own and friends’ gardens.

Surinder’s cooking is rustic and full of flavour. His meals are healthy, wholesome, well balanced and full of the tastes inherent in the Punjabi recipes passed down through generations in India.

Now that's why we love it!! Kayt & Steph are bringing the duo back to Noosa Namaste Thursday 27 April.

Boundaries are pushed as the human canvases are transformed into works of art before the crowd.

And that's why we Love It!!

Come and join The Moonsets for this year's Saturday Soiree. Meet the Artists, mingle with their exquisite canvasses and drink from the cup of creation!!

There will be food. There will be wine.

5pm | in the park | Cooroy

“psytrance style jazzy rock”

Thanks very much Jai Bevan for this great shot of us from last year with our biggest fan! We're glad we're The Moonsets now for so many reasons. Somewhere between a memory and a dream The Flumes is now a name on old gig posters and dusty CD racks. Something much loved and tinkered with laid to rest. Moving on and letting go is a theme we return to again and again in song and we feel it's ripe for celebration.

The time of The Flumes has passed. Now is the time of The Moonsets.

Check out Jai's tunes, he's a great young songwriter with lots of soul
