TOMORROW night at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre the five lads from FIVE, who go by the names of J, ABS, RICH, SCOTT and SEAN, will finally give Newcastle audiences what they've been screaming for - a good solid dose of funk and pop. Their hit songs WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT, EVERYBODY GET UP and IF YA GETTING DOWN put Five in the Australian Top 100 for 51 weeks. The group has sold more than 210,000 copies of their debut in Australia alone.
FLUTE TRIO: HUNTER WATER and THE WETLANDS CENTRE will present MUSIC AT THE WETLANDS again this Sunday, from midday until 2pm, featuring the D'AMORE FLUTE TRIO.

It was named the State's 'best classical ensemble' at the BRIDAL INDUSTRY AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE. The centre's CAFE LACANA will be open for visitors to enjoy a light lunch or snack. Proceeds of the day help keep the visitors centre doors open.
