December 9 will see Backbeat kick off the Summer Music Series in what will be a fantastic night of never-before experienced live music at Singleton’s Cook Park, thanks to a partnership between Singleton Council and Glencore.
The music starts at 6pm, wrapping up about 8.30pm and the entertainment is sure to have young and old kicking up their heels from the get-go.
The music has been chosen on the advice of the Warners Bay Chamber which has been conducting a similar event along their foreshore for almost 20 years.

Selection of music is critical to ensure it appeals to a wide audience.
Other bands to perform at the Summer Music Series are D’Lish Trio, Hey Poncho, Jumpin Jukebox, Brent Murphy-Duo, Kyda and Sass N The Boss.
Mayor of Singleton Cr Sue Moore said she was looking forward to seeing the community come out in force to support the initiative.
“And why wouldn’t you?” she said.
“It’s fun and it’s free, and no one ever needs an excuse to celebrate the fact that it’s Friday.”
Glencore community relations manager, Craig Strudwick, said the company was pleased to be able to support an event with such a strong community focus.
“We aim to have a positive impact on the communities in which we operate, by effectively managing our mining operations and through community partnerships such as this,” he said.
““It is about creating a family-friendly, free event where the community can come together and just enjoy being in the outdoors and listening to some different music.”
Cr Moore said the aim was for a relaxed atmosphere where people could enjoy the music in a wonderful space, where “people can set up their little area at Cook Park and just enjoy being together.”
She thanked Glencore for their financial support of the Summer Music Series and the cooperation of both Singleton Junior League and Singleton and District Cricket Club.
“Both sporting bodies have assisted in the preparation with a couple of game changes for cricket and junior league sharing their facilities, and we thank them for that,” Cr Moore said.
She was also pleased that the event is accessible.
“Legislation changes have grown from having a focus purely on physical infrastructure to events that are inclusive for the entire community and this event is certainly something I believe everyone will enjoy,” she said.
Australia Day at the Civic Centre will also see Infusion Trio play, another great Hunter band sure to keep the crowds in a top mood.
