THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT FOR THE GREAT SOUTHERN BLUES & ROCKABILLY FESTIVAL
Australia- The Great Southern Blues & Rockabilly Festival is one of New South
Wales' favourite music festivals, and its growth over its first 14 years has
been significant. Today, Festival Director Neil Mumme from Instep Management
Group announced an exciting new chapter in the event's history.

Leading Australian promoter Michael Chugg and the team at Chugg Entertainment
will come on board as partners in 2010, working with Neil Mumme to ensure the
continued growth of this great event including movement to a new site, which
will bring great potential for the expansion of the festival.
For the past 12 months, Neil and his team have been reviewing every aspect of
the festival and exploring the best way forward for the event. Chugg
Entertainment became a clear choice as a business partner due to their many
years of touring international artists, and experience in producing some of
Australia's greatest music festivals and special events.

Chugg Entertainment will work closely with Neil Mumme and the team of people
who have worked tirelessly to build the festival, to ensure its ongoing
viability and most of all, to ensure that this festival continues to meet, and
exceed the expectations of it's many loyal fans.

The event will continue to be held on the October Labour Day weekend but will
have a new home in Bateman's Bay from 2010.

Neil Mumme commented, "It has been a very tough decision to move to a new
site. Whilst we have always valued the ongoing support of the Narooma
community, after 14 years we had to make a commercial decision to secure the
future of the event. We are thrilled to have Chuggi and his team onboard and
their commitment to throw their weight behind the festival to take it to the
next level.

"We have outgrown Narooma due to lack of accommodation and with the ever
increasing number of patrons looking to attend the festival the decision to
move to an area with more facilities is necessary. We want to keep it in the
Eurobodalla, and therefore Batemans Bay was the natural solution," said Mumme.

Executive Chairman of Chugg Entertainment, Michael Chugg, said, "Neil has
created a fantastic festival and we are thrilled to be working with him and
his team to continue to build on the foundations of the event, and continue to
give the audience a great experience, that will always be our first priority.
I am also excited to be working with the local Batemans Bay community to
ensure great outcomes for the region." Mr Mumme added, "I'd like to thank
everyone in Narooma who has supported the event for so many years, and whilst
I am sad to see it leave it's current home, I'm truly excited about the future
of the festival. Stay tuned for some exciting announcements next year!"

Further announcements regarding the 2010 Great Southern Blues and Rockabilly
Festival will be made in early 2010.
