Live On The Lake
The Toronto Hotel is a legendary country pub and what better way to celebrate it than to stage an iconic series of music concerts on the grounds of the hotel overlooking Lake Macquarie.
“Live On The Lake” as it is affectionately known has attracted some of the biggest national and international performers to its stage. The first Live On The Lake concert kicked off in January 2018 with a sold out performance by the one and only Daryl Braithwaite. Since then the concert series has been home to acts including Thirsty Merc, Russell Morris, Mental As Anything, Leo Sayer and most recently a sold out double header rock concert starring the Baby Animals and The Angels.

Gates Open 3PM
THE BOYS LIGHT UP, one of Australian Crawl’s most loved songs, will turn the big 4-1 in 2021 and to celebrate, James Reyne will tour the nation paying homage to this enduring tune.
‘The Boys Light Up’ was written by James Reyne, and featured on the album of the same name, released in 1980 on EMI. It was Australian Crawl’s debut album and also featured ‘Indisposed’, ‘Downhearted’, ‘Beautiful People’ and ‘Hoochie Gucci Fiorucci Mama’.
James reflected on the song today, saying, “ Boys Light Up is turning 41! By Jove, who woulda thunk it. If I’d known what gave it legs I would’ve bottled it and drunk it. And I’m delighted that so many take this song into their hearts ‘cause it never really was a hit – it just SCRAPED into the charts. But it seems to hit a nerve, a chord, a nail, a bell, a spot ‘cause I tell ya, we don’t play it I’m likely to get shot! Or met by blokes in car-parks full of vinegar and piss who wanna know what game I’m playing, wanna know, “What game is this?!” They say they’ve got it on the record on CD, 8-track, cassette and they drove 500 miles not to hear it! Most upset!
“So it’s always fun to play tub-mother-thumping with the band and these are the good old days so c’mon and clap a hand. It’s bigger and it’s brighter with god-damned age some guile; And grand! And once upon a time remember? It got banned. ‘Cause I think “they” thought the title celebrated smoking dope!
But it had nothing to do with it – It’s what you’d call a TROPE. A figure, then, of speech for euphemist results and irony of ironies and censorship and tyrannies
It’s about a fab and natural act for CON-senting adults.
“So, we’re coming to your town to celebrate it’s Come-Of-Age – bring all your bells and whistles ‘cause we’ll be BLISTERING the stage. There’ll be thrills and there’ll be spills as we fill that ROCKING cup ‘cause those Boys are turning 41 so c’mon and light them up!!”
Don’t miss the opportunity to celebrate 41 years of ‘The Boys Light Up’ with James Reyne and his incredible band of musicians – grab your tickets now!
Gates open at 3pm. Great support acts to be announced soon.

And, without labouring the point, I think that I’ve been very fortunate to have had a lot of help from different people as well. It seems to have come together.

Gates Open 2PM
McAlister Kemp are officially back with their first tour in six years!
They will be performing songs from their much-loved catalogue of smash hits plus new songs at the Toronto Hotel – Live On The Lake, Saturday 16th of October.
With special guests The Viper Creek Band plus support acts.
Consisting of Drew McAlister and Troy Kemp, McAlister Kemp are one of the most successful Australian country acts of the last decade. From the immediate, breakout success of their debut album ‘All Kinds of Tough’ in 2010 through to disbanding in 2015, the duo earned their stripes as one of the highest-selling and most exciting touring acts in Australian country music.
But it is not just the strength of their live shows that brought them acclaim, their three albums; ‘All Kinds of Tough’ (2010), ‘Country Proud’ (2012) and ‘Harder to Tame’ (2014) are classics of the genre, packed with hands-in-the-air rockers such as “Country Proud”, “Hell Yeah”, “Hard Work”, and “Harder To Tame” and anthems like “All Kinds of Tough”, “It Don’t Buy You Love”, “Fight Me” and “Home”.
The break has been rewarding for Drew and Troy individually with solo albums, hit singles, awards and touring and with a legacy as enduring as the MK catalogue, it was only a matter of time before the pair would unleash once again.
