About Entertainment Cairns

Entertainment Cairns was launched in January 2009 in response to community concern about the closure of live music venues in the Cairns region.

Set up by: Damian Codotto (cairns web designer and cairns recording studio owner); Ray Elias (musician, event management, convener of People Advocating Live Music or PALM); Caz Williams (live music advocate, publisher of the first PALM gig guide prior to Entertainment Cairns) and assisted by Melissa Robertson, then Cultural Development Officer for Arts Nexus and a passionate advocate for capacity building in the arts community.


Entertainment Cairns set these goals

  • Promote entertainment in Cairns and the surrounding regions.
  • Build interest of audiences and encourage people to attend all forms of live performance in our
    region.
  • Create easy access to accurate, quality information provided by the artists, venues and
    promoters.
  • Provide a website with cross links and developed search capabilities and the ability
    to print a summary of the gig guide.
  • Increase opportunities for artists and venues to promote themselves and help
    sustain their businesses and our live performance industry.
  • Measure how Entertainment Cairns has impacted on their business.


Please support Entertainment Cairns and help contribute to a more vibrant, culturally diverse live music and performance "brand" in the Cairns Region.


By using our website to locate performers and events of interest, you will support artists and
entertainment venues. Turn off the TV, the computer, the Play Station and enjoy live performance!!
