Free live music with a message returns to Nambour

Nambour’s Ignite Christian Church will again host Live at the Chapel (L@TC), a free, family-friendly evening of Christian music on Saturday 3 May, from 6pm at the church’s auditorium, 29 Short Street.

Presented by Ignite Church and Aussie Grown Radio, L@TC showcases local and touring Christian artists donating their time and talent. While admission is free, donations on the night will directly support the musicians’ ministries. Drinks and light nibbles will be available for purchase.

Phil Spence & Naomi J headline

Headlining this month’s event is Phil Spence & Naomi J, returning favourites at L@TC. Phil will mark 45 years since the vinyl release of his debut album, First Light, by revisiting tracks from that record alongside songs by contemporaries from the Jesus Revolution era. Spence, who opened for Dan Peek (of America) and Randy Stonehill at Lang Park, will share personal anecdotes about those performances and his encounters with Barry McGuire.

Rocker-turned-worship leader Nick Reeve opens

Supporting Phil and Naomi is Nick Reeve, lead singer of Sunshine Coast Christian rock project Soulchase and former frontman of hard-rock outfit Hammerhead. Since releasing his debut Christian rock album, Breathe Life, in 2014, Reeve has balanced cover-band work with his burgeoning worship ministry, Kingdom 2 Coast. At L@TC he will perform a stripped-back solo set of Soulchase favourites and debut new material.

L@TC runs on the first Saturday of each month. For many families, it’s become a highlight—a chance to enjoy live, uplifting music without the usual ticket price.
