Filming is wrapping-up on the final scenes of Sea Patrol (Season 4). During the month of January, I’m having good fun playing sailor HOOD alongside television’s alumni Lisa McCune and Ian Stenlake. Having a wonderful time with cast and crew. Warm, helpful and plenty of the “can do” spirit!!!

This month has seen many scenes shot at the Warner Roadshow Studios, on the Gold Coast. Early February will be shot in the lush Tamborine Mountains! Expect the series to go to air later in the year on the Nine Network in 2010.

What a beautiful year it’s been full of great moments, powerful experiences and continuing momentum.

This year has been a busy year with the release of my debut CD Spirit, a south-east QLD tour of that show, 2 Operas, evenings of singing around the town and closing my long-standing show at Paradise Country.

The year began with the final touches on my CD, and was quickly booked in with dates to tour and promote the CD throughout S.E. Queensland. Visiting many centres, retirement homes and people who love classical music - something I enjoy and love so much, was fufilling to say the least. After the successful tour, I realised the true value of giving back to others through shows and entertainment for the elderly. People to share the power of classical music with.

After the tour, I stepped into the military boots of Captain Paul Fontaine in the opera The Desert Song and followed it up with Ralph Rackstraw in HMS Pinafore. I returned an encore presentation of my show Spirit at the prestigious Club Banora and recieved the Encouragement Award at the Talent Search competition. An Evening with Charles Cooper was invited to perform at Beluga Restaurant.

After 4 glorious years, I closed my show The Ballads from the Bush at Paradise Country in late November. A great Australiana tribute show, and over 1,100 performances. I was lucky enough to have done it for that long. Many great memories there.

The Christmas Carols shows were awesome this year. Big sound. Plenty of people at each one, I always love spreading the christmas cheer and entertaining.

Thank you so much to everybody who bought my CD, talked  to me after the shows and believe in me by showing how much they care. Thank you specially to my loved ones who I cannot do all this without you. You are my foundation. Cheers!

To end the year in style, I’ll be performing An Evening with Charles Cooper at Chill Restaurant from 7pm on Thursday 31st December 2009. A fun night full of classical, opera, jazz, swing and a hint of Rock & Roll.

Next year will see brand-new Tenor shows, exciting new concepts and plenty of good ol’ fashioned classical entertainement.

Until then, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!!

Keep the whole world singing,

Charles

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the staff who have been a support team. Without your help, with many a things, I wouldn’t have survived with the show as long as I did. I had a ball everytime. So many memories I’ll cherish forever, it’s been great to know you. And laugh with you.

In particular, many thanks to opera tenor Lachlan Baker. Who through all these years, from initial day dot to current, has always been a mentor & friend. His humour keeps me smiling, and words of wisdom I’ll never forget. So thank you.

It certainly is an end of an era, it feels very satisfying to have played a show week in and week out. The Ballads from the Bush is a show I’ll be proud of. Possibly the greatest amount of performances of the 1 particular show I’ll accumulate in a lifetime!!! This has been a profound experience, something that will live in me for a long time to come.

It’s onwards and upwards, I hope the grass is always green, that life continues to grow and that there is an abundance of success and happiness for you all. This is not the end, rather the beginning of something new. Many thanks.

“…Take Me Home Country Roads…”

Keep the whole world singing!

Charles
