Canterbury comes out swinging
Come Out hosted the first Crystal Ball at Canterbury on Friday night.
The inaugural Crystals @ Canterbury was staged at Canterbury Bowling Club, and drew a strong crowd of revellers keen to establish another social event for those community members living outside the traditional gay ghettoes.
Come Out promotions officer Janice Waters said Canterbury was a good location for the group because it was only five suburbs from Surry Hills and just down the road from Newtown.
“Canterbury has evolved over the years to become very inner-city,” Waters said. “It is very much like what Newtown was 20 years ago.”
Come Out plans to make the night a regular monthly event and hopes to provide aspiring artists with the opportunity to perform in front of an audience.
Come Out president Alex Day said he was pleased to make Canterbury Bowling Club the group’s new home and glad be able to put on a free event in the suburbs that would accept people from all over.
