About Us
our story
Established in 2017, Sandy Point Music (SPM) was the genesis of local residents, President David Iser and Rob Nicholson who have led the group since its inception. With a small dedicated team of music loving community minded committee members, SPM have hosted over 60 gigs. SPM pride themselves on showcasing established and emerging talent, from Gippsland and further afield.
The shared small modern Community Centre, located in the beautiful coastal village of Sandy Point in South Gippsland, is home to SPM events. Built fit for purpose about 10 years ago, the Community Centre has contemporary lighting and acoustic baffles in place on a high ceiling above the stage to ensure that up to 120 patrons are exposed to an optimal sound and visual event.
The intimate venue provides an amazing experience with close up and personal performances guaranteed, as you will be seated on tables of 8, no more than 25 meters away from the action. You can nominate to be seated with your family and friends or if coming in a smaller group you will be seated with friends of the music family!
With the support of the Sandy Point Community Centre committee and many volunteers SPM provide an experience to remember.
SPM engage local sound technicians to support our shows.
SPM is not-for-profit. Profits made at events are directed straight back to the music community or on occasions gifted to local community groups (such as the Men’s Shed in Sandy Point, Primary Schools, local Wildlife Rescue and South Gippsland Hospital in Foster).
