If you are into Big Band, and love Shirley Bassey, then this musical duo will blow you away. Just listen to the song list on the opening page of Out of the Blues website, and you will get what we mean.

Julie McLaughlin and Jim Black are two rare finds in the local music scene, some of you may have had the good fortune of being on a cruise when they have been guest artists on-board or maybe at one of our many resorts and Venues dotted throughout the Far North Region.....make sure you hear them !

Dear Julie and Jim,

I am writing to thank the “Out of the Blue “ for providing us with a fantastic evening of entertainment at our recent conference in Cairns @ the Hilton Hotel.

You went above and beyond to provide us with an excellent array of music and song during the evening. Dressing in the style of the era and playing a role in our “murder mystery” was a real bonus for me as the organizer.

Working with you was a pleasure from start to finish and we would certainly recommend you highly if you would like to use our event as a reference.

Both management and staff commented on your wonderful contribution to the atmosphere of the whole evening. Wishing you continued success and “ All that Jazz”.

Mayors Dinner @ The Cairns International Hotel .. NOVEMBER '07
Dear Julie and Jim,

All the Mayors and Councilors at the FNQROC retiring Mayors Dinner were extremely happy with the quality of entertainment provided by ‘Out of the Blue’ at the Cairns International Hotel. It was very much appreciated that guests were able to enjoy you’re wonderful music whilst still being able to converse over dinner. It also takes a special duo to get the gentlemen up and dancing which you repeatedley achieved to the delight of the wives. I have to admit that we thought your voice sounded so 'clean and fresh, when you first started I thought it was a CD.

I cannot thank you both enough for making our night a great success.

Kind regards

Darlene
