ABOUT US

CCEntertainment was established in 2003, with the stated aim of producing concerts of the highest quality that celebrate and re-interpret the words and music of iconic bands and recording artists from the 60s and 70s. To date, they have achieved this with capacity crowds at some prestigious Sydney venues including The State Theatre, The Enmore Theatre, The Lyric Theatre and The Basement plus the Palais (Melb) and QPAC (Bris). They have also established a passionate following and string of sold out concerts at The Laycock St Theatre in Gosford. CCE has produced spectacular outdoor concerts for the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 'Music By Moonlight' at Sydney Olympic Park. So far more than 200,000 people have enjoyed a CCE concert and become part of a large and loyal following of repeat attendees. CCE has been featured numerous times in all forms of mainstream media including TV, Radio, Print and Online. If you like the celebrations of your favourite bands to be authentic yet contemporary, and the performers to be interpreters, not mimics, then you will feel right at home at a CCE show.
