Fresh Produce is hitting regional venues across the country from August into October.
It s a bittersweet update for Groovin the Moo and lovers of the long-standing regional festival tour, today organisers have announced that it will not be returning this year.
It s the second time the festival has had to cancel but this time around, the team driving the event have revealed that a new concert - Fresh Produce - will make its debut to help fill the void and give back to regional communities.
Taking place right around the country this Spring, Fresh Produce is rolling out in a limited capacity format, with a focus on local talent on a single stage set up. Sounds pretty juicy, no?

The beloved festival has made the call on its 2021 event.
Groovin the Moo has just made a huge announcement, revealing it won’t be going ahead in 2021. The decision comes as a result of the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 situation, with organisers revealing that Groovin wouldn’t be able to deliver the same festival experience that punters have come to know and love.
While Groovin the Moo will not embark on its usual April, May adventure, Cattleyard Promotions have revealed the dates and venues of its alternate venture, Fresh Produce – the new 2021 festival series established with the partial funding support of the government’s Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) initiative.
Groovin’ The Moo Cancelled For 2021
A statement from Groovin’ The Moo reads:
With great sadness, Cattleyard Promotions has confirmed that it is not possible for Groovin the Moo (GTM) to return in 2021. With the current restrictions in place and the uncertainty around when they will end, there are too many factors that prevent GTM from touring the country to deliver the event in the way that patrons have grown familiar with, and fond of, over the years.
Steve Halpin from Cattleyard Promotions said:
“It is with a heavy heart that we need to postpone Groovin the Moo for the second year. We’re really going to miss GTM and not being able to spend another year with our crews, artists, team members, suppliers and you!

American Ray Tauscher, the International motorcycle champion who few remember.
They say that fame is fleeting. And for one international champion, it unfortunately was. For seven times international dirt track motorcycle champion Ray Tauscher, it seems that the efforts of documentarian Ned Thanhouser and his son Michael are resurrecting his well-earned fame.
Ray Tauscher early years
If you’ve never heard of Ray Tauscher, you are not alone. Ray was born in Portland, Oregon, in 1905. He grew up on Portland’s local streets. In high school, he was a multi-sport athlete. Ray competed in weightlifting, wrestling, and golf, ultimately becoming a weightlifting champion.
There are hundreds of statues and monuments in the United States and around the world to people who abetted or took part in the murder of Jews and other minorities during the Holocaust. The Forward has, for the first time, documented them in this collection of articles. For a guide to each country’s memorials click here.
