Cosima to make two appearances in Perth!

Cosima will appear at Karrinyup Shopping Centre on Friday, Oct 29 between 3pm and 5pm and in the Hay St. Mall, outside JB Hi Fi on Saturday Oct 30 between 12 and 2pm. She will sing two songs from her new album and sign autographs.

Cosima's new album now in store!

CDV Records are proud to announce the arrival of Cosima De Vito's stunning debut album COSIMA.

The release follows the chart-busting success of Cosima's debut single, When The War Is Over / One Night Without You , which made chart history when it became the first independent single to debut at Number One on the Australian charts and last week achieved platinum sales.

At Diane Warren's Realsongs Studios on LA's Sunset Boulevard, Diane teamed Cosima with two of her top producers - Khris Kellow (Christina Aguilera's debut album) and Peter Stengaard (N'Sync singer JC Chasez's single, Some Girls Dance With Women ).

Together, these eminent producers have created a masterpiece, overflowing with future hits.

COSIMA opens with the Latin-inspired single, One Night Without You which is followed by Cost Of Love on which Cosima rocks, giving full vent to her exceptional vocal prowess.

Those spine-chilling vocals soar again on the slow-building rock ballad Show Me The Way Back To Your Heart, there's a plaintive longing in What Kind Of World and Painted On My Heart revisits the theme of lost love, and not being able to let go.

A perfect showcase for Cosima's remarkable vocal range is the belting ballad Now That You Can't Have Me , the album's second single.

Cosima cruises a smooth groove on the haunting Too Lost In You and lets her voice rip again on What My Heart Says .  

I Just Wanna Cry is the perfect lead in to the album's closing track Taste The Tears .

Cosima follows legendary performers Patti Labelle and Johnny Mathis with the third album in history to be made up of exclusively of songs written by Diane Warren, the most successful female songwriter of the 21 st Century.

"I'm hoping that people will love the album," says Cosima.  "I've chosen all of these amazing Diane Warren songs because I love them and each one of them means something to me."

Catch Cosima tonight on A Current Affair with Ian Dickson and Michael Gudinski.

Cosima will be in Perth from Oct 25 to promote her first album

Locumotion Conference Tour 2003

Locumotion is an innovative medical service company based at the University College Dublin (UCD) campus in Ireland. Its business is to provide a quality global Hospital and General Practice locum service. The company also aims to provide continuing medical education opportunities for doctors in association with the Medical School at UCD.

In keeping with that aim, Locumotion MD, Dr. Ray Power, assembled a group of 40 GPs, Clinical Practice Nurses, Practice Managers and others to undertake a 16-day study tour in Australia.

In between seminars, lectures form medical professionals and other professionally related activities, the group caught the odd glimpse of the Irish Rugby team in its quest for the World Cup title and the Irish Compromise Rules team as they took on the cream of the AFL. The occasional round of golf and a visit to the Melbourne Cup was also be squeezed in!

Gannon Media Services coordinated the group's accommodation, transport logistics and seminars.

Barrack Street Bell Tower

Gannon Media Services devised and co-ordinated a successful media campaign for the newly formed Perth Bell Tower Community Support Group on Sunday, Jan 10, 1999.

A media conference held at the site of the proposed bell tower was attended by all TV stations and ABC Radio. Group Chairman, TCA President (WA) Mr. Laurie O'Meara gave interviews to several other stations throughout the day. The West Australian also covered the issue.

The Group was established to inform the WA community on the significant economic benefits that are to be gained from the proposed tower.

The WA Tourism Commission has surveyed tour operators and have projected daily visitor numbers at between 2,000 and 4,000.

West Kimberly Tidal Power Station

Gannon Media Services have been retained by the community of Derby in the West Kimberley to provide PR services in the region's fight to have a proposed tidal power station considered by the WA Energy Minister for the next stage of the Electricity Procurement programme.

The innovative proposal by Tidal Energy Australia would see Australia's first tidal power station established at Doctor's Creek near the town of Derby (population 5,000) It would generate 48MW of electricity making it the second largest tidal power station in the World.
The proposal also provides for a 500km-transmission system serving the towns of Broome, Fitzroy Crossing and a number of remote Aboriginal communities.

Western Australian Energy Minister, Mr. Colin Barnett, did not include the tidal power scheme in the short list for further consideration preferring two bidders who propose to burn fossil fuels in three separate stations in Broome, Derby and Fitzroy Crossing.

Neither of the two preferred bidders proposes a transmission system leaving over 16 Aboriginal communities without the benefit of a continuous power supply system.

Community Support
The overwhelming majority of residents in the West Kimberley are in favour of the tidal power option because it is clean and renewable. It also has the capacity to generate significant employment in spin-off industries.
