GOSFORD BUSH POETS
"....Feels what they feel, loves what they love, learns to hate
what they condemn,
Takes his pen in tears and triumph, and he writes it down for them."
HENRY LAWSON 17th JUNE 1867- 2nd SEPTEMBER 1922.
Good Morning Everyone,
When the fabulous Gosford Bush Poets meet at 7pm next Wednesday night (29/6) at the Gosford Hotel, Mann Street, Gosford, they will not only commemorate the birth of one of our country's greatest writers and poets, Henry Lawson, but also, can you believe it, the sixth birthday of the Gosford Bush Poets!
Yep! Next Wednesday night will mark the sixth anniversary of the night eight of us gathered together in what was the smallest bar in the hotel to kick off this version of the GBPs. It has proven to be a wonderful journey that has seen many, many nights of great fun, fine poetry and much enjoyment. We believe the Gosford Bush Poets is now an integral part of the Central Coast community and has developed into a recognised regular cultural event. Over the past six years we have been privileged to witness the emergence of some very fine new talents in bush poetry and through your support the GBPs have developed into a venue that the very best performers of the spoken word are keen to visit. It has been a great six years that has exceeded everyone's expectations and we look forward to continuing with your support.
We shan't have a guest artist this month which means everyone will have the opportunity of presenting two items. Hopefully we will have some of Henry's poetry presented to mark the occasion and in the absence of competition from the incorrigible National Rugby League with their silly State of Origin football games we hope everyone will come along and help us celebrate.
Entrance as always will be entirely free and we would really like to see you join us for dinner in the hotel's brilliant bistro from about 5.30pm onwards before the fun starts upstairs at 7pm.
It is sure to be a great night of fun and friendship, not to mention sparkling poetry and verse, outrageous yarns and hopefully a couple of good songs from our resident tenor, Mr Nick Lock.
For further information contact me here or on 0425252212.
Very Best Regards,
Vic Jefferies
