GOSFORD BUSH POETS
Good Morning Everyone,
A huge thank you to the more than forty wonderful people who braved the dreadfully inclement weather conditions to attend the Gosford Bush Poet's August meeting last night! Just as was predicted it was a truly great night of wonderful poetry, verse and song, made even better by an outstanding performance by our very special guest Laurie McDonald.
Laurie demonstrated his outstanding abilities with a truly diverse selection of poetry and yarns and completely entertained us all with his easy laconic rendition of humorous as well as thoughtful and pensive poetry and verse. As I previously mentioned Laurie has been featured on the ABCs most popular national radio program, Australia All Over (Macca's Show) and last night Laurie announced that his very beautiful poem The North Wind has been selected to be included in an album comprised of the best songs and poems played on the show! Well done Laurie and we hope to see you back at the GBPs soon.
Before Laurie took charge of proceedings we heard from: Chris Kessey (who has just released his newest poetry cd)
our technical director, Kevin Gee; Ian Groves and Marj Williams who travelled down from Port Macquarie; Jan Lock; Peter Mace; June Hilton; newcomer Gary Frost; the wonderful Sarah Austen with a magnificent rendition of Albert and The Lion; our resident tenor Nick Lock and the recently returned Dave Proust.
Brilliant stuff, a great night, many, many happy people and a wonderful demonstration of fun and friendship!
We do it all again on the last Wednesday of next month which will be September 24. Love to see you come along and join us for what is always a great night and a far better alternative to sitting watching that dreadful television set.
Very Best Regards
Vic Jefferies
PS Don't forget that due to the amazing talents of our recently appointed Technical Director, Kevin Gee, the GBPs now have a Facebook page and we anticipate some of last nights performances may be featured on the page...have a look, you may be there!
