GOSFORD BUSH POETS

Good Morning Everyone,

Well, I told you that last night was going to be a beaut turnout, but I was only half right! It was better than beaut, it was without doubt one of the best nights we have had at the GBPs for some time, with a ton of talented performers, both new and old, presenting great original and traditional poetry and enjoying every moment of the evening.

The bumper crowd of more than fifty people, including twenty one poets, created a wonderful atmosphere of fun and friendship and a truly great setting for a magnificent performance by our guest artist Jason Roweth.

Jason demonstrated his marvellous skills as an entertainer, poet, yarn spinner, musician and singer. From his opening brilliant recitation of the late Denis Kevans' classic poem, "When The Monkeys Rode The Greyhounds Round The Track At Harold Park," right through to his closing song, "The Sleeper Cutters Camp,"Jason amazed and enthralled his audience. It was a great performance by an extraordinarily gifted exponent of Australian traditional poetry and song. We hope it wont be too long before we can entice Jason back to the GBPs for a return performance!

During the evening we also heard from: Bob Wellard; Jack Woodward; Kevin Gee; Chris Kessey; Fran Bush; Ken Tough; Greg Olsen; Anne Gann; Joe Hartigan; Tom Roberts; Peter Mace; Heather Harradine; Chris Drynan; Marie Wellard; Brian McCuthcheon; Jill Nevile; Mike Cronshaw; Ron Brown; June Hilton and Dave Proust.

We meet again at 7pm on the last Wednesday of August (26/8) at the fabulous Gosford Hotel, Gosford and we would dearly love to see you join us for another great night of good old fashioned entertainment.

Very Best Regards,

Vic Jefferies
