Present: Fiona,Trevor, Mike de V, Bruce S, Llyn S, Christina S, Neil, Maryanne, Rob, Annette, Alasdair and Greg.
Bruce W got stuck in a traffic snarl and our erstwhile folk club president forgot.
The function was for Extended Families, an organization set up to assist families with disabled children by building mentoring relationships with the kids.
So we were doing a good thing!
The venue was the Animal farm at Diggers rest.
The sun was shining the birds tweeting and the sausages sizzling as we arrived. By the time I got there, the music had already started and it rolled on for about 2 hours to a very appreciative and enthusiastic audience. Tunes were played and songs were sung, tea was consumed and snags demolished. All too soon it was time to pack up. If only all our performances were as pleasant.
Thanks to those who turned up, many form long distances and a very well done to all of us! There was talk of getting us to do a bush dance for them next year.

Ditto Greg, a lovely afternoon's music. There were families taking photos (with some impressive lenses I might add).I have a feeling that our images will be sent back home to Asia and the Middle East. A great way to publicise the club globally. A few kiddies got tactile with the instruments as they were being played - a moving sight as they explore how the world works whilst finding personal comfort and answers to their curiosities. Even a lamb walked through the band as they played, maybe it was waiting to hear Waltzing Matilda or a shearing song? We had a great time. Well done to all involved on the day.

Lovely to hear about such a top gig - the folk club has a reach beyond the borders of Mason St Newport.
