Feathered Tales

ISSUE 1 APRIL 2007
-
G’day,
Welcome to our new look newsletter. We’ve decided it’s
time to start up the old newsletter trick again...so here goes!
-
As you know, we, (Peg and Sue), with
the help of Angela,
Donella, Bow and Griff, have been hard at it already this year
putting on our usual dances and gigs, along with some specialised
shows for your enjoyment. And we have plenty more of that lined
-
up for the rest of the year too, but
more about that later!
-
We started the New Year with a bang
at Paxton BC, which
was really handy for us because we were able to just roll
down the hill to home:) We then participated in a Wedding
Expo at NJC with Wayne Rogers and then it was off to
the Tamworth CM Festival.
-
-
Over the 10 days, we worked
with The Dolly Tribute Show, a Wild Dove Show at LBS—Butts
Auditorium, a couple of Shows with Craig Giles and his
friends, a couple of Shows with Corina Cordwell, Kathryn Pitt
and other female yodellers and so on and so forth until we
were both exhausted, and it took a week to get over it!
-
At the beginning of March we held a
very successful show
called The Cream of Country at Tighes Hill Social Club. The
line up was Angela Hayden (from the Central Coast) , Craig
Giles (from Finley), Evelyn Bury (from Bundaberg), and
Brian Letton (from Tamworth).
-
-
The Auditorium was packed to
capacity and by all accounts everyone loved the new venue,
dance floor, and the show in general! There’s more of these
shows happening this year too, so stay tuned…
-
Meanwhile, have a great month
and we’ll see you at our next
gig.
