Very Sad News

One of Australia's greatest Australia's greatest parodyists, singers and poets John Dengate died suddenly last night.

John was diagnosed with cancer and a heart condition last year and died suddenly after breakfast yesterday apparently of a heart attack.

All of our thoughts are with Dale and family at this sad time.

The funeral service:

Northern Suburbs Crematorium (North Chapel)

In lieu of flowers consider a donation to Garvan Research Foundation.

The wake:

Friend In Hand Pub

Seamus Gill and Bob Campbell will be running the session.

Metered parking on nearby streets, if you are very lucky or park at the Broadway Centre, otherwise catch a Glebe bus or any Parramatta Road bus from George St in the CBD & get off at Victoria Park/Glebe Point Rd & it's a short walk to the pub.
