These songs & poems lifted the spirits of the people left behind in Australia and typified the Australian as an adventurous and 'happy-go-lucky' character. They will make you laugh, cry and wonder.
In addition to songs, poems & ditties from the time, the program will include contemporary material from the likes of Eric Bogle, Judy Small, Ted Egan, Sonia Bennett & Ian Hamilton.
This event was conceived by school teacher Maureen Morcom and presented by Maureen together with instrumentalists & singers from Loosely Woven including Sonia Bennett & Ian Hamilton.
Owing to limited seating, bookings strongly recommended for the performances at Humph Hall. Bookings, however, are not necessary for the other venues. But don't be late - Loosely Woven concerts always start on time! :-)
There will be eight public performances including one performance in Humph Hall and two 'down south':
