G'day Charlie,

I'm not sure if you were asking after Denis Kevans and/or Seamus Gill ... or after Geoff Young. I see Denis fairly often, although he is living up in the Blue Mountains these days (pretty close to Murray, actually). He sends poems and songs fairly regularly to me as co-editor of the Bush Music Club's Mulga Wire / editor of Singabout.

I see Seamus Gill mostly when I am in Canberra - especially for the National Folk Festival (just past - Easter week). He was limping (temporarily, we hope) and fine otherwise.

I can't place Geoff Young (at least by name) probably because it took a while for me to get back in the scene in the '70s, after some years in Tasmania and working in the Snowy Mountains. I should run it past Len Neary (as close as there is to a coordinator for the Shannon sessions). Len and I were both in a big rowdy band of the '70s The Rouseabouts and Len has always been an inner suburbs boy (usually living within staggering distance of the pub session).

Anyway, I hope to see you out here in our Spring, next October.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
