Danny was programmed after the hymn session one year so I made a bee-line to him & he joined us (led us?) in Amazing Grace.

Community Hymn Singing with Hrothgar & his Beautiful Assistants, his beautiful wife Anne, the equally beautiful JennieG & Sandra in Sydney! Sunday 10-11.30, The Terrace.

Danny Spooner Tribute Concert, 12.10 to 1.30 Budawong, Saturday 15th April.

I've just noticed both of BMC's gigs are on at the same time as this - the Saplings sessions for young musicians 8-16 years (Billy Moran Tent, 12.40 to 1.40) + Australian songs (Session Bar, 12.30 to 2.40)

looking forward to the National, there will be a big hole in the ranks of shanty singers with the death of Danny Sponner, but the plus side for this year the Hymn session is back in a decent venue.

as JennieG said recently it must be time to start my annual thread, so here it is. 4 weeks to go according to the NFF newsletter which arrived today.

JennieG & I will be there along with Hrothgar, & BruceD hopes to be there too.

Who else will be there? Any overseas Catters booked?

It will be a cold festival as Easter is late this year, so the shops selling vintage clothes & South American woolly jumpers will do well! And the mulled wine & hot spiced orange juice will go down a treat, too on a cool night.
