what's happening in sydney..I am working in Canberra, getting back to sydney on weekends,and getting access to Mudcat on the weekends.

Last week I heard a Polish choir perform Fauré's Requiem at a church in Sydney. I went because two friends were singing in a sydney choir that performed some pieces with them. It was a beautiful afternoon, the music was ethereal.

I always have a peek at this thread when I'm in town, it's good to stop by the table and have a cuppa. Many sydney folkies incl Jennyo and jack Halyard are off at the Cobargo folk festival this weekend. Tonight I was at the Loaded Dog folk club and heard a number of performers including an acapella group called Dog Walking Backwards - talented singers, brilliant harmonies, quirky, original songs. Then the one and only Martin Pearson, an aussie comedic songwriter and font of outrageous laughter.

During the week after work I've got back into my artwork - I'm feeling very happy about that. I've started fantasising about quitting work and living on peanuts in sydney...
