Andrew and Carole,

I did keep an eye on possiblities for Canberra, but it is holiday season for all venues. You would be welcome to drop in on the Shiny Bums rehearsal on any Monday evening if passing, and you can stay at my place anytime if that helps with your logistic options - I'll PM details.

Folks - we saw them during the Shiny Bum UK Tour, and they do really fun stuff!

The ones I would love you to catch up with are the Poms From Oz (Pomeroys) but they live in Townsville which is a long walk. You have repertoire interests in common. Hope you catch up with them here or there sometime - they also tour UK.

Come over again - for longer.

Charlie - for Batemans Bay turn east from Canberra until you get wet. Sorry to miss you and the James Craig. There was just too much going on, including losing home email for a month. I was there in spirit.

Cheers, Chris
