Subject: John Dengate Zoom Memorial 1st Aug2021
It's 8 years since our incomparable Australian National Treasure John Dengate died & the second year that his Memorial Get Together has been on Zoom instead of in the local pub, but that means distant friends can join us.

We already have one international friend on the performer's list - Doug Jenner - and 12 interstate & intrastate performers, as well as a good local contingent.

Time - 2pm Eastern Australian time Sunday 1st August, I won't try to work out international times, you can use the world clock for that.

email originally sent out by Leyne who manages The John Dengate Collection where you can find her email address. If you would like to reserve a spot to play tribute or share a story - email Leyne ASAP! You can also pre-record a video and she can play it during the ZOOM call.

Please join us on Sunday 1st August at 2pm via this Zoom link You can RSVP to the event via the facebook event and check out the Perfomer list

Note: If you download the Zoom app you will have a more stable connection.

The 2020 Event - Last August we had a really fun online Get Together via the ZOOM video conferencing platform. The video of the entire ZOOM session can be watched in its entirety on youtube

As with previous years, the event was MCd by Max Elbourne and featured special performances from Dale, Sean, Lachlan and Cal Dengate. A grand collection of friends and fans also sang songs, read poems and shared stories in tribute to John. A few guests submitted their contributions via video.
