Thread Name: What do we know about Sicily?
Subject: RE: What do we know about Sicily?
G'day Naemanson,

Probably as little as you ... but a few of our Sydney friends (some of whom probably bumped into "Chaley Noble" last month) are off there in a few weeks ... dancers, though ... not the shanty singing set!

"Australian Heritage Dancers off to Sicily

The Australian Heritage Dancers are rehearsing hard for their forthcoming visit to Sicily to represent Australia at an international folk festival. The "Festival of the Almond Trees in Blossom" will be held in Agrigento from 5 to 11 February, with 24 countries attending. AHD will be taking 17 dancers and 4 musicians, with Janice Potten as Director. This is the third time AHD has represented Australia overseas and members are looking forward to an exciting time."

Any feedback might be a bit late to inform your posting choice.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
