El Greko seeks gig in Melbourne

From: George Papavgeris

I am due to play in Melbourne on 12th April, however that is a private gig not open to the public, and I have a number of friends & ex-colleagues living in the area who would like to come and hear me. I did have a normnal gig planned for the 11th as well, but arrangements for that fell through.

Does anyone know of any links that might help me stage an open gig in the area on the 11th April - perhaps a house concert or something?

Victorian Folk Music Club

These is also a great folk scene outside Melbourne, Danny Spooner & a lot of great folks live a few hours out of Melbourne.

I will also be in Melbourne from the 1st to 20th of April, I'll
have the guitar, but I'm not too bothered about doing gigs, mainly
a family visit, if you get somewhere lined up to play I'll try and get along.

Cheers,

Pat.

Can it really be true that THE Pat Cooksey will be in Australia for
three weeks and not perform anywhere, God knows how many times I have
heard his songs on the radio here.

Maybe he just wants a quiet holiday?

It's pleasing to hear that George will get a warm welcome to Oz.

You're all in for a treat!

Cheerily,

Mr Cooksey ! I suggest that IF you can find any where that El G is playing , you go along - I think neither of you will be any the worse for meeting ! The ideas that MAY result from two such superb writers bouncing off each other is SCARY !!!!!

Why, I already have this idea about a Greek immigrant working as a lift attendant...

In Melbourne George the tradional occupation for Greek immigrants is taxi driving. Although I suppose a lift is a vertical version of a horizontal occupation to paraphrase GBS.

I was thiking more along the lines of the up and down motion of the lift causing the hapless Greek airsickness. You can see it coming, can't you? "Stavros can't come to work today..."
