Many of you will know Keith McKenry, performance poet, folklorist, and for many years president of the Australian National Folk Festival in Canberra.

Keith and his wife Jenny have retired and moved to a farm in rural Australia. They will be visiting the US for a family wedding in Pennsylvania next May. Keith is hoping to be in touch with people who might be interested in his doing spoken word programs including traditional and original poetry and Australian folklore.

I have performed in several programs and festivals with Keith in the US and Australia and have always been impressed with his command of material and excellent connections with audiences.

If you have suggestions, please send me a note.


Thanks,

Rick
