The title of the night is: THE COUNTRY COMES TO THE CITY!

(Well the politicians did it when the electorate couldn't make up its mind - Labor or Liberal!)

Folk singer-songwriter JIM LOW from the Blue Mountains will launch his new CD Above the Creek Bed.
Warren Fahey has commented re Jim's music: 'his songs connect to the country and to our unique culture'

After supper bush poet and social satirist BRIAN BELL - the man with 18 explanations for EFTPOS - will regale us with his stories and poems. Brian is a past winner of the Gulgong Henry Lawson Award and the Will Ogilvie Prize.

As always there will be an Open Section where anyone is welcome to recite, sing, tell a story or play an instrument. The loose theme for the Open Section this month is: Poems from My Blood's Country

Periodically during the evening we will trace the life of Henry Lawson - when HE came to the city from the country - and lived in North Sydney. We will look at turn of the century North Sydney through Henry's eyes - quoting from his poems, observations and stories and the Walk andTalk (event) notes produced by North Sydney Historian Ian Hoskins for the North Sydney Council Heritage Centre - for History Week

There will also be several reflections on the Australian way of saying - old and new.

There will ALSO be the announcement of the UnDarwin Awards for 2010. (Phew!)

Doors open 7.30 pm. $7 entry includes supper and drinks.
