You are invited to an afternoon of songs, music & poetry that inspired courage and bravery in our soldiers that fought in the Great War for 'King & Country' and shaped our musical history from 1914 to today. These songs & poems lifted the spirits of the people left behind in Australia and typified the Australian as an adventurous and 'happy-go-lucky' character. They will make you laugh, cry and wonder. In addition to songs, poems & ditties from the time, the program will include contemporary material from the likes of Ted Egan, Eric Bogle, Judy Small, Sonia Bennett & Ian Hamilton. 'For King & Country' took place originally in September 2015 as a special 'one-off' event conceived by local school teacher Maureen Morcom and presented by Maureen together with instrumentalists & singers from Loosely Woven including Sonia Bennett & Ian Hamilton. It was such a success that we decided to revive it in 2016 and perform it at our usual venues as well as Tuggeranong and Wingello. |
