Extra events this weekend

The following two concerts, also on this weekend, were inadvertently omitted from this week's Folkmail.

"The Soul of A Poet – The Songs & Poems of Henry Lawson." Part 1

Presented by Chloe & Jason Roweth, online via their Facebook page. 7pm, Saturday. Donations welcome via web page. The two 90 min concerts feature Lawson's songs, poetry & stories, including lesser known material & lively background stories. Songs feature the Roweths’ original musical arrangements plus classic settings by Chris Kempster & others. Poems are recited with an evocative musical accompaniment drawing on dance music from Lawson’s (& the Roweths') home country – central-west NSW. (Part 2 will be on 12 September.)
