Vale Polly Garland
Sad news I'm afraid. Polly Garland passed away peacefully in Canberra Hospital last week, after her long struggle with cancer. The hospital staff were wonderful in the way they cared and looked after her. Both her son, Daniel, or myself were with her constantly during the last few days. In her last days she recalled the happy times that she had playing with other musicians at the NFF and other venues. Daniel is making arrangements for her funeral service and I expect it will be a small private affair in accordance with her wishes.
Kind regards,
Bill Galer

Spy V Spy + Urban Guerillas + Emily Rigz Band 8.30pm
As part of the Great Southern Nights 1000 COVID-safe gigs for Sydney & regional NSW in November, the 3 bands offer a night of high energy socio-political music. They will all be showcasing new music written this year during the lockdown & venue closures. Urban Guerillas launch their new single 'Bandage This Heart'. With the human race threatened with extinction, due to climate change, a song that puts the notion of love to the test. Verse & chorus duel to the death in this prog-punk, celtic-folk saga of attrition & broken hearts. Urban Guerillas have a song short-listed in the Australian Songwriters Association Award for 2020 in the Rock/Indie category. On Facebook.
