http://merrymuse.org.au/wb/pages/posts/friday-may-18-a-tribute-to-the-pat-drummond—while-he-is-alive-and-well156.php

Tonight at The Merry Muse, Turner Bowling Club
(Canberra Southern Cross Club, 54 McCaughey Street, Turner)
Doors 7.30pm, music from 8pm

Pat Drummond (http://www.patdrummond.net/) celebrates 60 years on the planet, 35 of them in music) by taking the night off, sitting in the front row, while a cast of many plays his songs.

There will be musos and guests from interstate and much stuff to be making merry about and of and with.

It’s going to be a cracker. The MC can’t actually crack it for a job as a National Folk Festival MC anymore (meh), but he’s proud to be providing the verbal blu-tack and sticky tape for this night of nights. That would be me.

## Please note that The Merry Muse is a wholly-owned entity of the Monaro Folk Society and is not affiliated with the National Folk Festival, its heirs, successors, board members or people who deliver the sandwiches to the office. Please note that the above words are those of the author (‘Overheard’ Productions dot com) and do not reflect the views, preferences, persuasions or proclivities of the Monaro Folk Society of which he is but a mere member and spender of disposable income at their gigs and behind (sometimes under) the bar at the Canberra Southern Cross Club, Turner.

Phew! I think I got out of that one. Just.

The Pocket Score Company (Canberra’s Renaissance boyband) presents ‘Sin & Salvation’ at All Saints’ Church hall in Ainslie at 3pm this Sunday.

Palestrina’s ‘Missa Aeterna Christi’ rubs shoulders with some rather old songs about drinking, dancing, lust and piglets.

If you enjoyed the flash mob at the Canberra Centre today, you might be interested that Brindabella Chorus is opening the Sweet Adelines convention tomorrow singing a welcome song parody called “Who comes to Canberra in the Autumn?” at midday at Llewellyn Hall, ANU – entry by gold coin donation if you are only watching one or 2 songs. (The opening is followed by the quartet competition which will run until 7.30pm)
