Fred Pilcher at Beyond Q, Curtin shops, 2-4pm Saturday 7 May

“?Fred can do things with a twelve string guitar that has to be seen. He is a great entertainer with a song book of stories that can have you on the edge of your chair. His variation on Teddy Bears Picnic is a touch risque but very very funny. ??Fred modestly describes himself as just a song and dance man . . . where as most of us would describe him as Canberra’s Song and Dance man. Great voice, great covers a true musician.”
