About

This folk club concert will be 2 small shows.
The first “Coming of Age” is a collection of Gary’s works in both verse and song
The second is “From Paterson to Prine”.
This features Gary reciting his favorite Banjo Paterson poems which tell the stories of Aussie bush characters and display his love of the genre; Bush Poetry.
These works are interspersed with his second great passion, the poignant, funny, sad and
uplifting songs of John Prine.

Born and raised in Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Gary has lived in the South Island of New Zealand for 40 odd years. He has been writing and performing poetry for the last 30 years.
Now residing in Christchurch, Gary has produced and published 4 poetry collections. “
Beneath The Sugarloaf “,
“The Night the Rat Stepped Out” “Strength in Adversity” and his latest book “The Birthday Present”.
Most of Gary’s poems are in the style of bush ballads that tell tales both true and tall.
