Hello all, 

I hope this message finds everyone healthy and well.
Coming up to 7 years after John's passing, there is still so much to share in our love for him. A bit of info here, you might want to grab a cuppa or a Guinness!

John Dengate Memorial Get Together - going online!

Unfortunately, our annual John Dengate Get Together scheduled to take place as usual at the end of August, will not be going ahead due to Covid19 safety restrictions.

In its place we will presenting the 7th Annual John Dengate Get Together ONLINE on Sunday 30th August 

A message from Dale Dengate;

2020. What a year!

So many people have asked me what do you think John would be writing now if he were still among us? Evidence from previous works would indicate that people who denied climate change and mishandled the country while it was aflame would have been called out in no uncertain terms. Politicians and leaders of other countries , who have displayed egotistical, self-centred ignorance,’ who postured and strutted just like Mussolini’ would have received colourful criticism.

Fortunately, there are many who still relate to John’s songs or verse or have written their own song or words inspired by John’s legacy.

Although we are cancelling a physical gathering in 2020, we are organising an online concert for Sunday 30th August - hope to 'see' you there.  

Cheers,

Dale

Further details on the John Dengate Online Get Together will follow, but in the meantime I can advise the event will include;
- a live ZOOM/video call with people performing John's songs and poems
- an accompanying playlist of submitted videos from those who can't join us live

- several updates to the John Dengate Collection Website in the leadup to the day
- perhaps a couple of other surprises

The online event will be available for you to either participate in, or just watch from the comfort of your home, or perhaps in a small, physically distanced gathering.

If you would like to participate either live, or via video - please reply to let me know and I will send you further information.
For those who don't have experience using online video calls or ZOOM, or with recording a video - fear not! I will be able to give you instructions on how to take part, and we will do a couple of tests to make sure we are all au fait, as they say.

Further details will be updated onto this blog page, and this Facebook Event page.
