Pease pass on The Dengate family and my thanks to all the performers who spent the afternoon recalling yarns, sharing verse and performing songs. His memories still lives on strongly.

From Leyne  5.1.24

Hello friends,

I can't quite believe we are already into 2024! I remember watching the TV show 'Beyond 2000' back in the early 90s and thinking that even the year 2000 was forever away!

You know what else I can't believe??? I HAVN'T SENT YOU ALL THE LINK TO THE ZOOM VIDEO OF OUR 10TH JOHN DENGATE GET TOGETHER!!!!

Lovely Sandra and I were emailing and I realised what a buffoon I have been. My plan was to send along with an update of new content on the collection website, but then because I didn't finish making the changes - I didn't send around the link! It has been on YouTube since the day after the event!

Many apologies! But at least I can send you a late Christmas present!

HERE IT IS: https://youtu.be/pIN757x2u0k?si=49VX-gakyA6WO8et

And as a bonus! Here is the video of the beautiful song Doug Jenner sent over for the event that I couldn't get to work during the ZOOM.
The song was written by John in 1991 but you probably haven't heard it before!
Set to the tune of "The Old Palmer Song / Ten Thousand Miles Away", Doug is playing the song with his mates Nigel Hyams and Richard Stewart.

Here's the link:

Enjoy & stay tuned for further updates to the website

Thank you,
