Articles about John 

Hello friends, family and fans of John Dengate,

Unbelievably, is our 13th edition of the John Dengate Memorial Get Together, as we mark 14 years since John left us. 

This year we have an in-person concert on Sunday 9 August at Thirroul Railway Hall.

The event will kick off at 2pm with a welcome from Dale Dengate, and wind down at 5pm.

Performers include: ‘Don't Be Too Polite Girls’ (Dale Dengate, Kerith Power & Molly Jane Ellis), Jason & Chloe Roweth, Russell Hannah and Leyne Elbourne.

I hope you can join us once again to pay tribute to John and his hilarious, cutting and inspirational repertoire of satirical songs and poems.

For those that can’t make it, please do send a video to add to the YouTube playlist, website and post-event message to the mailing list.

Find below full details on the event and reserving your spot to play.

Please see attached the flyer for the show (in A4, A5 and A4 ‘tear-off’). Feel free to share online, and print if you are heading anywhere Dengate-inclined.

Looking forward to catching up with everyone who can make it along!

The Bush Music Club archive of John Dengate event blogs, photos, song lyrics and more. Created by Sandra Nixon, it’s such a treasure trove, with items like the 3-part Chris Woodland collection of songs and poems John sent to Chris over the years, and these photos from the 2012 launch of John Dengate's 3rd book - “Songs, Poems, Satires & Shouts All The Way”.
