St Judes Recital 5-11-2023

‘ DOG TALES ‘ is a show for children set around the piano duets of Ann Carr-Boyd, all about the adventures of a small black poodle who loves to travel and have lots of fun ‘

Percy is appearing in person at his very own show in the Dougherty Community Centre in Chatswood on April 1^st, 2023 and in the Berrima Village Hall on April 15^th, 2023.’

A kid’s show where you can make friends with the cutest little dog ever as he learns about life in the big wide world

Live in the moment with Percy the little black dog as he explores his environment, tests the unknown and meets some friendly, and not so friendly, folks along the way. He’s not so different from little humans. He learns that the world is a confusing place – sometimes to be brave is to confront your own fear, other times caution is the better way, that it’s nice to help people, and much else. And of course, he loves playing with his toys, running around and just being Percy. Join in with Percy and share the joy.

 

Show runs for 35 minutes. Suitable for ages 2 – 6

April 15 at 1 pm and 3 pm.

Berrima Village Hall, Argyle Street, Berrima

Carmel Vowles – Feedback from the conceert

Thankyou for the opportunity to be a part of this beautiful concert … and to have the composer in our midst was lovely gift.

It was wonderful to see so many people attending and such an enthusiastic response to the beautiful compositions and artists performing. … really wonderful.

Having this gift also offered the opportunity to offer a ticket to a person whose husband has died recently and since has moved into this area.  To  BE in a beautiful space and her now enthusiasm and keenness to attend more concerts has planted a germinating ‘seed’.

Thankyou for benefiting the community through your publications for soulful and uplifting opportunities and experiences and especially for this gift today.

In gratitude,

Carmel

Comments re portrait of John Martin launch at 55 Merrigang Street, 15th March 2021:

From Alyson Broadfoot :
Had a sleep in today. And woke to photos.  All very festive. But the best is your likeness of John. Would love to have seen the texture of the real thing. I think you have beautifully and cleverly captured his active personality and energy. Well done!!! A portrait is such a brave medium. Into the Archibald??
X Alyson

From Amanda Pile :
Hi Ann, I just wanted to thank you and Peter for last night – it was indeed an occasion to celebrate !  I think the painting is wonderful  –  you have captured John’s unique humour, quirkiness, creativity and intelligence.  Again so much generosity on your behalf, so thank you.

From Adrian Wintle ( Wagga ) :
Oh wow! Don’t know how you do it! I mean, capturing John’s quirkish sense of humour. Makes this portrait so much more than a mere likeness – it’s a piece of living tissue. May I add, both you and John look very relaxed and happy. Great stuff!
