6.30 pm start.

Musos – Names on Blackboard if you want a Spot on the Night.

FINE FOOD. GRAND COMPANY. MUSIC TOO MOTLEY TO MISS.

$3 entry with funds going to Local Charities.

THE TRAVELLING GRANNIES.

This month sees long time supporters of the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter, THE TRAVELLING GRANNIES, commencing fund raising activities . I don’t know the TRAVELLING GRANNIES but I spotted the article in the DAILY EXAMINER  and they sound worthy of support. They are due to set out on a horse riding excursion from KARANGI to COUTTS CROSSING on 28 AUGUST ‘09. Music Cafe this week with Izzy as M.C. starts off the money raising. What a Great Combo – a terrific service in the WESPTAC RESCUE HELICOPTER and  a unique way to raise funds.

PASTA. PASTA. PASTA. Peter has Pasta on the menu this month. One thing suits Iz and the Chick very well and that’s the Emporium’s vegetarian options. They are DELICIOUS, NEVER DULL and ENORMOUS. For the carnivores, the same credo applies. DELICIOUS. NEVER DULL. ENORMOUS. Forgot to mention – WELL WITHIN THE BUDGET.

BYO BEVERAGES.

BOOKINGS: CALL ANNIE OR PETER 6643 3524

FRIDAY 31 JULY 09: MURWILLUMBAH JAZZ CLUB AT GREENHILLS WITH KEL AND SCRUBBY IN THE JAZZ CANARIES.

IZZY BEGINS SOME SERIOUS NORTH COAST TOURING

At age 60, Izzy is on the Road. This weekend he played LUFFLEY at Murbah, stayed with his mate, Scrubby, out in the hills and rehearsed with LILY WHITE from BEECHMONT. Then the HILLBILLY BLUES BANDITS headed into LENNOX HEAD to play at the Pub. 9pm.- midnight. Izzy hopped on his trike and headed home to the Clarence down the Pacific Highway.

He stopped in for some nourishment at WOODBURN, the allnight cafe town, and met up with the security crew from LENNOX POINT, then found himself in the Winter Mists along the River Flats. Ah! The life of the Wandering Minstrel ! 3.am. homecoming and then the first knock at the door of FOREALTY TOWERS.  A Sunday Morning Visit from the DOCS DISASTER RECOVERY TEAM.

Well, said Iz , Bertha the Fridge was lost in the muddy waters. A few forms filled in and photos taken by the extremely delightful Disaster Recovery Girls and Izzy just might be refrigerating his food once more.

IZZY ON THE CLARENCE

Foreal Enterprises have now relocated to the Clarence River NSW. The relocation did manage to coincide with the Major Flood of 2009 which threatened their new premises and led to isolation by dark and muddy waters for a week. Izzy was unable to peform at the Greenmount Gig in Coolangatta with Scrubby ( BLIND WILLIE WAGTAIL) and missed two LUFFLEY Gigs despite a valiant effort to reach the 2nd one via the SUMMERLAND WAY. ________________ The gig he has been able to cross flooded waters and reach is the MUSIC CAFE at the EMPORIUM in SOUTH GRAFTON. Not a bad way to be welcomed to a new community. No cash involved but Iz says he’s being paid in cosmic tender. Music Cafe charges $3 entry and that $3 goes to one local charity each month. Izzy also says that its a good way to absorb the Grafton Musical Culture and begin to see where he might fit. Music Cafe covers an age range from schoolkids to elders and a wide  musical spectrum including harpists, rockers, rhythm and blues, banjo, novices, loonies, folk and one powerful rendition of Hallelujah by a young woman with an enviable voice and persona. Its on again next month – the last Thursday . 02 66 433525

MUSIC CAFE NIGHT AT THE EMPORIUM SOUTH GRAFTON “ You’re a very good singer” said one young lady.
