There are still a few tickets left for the performance of Dead Men Talking this Saturday, August 1, at the Millthorpe Public School Hall.

This 90-minute stage musical, which has been playing to packed houses across Australia, celebrates the lives of two of our most famous poets and writers, Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson.

It brings together two performers renowned in their own areas.

Max Cullen, who plays Lawson, has been acting on stage and screen since the days of Skippy, and is the holder of numerous awards including a Logie. Paterson is played by Warren Fahey, the country's leading folklorist, who has 30 books, a record label and a wealth of knowledge about early Australian bush traditions to his name.

The actors, who have great insight and love of their characters and the period through which they lived, will stay on stage after the show for a Q & A session, and will be available to talk with during supper.

The performance begins at 7pm and tickets are on sale at $25 a head from the General Store, the School and Roger Ellis on 0418 650 420.

Funds raised are going to the Nepal Disaster Fund.

Pym Street Markets booming

Pym Street Markets are on this Saturday from 9am to 1am. You'll find them on the block beside the General Store in Pym Street.

The monthly Markets, held regularly every first Saturday of the month, have become increasingly popular both with stall-holders and shoppers.

There's now a noticeable extra buzz in Pym Street each Saturday that they're on.

One reason for this is that the stalls are chosen so as to provide something different to the existing retailers in town.

For more information or to book stall space, call Elwyn or Matt Lang on 0429 721 266.
