Well! It's May again, and with the rain comes Country Music. Or is it vice versa. I can't ever really tell. Anywho, it doesn't matter because guess what ? Yep. The marquee is up! Yay.
Here she is. We haven't had the marquee for some five years, so it was great to see the great white hulk, sitting there again, obviously waiting for the party
Did's is Vice President which is a little more full on than usual, because Jos, the President, is off island for medical reasons. He's pretty much an all-rounder when it comes to the Country Music Festival. He gets his little paws into everything. Jackie Pye has been there for the whole twenty years. Yep. Started at age 6 !
And these people don't just have titles. They hit the decks running and don't stop until the Festival is well over
George Douran is in charge of decorating the hall this year. Did's said he wanted a tropical theme. Well. How's this then. The marquee looks amazing. Trust George. She's sprayed some agave cactus with gold paint, and it looks fantastic.
Trent was quietly having a couple of things to say ~ Hah ~ Quietly! Trent! I don't think so Horace. He was bellowing out as usual, his indignation at Gaylene stuffing his ride with rubbish. She was only trying to help.
The stage area and Mrs Pye, still nursing her laundry basket, which moments before was overflowing with brilliant red croton
Checking that the job's done right
Fan palms, front to back to create a stunning natural wheel display
Gae listening to see if the baby's turned
The walkway for the artists to get on stage
an empty bar ~~ at the moment! It'll soon be chockers
Close ups of the walkway,
stage, and
inside seating.
The bar, right inside the door for easy peasy access
Morg, Rossco and Dids, testing the set up and checking that everything's A~okay. Well done yorlyi.
Unless you've set up one of these things, I don't think anyone understands the incredible amount of work that goes into putting on the Norfolk Island Country Music Festival. It's absolutely full on, and you all deserve medals.
It's the 20th year and it's a birthday celebration. Happy Birthday yorlyi. Have a good one!
