Last night our bookclub travelled to Brisbane to listen to Paul Kelly in conversation with QTC artistic director Wesley Enoch about How to Make Gravy A memoir in songs at HI-FI in West End.
We had a pleasant surprise when he sang 3 songs apart from talking about the book, one of them with Kev Carmody. Altogether an unforgettable night!
