Re: Newcastle Gang Show 1998

Hi Simon

Australia Also has Gang Shows, the Most well known one is the Melbourne Gang
Show. I believe that New Zealand has them as well.

Ralf Reader first started Gang Shows way back when, and in Australia we have
a policy of including several songs written by Ralph Reader in Every Gang
Show that is performed in Australia. I myself have participated in 5.

See ya

and Ted Potts and know that newcastle is the 3rd oldest Gang show in existence.
