Could have danced all night...

IS THAT YOU in the photo dancing the night away at the Barcy Centenary Ball of '86? If so, you are the sort of funloving person Bullring Music needs to enter the In Vino; Veritas competion. Simply send in your anecdote of your favourite western experience or story.

But you better keep an eye on the Countdown gadget as time is running out. Could you ever forgive yourself for missing out in a bottle of that fine drop - Gully Gang Red?

No.

We will be putting entries (with approval) at random in the comments facility of the contest post - check out the gripping story there already which involves a great chase, fine police work and a hint of influence of high office on the law. All that and the bullring as well.

It is a RIPPER of a story, with a happy ending.

See if you are in the photo, courtesy of Australasian Post, and if you are, we know you will have some great stories to tell. It should blow up if you click on it.

(Geshie - that is you in the background isn't it?)

RELEASE OF GULLY GANG RED

Yes bloggers it has arrived...

...and what a truly great drop it is. Just like the Gully Gang this vin rouge will knock you down, but it won't let you down. The power of the shiraz blends beautifully with the insipid merlot, leading to a delectable sensation on the palette and crisp finish that both blokes and sheilas will enjoy. (Click on pics for a good look)

[Bullring Music hastens to add that this drop comes from a renowned Australian winemaker and is not in any way associated with the Pineapple Wine made by Roy the Boy from Yalleroi in the late 70s. Furthermore, Roy the Boy from Yalleroi WAS NOT involved in any way with the production of Gully Gang Red.]

GREAT NEWS: A bottle of this magnificent drop could be yours just by entering Bullring Music's In Vino Veritas Competition.

Simply send an email to In Vino Veritas Competition (error with this link now fixed) detailing your most memorable/favourite experience in the Central West. Only 2 rules in this competition:

1. MUST be a true story

2. MUST be written while drinking a red wine or other alcoholic beverage, and after a significant amount has been drunk.

Could be about any event, and if you feel photos add to your story you can send them as well. Competition closes on Sunday 10 June so be quick.

Remember The Rubber Band?

The Rubber Band...the original central western fab 4.

Were they the BEST band of sixties?....these birds from Charleville certainly thought so in this pleading fan letter to GO-SET Magazine.

Remember bloggers - No need to waste your precious ink cartridges printing these off - they will appear, with many, many, many more snippets, photos and interesting memorabillia in the forthcoming and eagerly awaited book to the Bullring Music CD..
