SMILES ALL ROUND AT 2024 BUSH BALLAD BASH
It was smiles all around for Caitlyn Jamieson and Alisha Smith (pictured above) for the 2024 Jammo’s Bouldy Bush Ballad Bash held in Bouldercombe from 13-19 May. The Bash was named in memory of Keith Jamieson (Caitlyn’s father and Alisha’s partner). While many of the “bash-goers” hailed from Central and North Queensland, there was a good representation of people from New South Wales Victoria and Tasmania. “It’s been really great,” she said, “I couldn’t ask for a better event.” The Bouldercombe Recreation grounds resembled a caravan park with more than 130 vans and motor homes parked in the grounds for the full week. The week started with walk-up performers, bingo and an old time dance and finished with the Bush Poets’ Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday with renown Bush Poets Gary Fogarty and Ray Essery. As well as the bush poetry, musical acts included Alisha Smith, Caitlyn Jamieson, Rick Gay, Kylie Castle, John Batley and family, Buddy Thomson and Lynne Bennett and Brian Letton.
