Lee to appear at Smoky tribute

12-03-08

Despite a distant prior engagement, Lee is determined to pay tribute to his old friend Smoky. After a headline performance earlier in the evening at the National Rugby League launch in Nowra on the NSW south coast, Lee will travel direct to Castle Hill arriving in time to appear on the tribute stage and close the show. Lee has always expressed his admiration for Smoky who, he said, was an inspiring man who had given so much to so many.

The full artist line-up for the concert (as of Monday), in alphabetical order, is James Blundell, Adam Brand, Beccy Cole, Graeme Connors, Johnny Chester, Lorrae Desmond, Clair Hayes, Jim Haynes, The Howie Brothers, Gina Jeffreys, Pixie Jenkins, Lee Kernaghan, Normie Rowe, Melinda Schneider, Mary Schneider, Rita Schneider, Johnny Tapp, "Bud" Tingwell and John Williamson.

Personalities Nick Erby, Ray Hadley, John Kerr, John Laws, Ray Martin, Colin Munro, Dick Smith and Michael Willesee will also appear.

The Adventures Of Smoky Dawson... A Life Remembered will be held on what would have been Smoky’s 95th birthday, Wednesday, March 19, 2008, at 7.30pm. It will be staged in the Hills Performing Arts Centre in Carrington Avenue, Castle Hill, Sydney.
