Bush Poets Breakfast
Start your morning right with the BUSH POET’S BREAKFAST
Join Host Marco Gliori as he presents another series of hilarious mornings, featuring Muz Hartin (the bloke who wrote the modern classics Turbulence and Rain From Nowhere) and Bill Kearns the internet sensation with his live U-Tube hits that have captured audiences world-wide. These three characters will have you rolling in the aisles, wiping away the odd tear, and reveling in the campfire atmosphere and mate-ship that The Outback Festival has become famous for.
The hugely popular Bush Poets Breakfast will run for three mornings:
- Thursday 26 September
- Friday 27 September
- Saturday 28 September
Start time: Breakfast will be served between 7.00am & 8:30am, followed shortly by a cowbell signalling the start of the show
Venue: Winton Shire Hall/Courtyard, Vindex Street, Winton
For catering purposes, it will be helpful if you pre-purchase your Bush Poet’s Breakfast ticket
Meet the Poets
Marco Gliori
Marco is one of Australia’s most popular contemporary poets and story-tellers, gathering humorous verse and anecdotes from his travels around Australia. A Darling Downs boy, Marco grew up playing Rugby League, became a Queensland Detective, decided to go straight, (so he jokes) and has gone on to become one of the most sought-after spoken presenters at Festivals around Australia. He brings communities together through his presentations, featuring the best Poets this country has to offer.
Muz Hartin
The son of a farmer and grazier, a mad Rugby Union halfback who has featured prominently on Australian Radio and television. Both John Laws, and Alan Jones have sworn by Muz and his classic poems like Turbulence, ‘Buck you Bastard Buck!’ and his spine-tingling ‘Rain from Nowhere’ depicting depression in rural Australia.
Bill Kerns
Bill is a You-Tube sensation himself with his live performance of ‘Entrapment’ registering hundreds of thousands of views world wide. His hilarious poems have struck a chord with audiences of all ages, featuring collapsible picnic chairs, chook raffles, and pensioners unwittingly arriving at a Swingers Club. You can guess the rest.
A Poets Brawl
You can enter! The final breakfast on Saturday morning (23 September) will feature The Poets Brawl where Campers (that’s you) have written a Poem that lasts no more than 60 seconds. Join in the fun for free with entries open upon arrival. Read or recite your poem based upon the topic of… Anything you want! Entrants will be judged on the audience applause. (Make ‘em laugh!) The funniest poet will take out the top prize of an Outback Festival Souvenir survival pack!
