We are delighted to announce a special offer for all Australians to enjoy the talents of our very own Mr. Barry Crocker. In conjunction with his record label Blue Pie Productions www.bluepie.com.au we are pleased to advise that 20% of all sales of the ” Barry Meets Banjo” CD or digital downloads will go to Variety. We hope that you will download or purchase the CD through the following links.

Banjo Paterson was one Australia’s greatest poets and here we have Barry Crocker performing some of Australia’s most iconic poems. The poems are what Australia is all about. We are honoured to be able to bring this great offer to all the Variety supporters.

I am very pleased and honoured to have been able to give my support to the Variety Club of Australia. It has been a great privilege and joy being able to help those less fortunate in many of the great Variety events that have been held over the years.

When ever you purchase on line through the Barry Crocker Shop, 10% of all profits to to the Variety Club of Australia. They are a very worthy cause and if you can spare some time for them or if you have the ability to send them some money then I know that it will be put to good use. You can visit their website at www.variety.org.au

Thanks for taking the time to read this and to the many great people who work at the Variety Club a huge thankyou from all us here at Barry Crocker.net for the never ending great work that you do each and every day.

Thanks
Barry.
