The social evening will be held on Tuesday, December 8^th, 5:30 for 6pm at the Comfort Inn Regal Park, 44 Barton Terrace E, North Adelaide

 Social Evening with John Hendrickson

Myponga: 3 days of music, mud, and memories that have lasted a lifetime

Our own John Hendrickson was involved in the planning and running of the Myponga pop festival in late January 1971, and has agreed to tell us everything (well…. almost everything) at our next social evening.

Although Hendo did suggest a pop quiz to select the audience, we negotiated that registration will be first-come first serve, but do expect to answer questions such as “What was Ozzy Osborne’s hair color in 1971?” on the evening. If you need more time to bone up on your music history and miss out on the evening, we are exploring of holding another event in January.
