Tenterfield

Don't adjust your sound. There IS none until about the 1 minute mark. Then enjoy Damien Leith singing Tenterfield Saddler, written and made famous by Peter Allen (of Broadway fame). The saddlery still exists, but unfortunately I didn't have time to call by and show you the site or meet the current saddler.

I love Damien Leith and I have always liked his rendition of this supurb song.

Is this the version he sang at the Australia Day concert 2007 where he also became an Australian citizen?

What a great video showing off beautiful Tenterfield.

Well done.

I think it may have been that version. If you follow the links that I put somewhere you will see him singing it!

It was cold as charity, Klaus! Hahahaha

I didn't know who had written this song, had only heard the Olivia Newton John version before this. Damien Leith does a good job with it, his delivery reminds me of a young, mellow Billy Joel. Thanks for another educational experience.

And doesn't Libby do a fantastic version! :-)

Thanks for the comment!

Well, Andy .... Peter Alan wrote the song about the town - where he grew up! :-)

[outbacktraveller58]

Apparantly he was relatively famous in New York/Broadway. How should I know? I am not into that genre of music/musicals! Hahahahaha

Thanks, Jack. I thought I responded to all these comments! Old timers disease come early!

Nope, never heard of him. But that was to be expected, right?

However, I liked the song and thanks for sharing the video.
