Launched at two concerts in the Blue Mountains the DVD Man of Many Hats is now available. It features one of Greg's live performances including his amazing rendition of Banjo Paterson's The Man From Snowy River in 14 different accents plus original rhyming verse, yarns, interviews and out-takes all captured on video.
As Greg acts out each poem, he literally “lives” each
character. He really does become the little boy at the footy
match, or Grandma complaining about her aches and pains, or the city
dude with his doof-doof music and “fully sick” ute.
The DVD contains over 2 hours and 25 hats worth of fun with a touch of
serious poetry as well as performances from special guests Pat Drummond
and Frank Daniel.
