Geoffrey provides some choices in presentation at agricultural show
* Compere/MC:
Geoffrey is an experienced compere, presenter, main ring segments etc.
If required, he could also be called upon to perform in other places
at the show e.g. Centre ring in between other acts. (For a short segment) or even impersonating 'Banjo' Paterson and performing the 'The Man from Snowy River' complete with stockwhip.
* Stage Entertainment or spots
Geoffrey can adapt his entertainment to do performances throughout the day.
This could be in a marquee with stage area, PA and seating for the audience or it could be in a smaller space such as a historical display
area. The target audience can range from children/adults to family groups.
* Kids Entertainment
If you have a
special kids area, Geoffrey can provide entertainment for kids with a heritage flavour, to include everything from nursery rhymes (Aussie style) to stockwhip demonstrations.
* Site Entertainment
A unique Australiana set-up which Geoffrey pioneered in Queensland in 2006.
Geoffrey - the 'old timer'- coaxes passers-by to rest while he regales them with yarns, verse and songs using instruments like
guitar, accordion, harmonica etc
He is surrounded by early Australian paraphernalia from rabbit traps, billy and swag to stockwhips and harness.
Audiences, on chairs or hay bales, are entertained for minutes or hours, often requesting favourites or Geoffrey's original works.
The emphasis is on more intimate contact, entertaining families and smaller groups for short periods; rather than the larger theatrical stage
presentations Geoffrey usually performs around Australia,
Material ranges from original to traditional including Paterson, Lawson, Ogilvie, O'Brien etc as well as a range of Australian songs. Songs and verse
can range in topic from local input (characters and events) to Australian heritage such as the goldfields, wool industry, convicts, bushrangers etc; all adding a uniqueness to your show.

Geoffrey becomes 'Banjo' Paterson or 'Bill Baloney' the Swaggie to rove
and mingle in the appropriate situations, bringing a touch of authenticity to your show Details
