THE BACKYARD BALLADEER
From his home base in Sawtell on the north coast of NSW, singer/songwriter and teller of tall stories, ERROL GRAY travels Australia with his one man show THE BACKYARD BALLADEER. With his acoustic guitar, stompbox, harmonica and a distinctly Aussie sense of humour, ERROL has his audience cracking up with songs and the occasional bush poem about everyday situations that happen to us all. With song titles like WORKING FOR CENTRELINK, THEY WONDER WHY YOU DRINK, JUST LET IT RIP and TURDULENCE (The Dreaded Bedpan) I'm sure you get the idea.
Scroll down the page and have a look at the video which will take you to ERROL'S YouTube page where you can check out some more clips and if you like what you see and hear, you can even buy a CD or two. If you have any queries just give ERROL a call on the number below or shoot him off an email.

BACKYARD BLURB AUGUST, 2017
It's been a busy month, but I'll be taking it a bit easier this month.
Apart from my usual monday evenings at Bonny Hills, we're taking the Avan out to Lightning Ridge for a bit of a holiday. While I'm there I'll be playing at the sunday markets and a guest spot or two with Mel and Susie at the Opal Caravan Park.
I've still got a few more songs to write for my new album and I'm still working on my book. I think I might have the book out before the album. I'll keep you posted.
And don't forget if you're travelling up or down the east coast, make sure you call in to the Ingenia Holiday Park (formerly Big 4) at Bonny Hills where I perform my happy hour show every monday from 5pm.
Keep smiling!
