What they are saying (1996)

Letters to the Editor:

Dear Shirley,

Thank you for your continued support for Michael Gant. The exposure in `Variety Today' is certainly paying off for Michael. Since advertising in the magazine and appearing in several write ups about the Wallace Awards Michael has been booked by major clubs interstate. I always ask where they have found Michael's name and most times they refer to Variety Today. Thanks again for a wonderful magazine. It can only bring us all bigger and better things.

- Barbara Marsh (Gant), BG Promotions

Dear Shirley,

Thank you for your wonderful coverage of Beauty and the Beast which was well received by all. As you are aware, Disney's BEAUTY and the BEAST is now coming to the end of its Melbourne season and will perform the last show on August 11, 1996 at 2pm. I look forward to catching up in the near future.

- Jennifer Hickey, Disney's Beauty and the Beast

Dear Shirley,

On arriving home from Gold Coast Bulletin Editor, John Burton's farewell (where we caught up after so very many years), I made a point of perusing your recent edition of Variety Today. It is certainly a quality production of which you can be justifiably proud as Managing Editor. Congratulations on an excellent effort Shirl. You have proved yourelf and battled on so well since your old Daily News (Murwillumbah) days. With all good wishes for your continued success.

- Wallace Baird, Former General Manager Daily News, Murwillumbah

Dear Shirley,

I received the copy of Variety Today this morning and congratulations is due. It looks wonderful. Thank you on behalf of the Queensland Recording Industry for the terrific spread on the Sunnie Awards. The photos look great and the article was perfect. It was good to see some of the winners advertising as well. The Brisbane World Record Studio's advertisement is also perfect. The colours are exactly what I had in mind. Please pass my praise on to the rest of your team. Once again thank you for your endless support.

Dear Shirley,

I've just received my copy of Variety Today and thought I'd drop a line to say how proud you should be of your work. My advertisement is excellent, and on behalf of all Queensland-based recording acts, the story ont he 1995-96 Sunnies is much appreciated. Thanks also for the unexpected mention in `On the Record' - that was very thoughtful of you I must say. I've just returned from my New Zealand trip (to their national country music festival in Gore), and had a great time - despite the cold. It's good to kinow that while I was there, you were here helping with my career. Keep up the fine work, and I'll keep you up to date with my progress. And even more importantly, I'll try spreading the word about your publication - it deserves every success.

- Mark Tempany, Stormfront Productions

Dear Shirley,

Please find enclosed by annual subscription renewal. I was very saddened to read about Graham Webb's wife, Tina. Please pass on my thoughts to him. I was fortunate to be one of the regulars on Blind Date. Hate to think how many years ago.
