Country & Western made a musical and poetic visit to suburban Petts Wood when members of the Croft Poetry Club saddled up and rode into the saloon bar of the Cafe Dolce Vita on 20th April. The sheriff started the proceedings by introducing everyone to Elvis Presley: after that we heard from Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Cole Porter, Jeannie C Riley, Elvis Costello and Bobby McGee. Self-composed work by Christine and Lisa added to the fun, with Trigger the horse enjoying a shoe-in and finally, a fitting musical tribute to 'A Four-Legged Friend'. Well done to all the visiting cowboys and cowgirls ... and nobody shot the sheriff!
