Last night we were in the centre of town for our first of three
Thursdays in Bush Walk and there was a great family feel with many young people
in the audience to see the excellent Pauly Zarb.
Known by the people of Wokingham in particular by his performances this year at the Jubilee celebrations. He performed in the town during the Big Lunch and on the main stage for the Big Gig on the sunday. While not a Wokingham native he moved to Wokingham with his family after a number of years in the USA and has taken Wokingham to his heart.
Pauly played a number of his own songs as well as the classic "Waltzing Matilda" and the family favourite “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”. He was also accompanied by his daughter who proved she is as much a showman as her dad, dancing through his entire set much to the delight of the crowd.
