HAPPY New Year to you all and a happy 70th birthday to Bill Stephens.
Today is the big day but in the season of partying hard the family chose to have the celebration for Bill a couple of days before.

With the tinkling of ivories from Tony Magee in the background, the Hyatt was a cool oasis for a party that gathered friends, relatives and colleagues for the man who is a constant on the Canberra theatre scene and always generous with his knowledge, constructive criticism and support for a wide range of events.
It wouldn’t be an opening without the always sartorial Bill and his poised and perfect Pat. Their days with The School of Arts Cafe in Queanbeyan, gave exposure to local, interstate and international cabaret artists and an intimate environment for the audience.
It’s missed, but Bill is still influential in his own way, most recently handling a cast of hundreds for the smooth running of the Carols by Candlelight at Norwood Park.
