DESCRIPTION:Image Credit: Geoffrey Dunn\nFred Smith\, the first Australian 
 diplomat sent to work alongside Australian soldiers in Uruzgan Province\, 
 is seen by many as the unofficial storyteller of Australia’s involvement i
 n Afghanistan.\nHis song\, “The Dust of Uruzgan” is universally hailed as 
 an outstanding piece of work\, taking its place in the Australian pantheon
  of war songs alongside “I Was Only 19” and “The Band Played Waltzing Mati
 lda”.\nIn 2020\, Smith went back to Afghanistan when Kabul fell under Tali
 ban control. He worked from Kabul International Airport (KIA) until August
  2021 on Australia’s mission to evacuate passport and visa holders.\nA son
 gwriter of rare ability and a compelling storyteller\, Fred Smith has blen
 ded his stories and songs into an impressive concert and song-cycle called
  “The Sparrows of Kabul”.\nIt’s a vivid\, personal account of Australia’s 
 20 year involvement in Afghanistan and marks the culmination of Fred Smith
 ’s noted storytelling on Australia’s longest war.\nFor this tour Fred is c
 ollaborating with 4 regional Queensland artists – Karen Law – vocals (Suns
 hine Coast)\, Rob Mackay – guitar (Hervey Bay)\, Murray Law (Sunshine Coas
 t) and Tex Austin (Bundaberg).\n \nTour Dates 2024\n \nSunPAC\nSaturday 17
