“The Streakers of Poetry Bay” comprise two poets and a singer/song writer who span three generations — Gen X, Boomers, & Millennials — and hail from Streaky Bay. Each has a distinctive ‘voice’ addressing varied subject matter. Compositions range from the lyrical, through serious, irreverent, romantic, satirical, whimsical and bawdy. They perform individually and together, linking their material with good-humoured banter into which the audience is occasionally invited.
The Streakers arose soon after Nick Carroll (Boomer), performing and creative artist, retired with his wife to Streaky Bay in 2022. Nick met Scott Mepham, (Gen X), registered nurse and a life-long poet, with a Collection already published. Through poetry they found immediate rapport. A little later Jesse Giles (Millennial), born in Streaky Bay, IT/Audio Technician, and self-taught musician, joined and soon the generation gaps began closing. Their inaugural performance at Streaky in February 2024 was a surprising success.
