Book launch to feature piano performances

Pearl Beach paediatric psychologist Dr John Irvine will launch his new book 80 Stories High at the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall on Sunday, July 28, from 2.30pm.

The book launch will take the form of a conversation between Dr Irvine and Central Coast Conservatorium musical director Mr Patrick Brennan, with guest performances by Central Coast Conservatorium piano students.

Dr Irvine has had a lifetime connection with Pearl Beach.

His new book is promoted as "a reassuring collection of stories of ordinary kids, colleagues, parents, grandparents and celebrities achieving extraordinary outcomes for those they love with incredible humour, humility, kindness, forgiveness, resilience, faith and hope".

Dr Irvine said the stories were deliberately intended to be light, bright, reassuring and easily read.

He said the 80 stories in the book were an acknowledgement of his own 8o years.

The book will be available to purchase at $34.99 with all proceeds donated to the Dementia Association.

Tickets will cost $10, with bookings on 4344 2319 recommended.
