Now and Then

Rollin Back (Butler/Burkys)

"Plainsong" Tony Burkys/Mark Butler (APRA). Uncle Bob's Band Recorded at Richmond Recorders, 1976, with Dave Flett producing. Personnel: Terry Darmody, Bob McGowan, Warwick Kennington, John Taylor, Keith Shadwick and with Peter Martin guesting on acoustic guitar. My favourite version of one of my favourite songs.

Plainsong

"Darling Street" Tony Burkys/Mark Butler (APRA) Every Sydney songwriter needs a song about Balmain. This is ours, of which I am inordinately proud. From Tony's Heavy Mettle. Tony plays everything and there is a cameo by his son mark to play it out.
