The beautifully juxtaposed 'Whiskey Before Breakfast/Temperance Reel' is from the album 'Caravan' which Sue Jarvis from Country Music Capital News describes as “Feast is the right word for this eclectic collection of music from some of the finest musicians in Australia – and probably the world. From classics to country. Irish folk to Australian classics, this album really does cover all the bases, and it does it brilliantly."

Whiskey Before Breakfast/Temperance Reel - Fiddlers Feast

From the album ‘Mrs Bottle’s (Absolutely Blurtingly Beautiful World-beating) Burp’.

MRS BOTTLE'S (absolutely blurtingly beautiful world-beating) BURP
CHORUS
Mrs Bottle's absolutely blurtingly beautiful world-beating Burp
Mrs Bottle's absolutely blurtingly beautiful world-beating Burp
Mrs Bottle's absolutely blurtingly beautiful world-beating Burp
If you can say it without a mistake
You probably won't get a belly-ache

VERSES
Mrs Bottle and Flat the cat
Lived in a house with two doors and a. mat
They grew really delicious food
But sometimes it forces out something rude

Mrs Bottle and Flat the cat
Had an adventure and she wore a hat
They got lost but they didn't fuss
Whipped out their instruments, started to busk

Mrs Bottle and Flat the cat
Sang at the Opera, suddenly Splat!
All the people went flying around
When they got wind of a terrible sound

Mrs Bottle and Flat the cat
Went to a fair in Japan and came back
Their friends were waiting to say gidday
And she greeted them in the usual way

Mrs Bottle’s (Absolutely Blurtingly Beautiful World-beating) Burp

Mrs Bottle's (absolutely blurtingly beautiful world-beating)Burp - Robyn Archer

From the album ‘Mrs Bottle’s (Absolutely Blurtingly Beautiful World-beating) Burp’.

CRAZY VEGETABLES
I like those crazy vegetables,
crazy vegetaoles.
The ones with crazy names
I like to eat 'em cooked, I like to eat 'em raw
And when I finish gobbling I yell ‘More More
More!’
I like those crazy vegetables,
crazy vegetables,
They always taste so good
And people say to me 'Hey kid are you crazy?'
No! I just like crazy food

Who put the choke on the artichoke
Who made 'em look so weird?
Who put the sweet into the old sweetcorn
and gave it such a silly yellow beard?
Who put the barb into the rhubarb?
Who gave it that red stain?
And who put the beat into the old beetroot
So we could beat it back again
How many paws does a paw-paw have?
Why is a fruit called jack?
Who put the custard into custard apples
And why don't they put it back?
Who put the pommie in the pomegranate?
Who put the stones in peacherines?
And if you took the go out of the old mango
How would it know where it had been?

I like those crazy fruits,
crazy fruits,
The ones with crazy names
I like 'em in salad, I like 'em plain
And when I finish gobbling 'Again! Again! Again!'
I like those crazy vegetables,
crazy vegetables,
They always taste so good
And people say to me 'Hey kid are you crazy?'
No! I just like crazy food

Crazy Vegetables

Crazy Vegetables - Robyn Archer

From the album notes...

A set of Circassian Circle dances. Snailbox is a composition by Léo inspired by the continuous traditional music in Morvan, created at night when the music never stops and inspiration strikes. It is matched with Lucy's, a composition by Christian Maes. 

James: Percussion
Léo: Diatonic accordion (D-G)
Carissa: Guitar
George: Bass

The Last Aurochs

Snailbox / Lucy's

From the album notes...

Originally written by Humberto Teixeira and Luiz Gonzaga. We fell in love with this tune after doing a collaboration with Sydney-based Choro band, Jozinho. The lyrics are about losing cattle to drought, and in a time of climate crisis it couldn’t be more relevant in today’s Australia.
We mix Asa Branca with Sabeliña, a composition by the brilliant Galician gaiteira, Susana Seivane.

James: Flute, percussion
Léo: Diatonic accordion (C-G)
Carissa: Guitar
João: Gaita galega (C)
George: Bass

Asa Branca / Sabeliña

From the album notes...

Valse à Janelle, as performed by Ciac Boum, is a perfect match between major and minor that Léo has played in many countries. Valse du Mont is a composition by Bernard Jacquemin that juggles with keys.

James: Boehm-system flute, percussion
Léo: Diatonic accordion (D-G)
Carissa: Guitar
George: Bass

Valse À Janelle / Valse Du Mont

From the album notes...

We learned Gedachten (also known as The Sussex Cotillion) from a belgian band called Wör, during their tour of Australia. We heard them at the National Folk Festival and the tune stuck with us. We follow it with Grand Wood Reversed Into My Dad’s Fence, an amazing composition by Hamish Napier.

James: Boehm-system flute, percussion
Léo: Diatonic accordion (D-G)
Carissa: Guitar
George: Bass

Gedachten / Grant Wood Reversed Into My Dad's Fence

From the album notes...

A couple of Portuguese tunes on the Portuguese gaita. This bagpipe in particular has several culturally significant elements. The chanter was designed by Sons da Música, which is heavily inspired by traditional piper Juan Prieto Ximeno’s own bagpipes. The drone is part of a family heirloom bagpipe built by Manuel Sampedro of Travanca, a small town in the north of Portugal, whose remaining parts are in a museum as the only surviving specimen of that maker. Our arrangements are a ‘shout out' to Joāo’s time as a bagpipe student, and his patient instructors, as well as the Lisbon based bagpipe scene and bands like Roncos do Diabo and Dazkarieh. Jota Carvalhesa, a love song, is followed by Antigo Baile Agarrado, a traditional couples dance tune.

James: Boehm-system flute, percussion
Léo: Diatonic accordion (D-G)
Carissa: Guitar
George: Bass
João: Gaita transmontana (Bb)

Jota Carvalhesa / Antigo Baile Agarrado

From the album notes...

An Ciarraioch Mallaithe is from a  song in Irish Gaelic about a woman cursing a man from Kerry, and isplayed as a slow air. It is followed by tunes from Asturias, the first a Fandangu (CT 331), and Saltón de Meres.

James: Simple-system flute
Léo: Diatonic accordion (D-G)
Carissa: Guitar
George: Bass

An Ciarraíoch Mallaithe / Fandangu / Saltón De Meres

From the album notes...

Back to Basics, a composition by Léo — “To go back to basics, it is important sometimes to remember what you do, where, when, and with whom to share to be able to understand who you truly are. Therefore, you won’t look for anything else other than what transcends you.” Le Pas du Loup, an ancient traditional dance tune from Massif Central played in French sessions.

James: Percussion
Léo: Diatonic accordion (D-G)

Back To Basics / Le Pas Du Loup

Mixed and produced by the renowned Steve James in London, ‘Silence and Dust’ is a heartfelt and timely reminder that we are all just passing through and our purpose is to learn and grow in our understanding of the world’s longest enduring civilisation – the Australian Aboriginal. “I know mate, it was always your Land – Always Was Always Will Be”. (Jimmy Bear)

Silence and Dust (3:42)

Verse 
I’m a traveller just passing through 
Do you mind if I sit here with you? 
And share your story shake your hand 
I know mate it was always your land 

With the smell of rain and the sound of thunder 
The rich red earth fills my heart with wonder
It’s everywhere it’s all around 
You can see it you can feel it in the air
And nothing stays the same except silence and dust

Chorus 
I was dreaming I was far away 
Tall ships white ghosts I heard them say 
We’re moving forward and don’t look back 
We’ll meet again someday somewhere down the track 
Always was always will be

Verse 
I’m a traveller just passing by 
Do you mind if I sit here and talk about why? 
The winds of change takes so long 
But the tide is turning we are learning a new song 
And nothing stays the same except silence and dust

Chorus 
I was dreaming I was far away
Tall ships white ghosts I heard them say 
We’re moving forward and don’t look back 
We’ll meet again someday somewhere down the track 
Always was always will be

Bridge 
On that fateful day 
It was guns against spears you were so brave 
No rescue no lullabies 
It was fight to survive it was fight or die 
And nothing stays the same except silence and dust

Chorus 
I was dreaming I was far away
Tall ships white ghosts I heard them say 
We’re moving forward nothing’s gonna hold us back 
We’ll meet again someday somewhere down the track 
Always was always will be 

I was dreaming I was far away 
Tall ships white ghosts I heard them say 
We’re moving forward nothing’s gonna hold us back
We’ll meet again someday somewhere down the track 
Always was always will be

I’m a traveller just passing through 
Do you mind if I sit here with you?

Caprice No. 24 in A Minor (Nicolo Paganini) - Marcus Holden

Twelve times winner of Publisher of the Year, Allen & Unwin, are in the final stage of publishing a book based on Eric Bogle's most recorded song 'And the band played Waltzing Matilda'. The book will faithfully follow the verses of the song, richly illustrated, and is aimed at the children's market. What a wonderful journey this remarkable song has taken - and continues to travel. It is all the more important because the song, which both celebrates our ANZAC tradition and decries the necessity of war, is aimed at the youth market. No muddle-headed wombats, no kookaburras up gumtrees, no Magic Pudding, just the reality and futility of war. This is a lesson worth publishing. 

‘And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda’ is available to download from iTunes as part of Bogle’s Singing The Spirit Home (RRR49) collection https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/band-played-waltzing-matilda/id315488457?i=315488476.

Blackman's Stories - Roger Knox

Another glowing review of Warren Fahey & Luke Webb’s The World Turned Upside-Down in the December edition of Country Music Capital News courtesy of Jon Wolfe … 

Warren Fahey should be no stranger to Capital News readers for his informative writings and re-issues of some of our country music pioneers over the years. This CD will appeal to anyone who is deeply interested in where our brand of country music may have sprung from – who and what inspired the stories and the tunes that eventually formed rugged folk songs to bush ballads and even contemporary flavours. Focused around the many stories and songs that the Australian gold rushes inspired, it stands as an entity in its own right and as such should be required listening.

Southend’s Stu McCarthy who worked with Paul on numerous productions and remixes including his German club hit ‘Honey Buzz’ paid tribute to his colleague and friend of over thirty years “From Danceteria in the late eighties to Bacchanlia & Stun! in the nineties plus far too many raves to mention, Paul Holden played a major part in igniting so many punters’ passion for dance music and partying, mine very much included. There were never more smiling faces on a dancefloor than when Paul was on song. That’s what the art of DJ’ing is all about. So many happy memories, rave on Paul!”

'Down in the Valley' finally saw the Cigars 'captured live' in front of an audience. There is little doubt that R&B sounds better when the audience is right up there with the band. James Nunn did a great job recording the songs over two steaming nights at Brisbane's 'The Healer' in Fortitude Valley (hence the title of the album).

Joelene - Sarina Andrew

In a recent Rolling Stone feature Julian & Kim from The Presets spoke about where it all started and that was an instrumental outfit on our Silent Recordings label called Prop who did cause quite a stir in the scene.

Balmain boy Hamilton was studying piano and music education, while Northern Beaches boy Moyes was studying percussion. By day they were learning about Stockhausen and Beethoven; by night they were seeing everything from jazz to Underworld and the Prodigy. Trying to reconcile all this, they formed Prop, a quintet with the line-up of vibraphone, marimba, keyboards, bass and drums. The group was both intense and hypnotic, creating a post-rock/groove-based instrumental sound that played with minimalism and repetition. They supported Sonic Youth and Tortoise and released two albums, Small Craft, Rough Sea (2001) and Cook Cut Damage Destroy (2003).

But Hamilton and Moyes were also clubbing, and their fondness for techno, the Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk and Rage Against the Machine found them straining the leash to try something else. At the end of Prop rehearsals, when the other three members went home, the duo would stay behind and make a lot of noise with Moyes on drums and Hamilton on synth. The seeds of the Presets were being sown.

“Prop was very beautiful,” says Hamilton. “We all listened to each other intently and it was very fulfilling musically. It was rewarding but it was cerebral. We wanted to try something that was more about the body, so it came from the hips instead of the head.” (source: Barry Divola, Rolling Stone, September 2012)
