The program was a mix of requests and personal favourites, with a few new arrivals. No posting for last week (18 October) - I was in Sydney listening to English duo Show of Hands. A first for me in that we received a 4 track CD as the ticket to their concert, complete with cover specifying the venue and date. Oh, and the concert was free - but we didn't find that out until we arrived. The promoters are very eager to use the current tour as an introduction to Show of Hands ( http://www.showofhands.co.uk ) so they'll get lots of work when they return next year.

Our Prime Minister is very bland, uninspiring and not even worthy of being the subject of scurrilous songs. The folk movement here needs politicians to lampoon, not ones we just prefer to ignore.

'Radio Booligal' is a one hour radio style presentation of the music, songs and poetry of Joe Cashmere (1872 - 1959) who was one of Australia's great traditional musicians. Harvest Moon assume the characters of Joe's band members and perform a 1930s/40s radio show complete with advertisements, listeners' request segment and comedy cut-ups. Facts about Australian history and the life and unique fiddling style of Joe Cashmere are woven into the script in stories, jokes and dialogue.

This morning the Prime Minister called a Federal election for 3 October, so in the next few weeks I'll be playing a selection of 'appropriate' songs to encourage voters to think carefully about where we want this country to be going.
