Thread Name: Help: Looking for the Cobbers-Australian folk band
Subject: RE: Help: Looking for the Cobbers
I bought the LP "From Celts to Cobbers" in London in '78 and have loved them since. I finally got to see The Cobbers in Melbourne in 1985, twice. It was my misfortune to be there just after Australia whipped the U.S. for America's Cup, but at least they sang "The Catalpa" for me at a bush dance. John Armstrong's rendering of "No Man's Land" is by far the best version (and most are good) of that song. I think I have most of their stuff on LP and tape (and one CD) but I'd love to get their stuff on CD if possible.
