Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band is a part of the personal history of a lot of people my age. They used to do courtyard concerts and dances at our university when I was there in the early '70's. I also remember their May Day dances at the town hall. Brothers Mic and Jim Conway co-founded the band. They were all brilliant. High energy, clever musicians, funny, creative. Memorable.
(May Day is a workers' day celebrating the introduction of the 8 hour day but in NSW we have the Labour Day public holiday in early October.)
