G'day comrades,
(BIG hellos to Margret, Cobber John and Guru Bob,and all youse Auscatters)
I haven't been at the 'cat for a while - great to see this thread !
there was, by chance, a launch of the Declan Affley CD in Sydney last w'end - a long Saturday arvo in the Gaelic Club...Jeannie Lewis sang, and John Dengate, several other obvious suspects including yours truly.
Re. further releases from the Australian Folk Archive - Mr. Chetwynd and I are doing a Colin Dryden sampler ( also, possibly, THAT Extradition concert, PJFF 1970 )and we have more Declan, the Colonials
and very early Captain Matchbox ( original line-up ) in de can.
I also have some interesting vinyl - one of what I beleive were TWO different Melbourne Town Hole concerts ( Maldenny are you there? )with Martyn W-Read, Dave Lumsden, et al
AND Trevor Lucas' eponymous first album ( 1964, he was 20 !) with some tracks live at Frank Traynor's.
These albums are being digitised, but I'm not sure about release. I'm sure interested parties could swap certain recordings for educational purposes if nothing else !
All the best, keep those toes and fingers tapping
Regards, Dave B
