Thread Name: 1960's Australian Folk Albums
Subject: RE: 1960's Australian Folk Albums
According to my partner, Paul Lawler, this would've been 67 or 68. He used to attend the Outpost Inn in Collins St to play chess and argue with the catholic priests who ran it!! (He also frequented Traynor's and remembers darkness, barrels, candles - and Danny & Gordon, of course!!)

Re EXTRADITION (whom I never saw, BTW - I was in West Aussie), Paul says he remembers seeing them at a concert in Sydney Town Hall around 69? and with Colin Campbell, Colin Dryden, Shayna Karlin on stage - and maybe the youngest of the Gillespie Bros on percussion??? Anyway, he said it was fabulous, ground-breaking stuff at the time and would DEARLY LOVE to get hold of a recording of THAT concert - any takers???!!!

Bob, re the Colin Dryden recordings, Evan Matheson has just informed me that "The Man" to talk to on Colin would be Derrick Chetwynd, who now lives in Brisbane, so I may do that too!

Cheers!
