For anyone interested, now you can hear Folkwest, the folk radio show from Perth Western Australia live on the net.

The show goes to air each Sunday at 12.00noon Western Australian Standard time (That's 04.00am GST) and runs for 2 hours.

There is a different presenter each week and the music comes mainly from our own folk collections which allows for a great diversity of musical tastes.

This Sunday Will be my at the desk.

To access the show go to - http://www.fairbridgefestival.com/folkwest/

(sorry - can't do blue clicky things)

Then click on - "listen to RTR FM live"

I hope some of you can tune, and join me.

Cheers

Bugsy

Well, let's see, on the neat global time thingie Alison sent me, Australia seems to be 15 hours ahead of me at MST in Wyoming. So.....that'd be 13 hours ahead of Mudcat time, so....should be 7pm on Saturday nights for me. Whew! I think I got that figured right!**BG**

I will tune in this weekend for sure, Bugsy! Thanks for letting us know. Here's a blue clickie thingie.

All the best,

I'll be listening tomorrow, Bugsy, as I have done for the past five years or so.

I was the guy who answered the question to win the giveaway twice in a row as the _first_ caller when you were taking the _second_.

And I got Bob Fox & Stu Luckley and then Gryphon. Not easy ones!

Good luck with the show. It's the best!

Hey, talk about serendipity - I just dialed up & went into Mudcat & found this thread, did some quick calculations & worked out that 12 noon in WA is 2pm here on the east coast of Oz, and it is 2.30pm now - so I'm listening to the programme as I type. Not sure who it is singing but sounds like John Lee Hooker to me.

Bugsy, I really enjoyed your program....I caught it all except for the last 15 minutes and I'll tune in again. You did a nice job with your guests and they sounded good. I loved your "playlist" and like I said above, the first song (Last House) sold me right away.

Sounds like a very active community there in Perth too. Thanks for the link and I'll check in on some other programs too.

Hi Bugsy. Great show! I'll start with some profanity - I'm not an avid Eric Bogle fan! But I did enjoy the Waltzing Matilda Waltz; is this an old Bogle piece, or from his new album? You can tell that I don't dote on EVERY sing he has ever written.

Any chance please of getting a copy of/or lyrics for Martin Pearson's version of Rindercella that you played yesterday? (Apologies to Alison who is sick to death of it). Please let me know via personal message or [e-mail]

Many thanks, John

From: Bugsy
Date: 03 Apr 00 - 04:54 AM

Yes, the Waltzing Matilda Waltz is a new song from Eric's new album, "Endangered Species".

I will have to take the lyrics of "Rindacella" from the Album as there is no lyric sheet with the album. It will take some time but I will get it to you "EVENTUALLY".

Glad you enjoyed the show. I intended to play much more music than I managed but will do so in my next show, I promise.

Cheers
