Paul,
Thanks heaps for posting that great Swarbrick anecdote. It sound sooo
Australian!! I lived in country towns for a number of years in the
1970s and early 1980s and remember quite a few bush dances. They
usually took place in cavernous old public halls and sometimes in
shearing sheds. I can visualize the whole scene.
Did you know that Dave Swarbrick lived in the Blue Mountains briefly
before he returned to England? He and a Scottish/Australian musician
named Alastair Hullett (who had a rip-roaring folk rock band here
called Roaring Jack) formed a working and touring duo for a time I
think.
Anyway, thanks again,
John.
