Here's what we've been doing lately!
2011 The year that was.
Recording seems to be the name of the FF game.
In Bloody Dog Studios.. The Jugalug String Band completed their third CD CD
"Wabash Blues", Caroline Trengove (ex-Jigzag) produced her first CD
"Time Garden", meanwhile Scotland The Brave released the 2 DVD set
available in ABC shops !
Warren Fahey and the Larrikins (well Fiddlers Feast ..we seem to be interchangeable)
having completed the 2 CD set of Bawdy tunes, set about in the ABC studios to
produce another 2 bush music CDs. That'll be out early in the New Year.
Then there were the festivals, Port Fairy, Cobargo, Blue Mountains, National
Celtic Festival, Gympie! Phew. Then Caroline and I got a string section gig
with "Sarangan and Hariharan"...(who).. okay these guys are from Bollywood
and the music is amazing. It's looking like a tour to South Africa is on the
cards next year.
Jugalug started a residency at "the Shady Pines" saloon in Foley St, Kings Cross, which I have to say is the best bar in Sydney. At the moment we are taking a rest but will be back there soon. Jugalug also played the Manly Jazz Festival and Captin Matchbox performed live music the cartoons of the legendary "Robert Crumb". I got to write one of the scores which was fantastic.
And of course, the long awaited book "the Life and Tunes of Ray Schloeffel" finally finished and available from Fiddlestix Music PO Box 430 Croydon Park NSW 2133 at $25 plus postage or you can email me marcus@fiddlersfestival.com.
Lots more to talk about
but late maybe!
