Green South Records

Right back to the start - we're rapt to be the custodians of this very important recording, digitising and preserving it for ever more!

The Bushwackers and Bullockies Bush Band first went into the studio in 1973 and these tracks represent the first music recorded in a professional recording studio by the band.

Folk singer/ Radio Presenter Dennis Gibbons arranged for the band to do some recording at Armstrong Studios South Melbourne, Australia, giving them, and trainee recording engineer Ross Cockle some experience in the studio, after hours during 1973.

This CD is taken from a cassette recording which is all that is known to survive from that time.

The band consisted of:

Dave Isom Guitar, 5 String Banjo, vocals

Jan ‘Yarn’ Wositzky Bush Bass, Bones,

Spoons,Harmonica, vocals

Bert Kahanoff Lagerphone, vocals

Mick Slocum Button accordion,

Anglo Concertina, vocals

All arrangements by the Bushwackers and Bullockies Bush Band.
