Yes! I am learning this folk song to teach to my 6th grade students. Love this!!!
Without music, what would life be like? Support local music programs! :)

So glad I found this - what a great clip, what a great band.. I shared a flat in Wellington, NZ with Dave Kidd before he joined the band, and met some of the other members too. Glad to know some of the originals are still going strong.

@PogoMorgan I think the other fiddler is Davie Kid .Who also played with Moving cloud

I'd forgotten about this song - absolutely loved it in the 80s - I was looking for Bushwacker's Waltzing Matilda and came upon it! So the singer is Mick Slocum? He's faaaantaastic!!
-
@cathyticehurst Oh yeah! I did too - along with another 4,995 others!

And Uncle Dobe Newton on Lagerphone....
@WTT1978 ..the singer is Mick Slocum. After he left the band he went back to uni to do his medical degree. I met him at a party in 1979 and while he didnt do this song people knew who he was and after a bit of cajoling, he did do tell a few bush yarns and was bloody entertaining. While I have always liked the Bushwackers and Dobe Newton did well to carry the band as long as he did, they were never the same as they were in this formation.

I so miss these guys! (Hi from the girls of the Green Man! ☼Ü☼)
My youth was highlighted by Bushwhackers & Parradiddle Bush Dances at the town halls - Reels that had you travelling the full length of the ballroom floor meeting hundreds of people just wanting to have a bloody good time! AWESOME! ♥☼Ü☼♥
Kids today are so DULL!!
Their music is mind numbing and their dances are boring!
BRING BACK BUSH DANCES!!! ♥☼Ü☼♥
