Life in the streets of Sydney Town

Artist Steve Irons shows some sketches from regular viewing of the life in Sydney streets, with great Sydney artist Toshiko Oiyama, which they did every Saturday for a number of years. A great thing to do because you only get a microsecond to record the passer by. Of course, mine are a bit of scribble, but hers are, like everything she does, a glimpse into the future from a million different pasts. Music is Suicide Town taken from Alistair Hulett's album Dance of the Under Class (p) & (c) 1992 AMCOS Red Rattler

Yes, a gem alrite, you got it in one, and how could we forget those days in the pubs in Newtown? the great social commentator Alistair Hulett from his album Dance of the Underclass, one that still sounds fresh as if it was written yesterday

Really enjoyed this video. Alistair's passing is a great loss. I will be uploading lots more video of Alistair in the coming weeks and months.

Another gem! Alistair Hulett's voice brings back fond memories of gigs he used to do around Sydney in the '90s.
