  A Panorama of bush ballads, folksongs, recitations, yarns and curious stories from one of Australia’s most celebrated storytellers.

  

  Warren Fahey has been collecting and performing Australian folklore for over sixty years and is a cultural historian, prolific author, ABC broadcaster and performer. His group, The Larrikins (1969-2015), was recognised for its vibrant interpretation of bush ballads, rare convict broadsides and songs from the wartime trenches, school playgrounds and city larrikin back alleys. Warren will dig deep into his swag and guarantees that nostalgia buttons will be pushed and a smile will be brought to your dial! Warren has been honoured with the Order of Australia, Prime Minister’s Centenary Medal, Golden Gumleaf Award and Australia’s highest award for lifetime achievement in music, The Don Banks Music Award. He prefers to say he is a graduate of the Dingo University of the Outback.

  Warren Fahey – concertina, jaw harps and diddling. Marcus Holden – mandolin, fiddle, guitar and whatever else he can find in the boot of his car. Garry Steel- the wizard of the accordion.
