Some old Aussie snogs

Somehow I managed to stumble across a reference to an old favorite
song tonight, so I looked it up on U-Bend. Which led to the following list
of songs, which may not be the best of their examples on the site but
reminds me strongly of my Uni days in the 70s.


.... or, live and slightly different:

Response:

For motorcyclists and ghouls (definitely a favorite!):


Another favorite from the album:


A powerful song, but a lot of contradictions to me (I'll elaborate if
anyone cares):

But I always cry when I hear this one (slightly hijacked by a Canuck):

OTOH, here's a good old blast from the past:

Unlike me, Normie didn't escape conscription to fight in VietNam -- sort of
Australia's Elvis at the time

Wotcha.

That's one I often play and more than once I've struggled to keep a stiff
upper lip when singing.

 

'Ello! Keepin' warm?

Tja.

June Tabor sings a very haunting version of that

 

Wotcha.

Warm ? Positively tropical today, up as high as nine degrees - didn't
bother with hat or gloves when I took the trike over to my mate's workshop.
There again, it is only a mile away ;-)

 

Yes, That and the "green fields of france" (?) - aka William Macbride

Got the original vinyl somewhere

Really hits you when you hear "that " verse for the first time

 

Looks very sexy and very menacing on the album cover


Surely Ivan should be singing the transports

I had that, along with many other Free Reed albums on LP. Gave them all to
Rees & his son when I moved in 2002.

 

Awesome by the pogues.

As far as I'm aware none of my European ancestors were transported,
they all came over as free immigrants in the 1890-1910 time-frame.

 

That doesn't mean their neighbours were broken hearted that they went,
of course...
