7.30pm CITY DIGGERS WOLLONGONG
A band that is no stranger to audiences at
Folk Festival will be performing at the Club
City Diggers at 7.30pm) on Saturday June
21st. They have been around for a long time
as you’ll note when they all walk on stage
using their instruments as walking sticks.
They are of course Franklyn B Paverty,
veterans of many a festival and also the
opening of Parliament House, Canberra.
to appear at the nation's major folk and
entertainment venues. The band has made
nine albums (5 CDs and 4 LPs) and many
TV and radio appearances, including the
ABC TV series Peach's Gold.
They are fine exponents of traditional
Australian bush music varied with folk,
country and occasional swing, blues, jug
band or old rock 'n' roll music (Is there
much else except head-banging)
Each year on Australia Day from 2002 to
2007 and 2010 to 2012, Paverty performed
at The Lodge for the Prime Minister's
Australia Day celebrations. In late 2003,
presented Australian music to guests at
a lunch for visiting US President George
W. Bush.” (wouldn’t skite about that one!)

ILL AWARR A FOLK CLUB NEWSLETTER
The band has been part of the celebrations
marking 10th (see here), 20th and 25th
anniversary of its opening (in 1998, 2008
and 2013 respectively).
Currently, members of Franklyn B Paverty
include Mal Bennett, Bob Buckley, Simone
Dawson, Graham Chalker, Peter Logue,
Bob Rodgers and Bryan Rae.
Something else good has to come out
of Canberra besides besides the Federal
Highway and Bad budgets (Which are
not good) And it is, of course, the Honey
Badgers. According to Wikipedia, “the
honey badger does not closely resemble
other badger species; instead, it bears
more anatomical similarities to weasels.
It has few natural predators because of
its thick skin and ferocious defensive
abilities.“ Although our Australian Honey
Badgers are sometimes known to possess
some of these characteristics, their skillful
musicianship, audience interaction and
songwriting skills distinguish them
from their African counterparts. The
Honey Badgers have, for decades, been
individually camouflaged within the
comfort and safety of other bands - until
now. Craig and Simone Badger are united
with Peter “Wolverine” Logue (accordion,
mandolin),
Rita “Ratel” Woolhouse (cello) and Zena
“Polecat” Armstrong (percussion and
whistle) in presenting a wide variety of
roots inspired songs and instrumentals.
Of course, having read the above you
can see why both Paverty and the Honey
Badgers are quite at home in Canberra.
Cost of the night is an amazing $3 with a
$7 co-payment for members and $8 with a
$7 co-payment for others ie $10/$15. The
Mystery Performer will be there of course
and we can guarantee he/she they are not
from Canberra.

7.30pm CITY DIGGERS WOLLONGONG
Three-Sixty is a trio who all grew up
during the 1960s, loving the folk music
that was so much a part of that decade. All
began playing guitar and singing in their
teens, performing the songs they enjoyed
listening to. Now they have come together
to bring back those wonderful songs.
create a fusion of blues, folk and trad. The
lads are venturing into Richard Thompson
(Waltzing's for Dreamers), Steve Earle's
Galway Girl, Bob Dylan songs, Riders on
the Storm with the King of the Fairies,
Cajun and some original songs!
David De Santi, Artistic Director of the
Illawarra Folk Festival and accordionista,
has been hosting Good Tunes Sessions for
a number of years in the Illawarra and at
folk festivals around the country.
The plan is to have a casual afternoon of
traditional folk tunes and songs played
with acoustic instruments. These sort of
gatherings are called a ‘Session’. Sessions
are a traditional form of socialising with
the joy of music. Playing music in a social
convivial and relaxed acoustic atmosphere
is very soothing for the musical soul.
You’ll hear tunes from Ireland, Scotland,
Italy, USA, France, French Canada,
Sweden, Spain, Australia and beyond!
Dancing is optional.
Acoustic musicians are welcome to join
in with sheet music provided for the
tunes and songs. The session is hosted by
David De Santi, accordionista from the
Wongawilli Bush Band, The Con Artists
and I Viaggiatori.
Illawarra Flame Three is a group formed in
mid 2011 by Tony Madden to seek a niche
market in the Illawarra for a small group
playing vintage acoustic jazz and some
more recent popular music with a splash
of folk included.
The Humphreys is a new band of
experienced musicians. Steve McClure
and Brett Sergeant from My Secret Window
are joined Vic 'the stick' Jankulovski and
Humph D Bear De Santi on accordion to

A report on our esteemed treasurer ‘Old
Moneybags’ Mark Doran. You might have
missed him sitting on the door collecting
your entrance fee lately. No! He hasn’t
absconded with club funds and gone to
South America, nor has he run away from
home and bought a mansion in Majorca.
In fact he heeded Joe Hockey’s advice that
we all had to do the heavy lifting. Mark
of course, took this to heart (Joe is such a
persuasive character) and helped his mate
move furniture. The result was that he
fractured a vertebrate in his back and has
been laid up in hospital for a few weeks.
No disability assistance thanks to Joe either.
Anyway we all wish him an exit from
hospital, an alleviation from the severe pain
he’s suffering and hope that he gets back to
being Mr ‘Money Bags’ as soon as possible.

Alison Rowe from Mount Kembla a long
time member of the club sadly died from
cancer on the 4 June. Alison and partner
Allen Clark have been great members
and supporters of the club for over 25
years and Alison was, along with Allen
responsible for the Statewide broadcasts of
the Festival that we did from the Jamberoo
Pub on the ABC in the early 90s. She was
also one of the people responsible for the
first festival CD we produced, ‘JamberooThe First Ten Years’in 1995. Ally was a
Copywrite Authority and an Artist- A
goodly contingent of Folk Club Members
attended her funeral and then her wake
at her old stomping ground- the Mount
Kembla Pub. All our condolences go to
her partner of 35 years Allen Clark and
her family (her brother came out from
Luxemburg and managed to see her before
she died).

On a more positive note it’s a welcome out
of hospital for Val Mcgarry who is the club
member who organises us to have Eleanor
McEvoy. Our best wishes for a complete
recovery to Val.

If you missed the Tom Lewis Concert
in Late April you were clearly a fool to
yourself and a burden to others. It was a
magic night of a bloke with a magic Voice
and a magic stage presence (I think I’m
waxing lyrical but it was a night to wax
lyrical about) Anyway Tom has sent us
this letter
“Dear Russ, we're back home (about 80
hours now) after a really great trip. We've
had to post almost a dozen CDs back to
Australia!!!
In all honesty, we had been contemplating
this being our last visit to Australia we're not getting any younger, y'know.
;-)) - although we're quite entranced with
New Zealand. However; the (musical and
personal) reaction, in both places, has been
so positive that we're re-thinking that. We'll
let you know what plans may be afoot.
Between visiting friends, folk festival
commitments and a folk club tour in the
late summer, life is busy... so we'd better
get on with it. All for now. Thanks again,
Russ, T&L.”
Naturally we would have Tom back
anytime.

Whoever tweaked that twitter
might be in some strife.
Address-in-Reply, a bit unruly, so I heard,
Someone was reported as using

Behaviour in the Parliament, no
doubt would be bleaker,
If it were not controlled by a
wise, bipartisan Speaker.
I am indebted to a Scottish Friend for this
one. Our resident Scottish person, Monty,
has taken it to heart so be warned.

We had a great House Concert with Blue
the Shearer on Sunday 25th May with
a most appreciative crowd. Some of the
audience got up and did a poem as well
so it a great afternoon with a break in the
middle for a dose of Blue’s Stew and Mairi’s
Carrot Cake. As he’s 87 he reckons its his
last concert but we told him not to be such
a pessimist and we were going to get him
back again in 6 months.
BUDGET 2014
I've read the papers, watched
TV, listened to the news,
Sat through countless critiques,
comments, and reviews.
Certainly, they've touched on
petrol tax, and cars,
But I haven't seen a great big
tax, on great big fat cigars.
The States seem quite unhappy.
They've been treated with ignore,
It seems that Federal largesse
wont be coming any more.
From the Federal point of view,
State finance is abundant …
But the States now seem to fear that
they'll be made redundant.
There have been some mutterings
about the end results,
But at least the States might
start acting like adults.
There have been references to
health, and I did hear mention,
That some would be affected by
changes to the pension.
And those who go to doctors
will bear some fiscal scars,
Apparently, these brain waves came,
whilst smoking big cigars.
Or they could have come from a
brand new budget ploy …
A treasurer, come jester,
dancing from sheer joy
to a favourite ditty … 'This is
the Best Day of my Life'
I have recurring nightmares.
I've not had them before,
About youth unemployment, and
the disenfranchised poor.
The elderly, the very ill, suffering the ravages,
Visited upon them by autocratic savages.
“Crisis is upon us” the PM tells us so,
Backed up by the Treasurer,
and so the way to go
Is to whack the whackable. That
makes perfect sense,
The whackables don't have the clout
to threaten Governments.
Still, they seem to have the balance
right, with the accent shifting
From the rich unto the poor
to do the heavy lifting.
Medicare and ABC, they claim
they're under stress.
No promises were broken, so
they'll have to do with less.
I watched a bit of Q & A, and thought
… there's something wrong,
Sure, the Treasurer was there,
apparently on song,
And suddenly, it struck me …
I know what it are …
Joe Hockey should be smoking
a great big fat cigar.

For the people who really prefer to
have a hard copy to sit on the coffee
table etc you can do this by printing
your electronic copy and you can then
have it to read whenever and wherever
you like.
Then again hard copy does have its
uses. (Computers can't change nappies
and............ read on)

CREDIT CARD DETAILS
It saves the Club quite a bit and is a very
environmentally friendly thing to do.
Obviously not everyone has internet
connections so we will still post out
a hard copy but if you can help by
taking an electronic copy that would
be appreciated.

August 2009 form
Judy Cork, Membership Secretary
Newsletters,
Technology & A Spider
My wife’s embraced technology,
Her head’s in an I-Cloud,
And when I say - “you’re just a
nerd" She says it makes her proud.
The house is full of I-phones,
I-tunes are everywhere,
When the conversation turns to
Apps, It’s more than I can bear.
We don’t have any books no more,
Just Kindles, they’re the rage,
She says reading books is tiresome
, For you have to turn a page.
When she sees me read the paper,
And sees me post a letter,
She says, I am a Luddite,
As there’s ways that are much better.
She said I should try I-Pods
And this verse I should e-mail ya
She’s embarrassed that she’s
married to an electronic failure.
We were sitting in our sunroom
I think she was on Twitter
I said please pass the folk newsletter
dear, I thought I heard her titter.
She looked at me with a silly grin
And said I was quite sad,
She said - “Newsletters are now quite
passé, Here try my new I-Pad.”
I reached and took the I-Pad I
still knew I had to ‘git ‘im’,
And I’ll tell you now that spider,
Just didn’t know what ‘hit ‘im’
