Central Coast Troubadours will present Warren Fahey and a Couple of Larrikins in concert at 2pm on Sunday, May 25, at the Everglades Club in Woy Woy.
Presenting bush songs and city ditties, the trio will give a show that has been two years in the making.
Acclaimed Australian song collector and performer Warren Fahey will be accompanied by Garry Steel on accordion and Marcus Holden, master of any instrument with strings in presenting an eccentric collection of bush ballads, folksongs, recitations, yarns and curious stories.
Fahey is a folk legend in this country as a performer, song collector and cultural historian.
He has been honoured with the Order of Australia, the Prime Minister’s Centenary Medal, the 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.
He describes himself as “a cultural historian who uses songs, stories, humour and poetry as signposts to our unique history, and to pinpoint our changing national identity”.
He also was a builder, founding Folkways Music and Larrikin Records in the early 1970s, recording for posterity the unique contributions of so many of our great artists, such as Eric Bogle, Kev Carmody, Redgum, Robyn Archer, Sirocco, Jeannie Lewis and Renée Geyer and enabling them to make a mark across the globe.
In the 1990s Larrikin became part of Australia’s Festival Records.
For just $20/25, you can experience over two hours of marvellous music and stories.
