Hakkımızda Gleny Rae Virus and her Tamworth Playboys
Combining the big band sentiments of western swing with the slap and smack of rockabilly roots, Gleny Rae Virus and her Tamworth Playboys put the swing back into country music.
One half of the well traveled Toe Sucking Cowgirls (Golden Guitar finalists), Gleny Rae Virus has assembled a fine group of swingin’ playboys to create a vamped up version of the dance hall days. All the style of the 40s and the fizz of the 50s is harnessed then spiced up with fresh interpretations and original songs.
The Tamworth Playboys are a clever combination of Newcastle guitarist Marty Moose and bullfiddler Dougie Bull (from the international busking success story, The Lairs) and Toe Sucking Cowgirls regulars Grant Bedford (drums) and Ray Cullen (pedal steel). Combined with the swingin’ fiddle and squeezebox talents of Gleny Rae Virus, this outfit has all the ingredients to cook up a sizzling platter of classy country canapés.
Gleny Rae Virus and her Tamworth Playboys launched onto the country scene at the 2006 Tamworth Country Music Festival. The six day residency at the Southgate Hotel consistently filled the room and produced rave reviews.
Gleny Rae has 15 years of country music experience, performing with Rob Luckey and the Luckey Bastards, Gatorbait, The Junes, Billy Bridge, Fiddlers Festival, Red Hot Poker Dots, The Re-mains, Leslie Avril and The Yee-haa Boys.
Their debut album High Rollin' will be out from December 1, and the band is touring the east coast, Victoria and Adelaide over the following six weeks.
Special mention must be made of The Fuelers bass player and artist extraordinaire, Ed Radclyffe, who created the enigmatic playing cards.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
