Rose vocals and ukulele (Gretsch & Royal Hawaiian). ALSO PLAY BANJO (Windsor), GUITAR (Hawaiian parlour) AND AUTOHARP (Victalele) IN LIVE SHOWS!
Ukulele mostly acoustic these days, only occasionally plugged into effects pedal for a special treat.
Sometimes with a guest on trombone or bass or anything they like...

caravans, late night pushbike riding in a gang, old people's singing voices, sleeping by a fire, the sound of birds walking on a caravan roof, squeaky hills hoists singing a tune, crocheted blankets, postmen riding old bikes, making things out of cardboard boxes, carrying shopping in cardboard boxes, people who listen, wind blowing into empty bottles, textured wallpaper, champagne, fits of uncontrollable laughter, drawing on clothes with a texta, red rubber bands found on the footpath, family businesses (as opposed to franchises), homegrown or homemade stuff, old suitcases, accents, letters in the mail, particular cutlery and old floral crockery, talkback radio, anyone's stories.

Rose has a BRAND NEW CD!! Her fourth solo CD "All For One From Now Til Dawn" contains nine tracks ranging from a gentle little ditty strummed angelically on an autoharp (Before Dark) to an all in punky(?) ukulele anthem with a brass section, drumkit, tea-chest bass, ten ukulele players and a school choir! (Gee Whiz). Special guests on the album include some of Melbourne's finest: Carl Pannuzzo (drumkit), Declan Jones (trumpet), Ros Jones and Julian Chapple (trombones), Betty France (teachest bass), Steve Fraser (bass), Glendon Blazely (extra vocals), the Melbourne Ukulele Kollective and the East Brunswick Primary School Choir. What a team!
The album is packaged in a recycled carboard cover and includes a red rubberband in it's design. Rose asked friends to collect those red rubberbands that the postmen leave carelessly on the footpath. Thank ya to all those people who gave me their collections!

In 2000, ROSE TURTLE ERTLER plugged her ukulele into a multi FX guitar pedal. She kept doing this for at least five years, until she learnt to play the ukulele like a ukulele instead of like a little guitar.
She stills loves tacky programmed drums, theremin and random analog electronic beeps and buzzes, but doesn't use these so much in live shows anymore.
Lately, Rose has also been playing banjo, ukulele banjo an autoharp called a Victalele made in Melbourne. All Rose's instruments happen to be made in the 30s and 40s.
"Rose Turtle Ertler calls the music on her latest album, 'wonky folk', but the Daily Planet reckons it's the rest of the world that's wonky and this is a straight-up uke-pop gem." (Brent Clough, THE DAILY PLANET, RADIO NATIONAL, ABC RADIO, SEPT 2006)
