Band Members > NYMAGEE 08 – FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE ! ! Organisers of the one day alternative country music extravaganza ‘Nymagee 08 – A Day in The Dirt’ say that the little festival is all about community spirit. Artists and locals alike are gearing up to support the inaugural ‘trial’ new format of the iconic bush festival on Saturday the 1st of November. “The response has been overwhelming from people in the area who want to get involved and are looking forward to attending” Said festival organiser, Tonchi McIntosh. “The support from the community is being matched by the support from artists who are all travelling to Nymagee to perform for free. It’s a festival that the artists really support, not because of any financial return, but just because it has that strong sense of community spirit” The Nymagee festival has been running bi-annually since 2000 with an ever-growing audience and group of devoted artists. The spin offs are beginning to show, with Nymagee winning a tourism NSW award in 2006 as well as a listing in NSW high school text books as an example of the way in which small remote communities can re-invent themselves. Earlier this year a sister festival ‘Blue Surf, Red Dust’ sprung up in Newcastle to raise awareness of the bush and to attract people to Nymagee. Artists from that festival will be making the long trip out to lend support to the 1 day bush event. “Nymagee is a festival that means a lot to all of us” says Blue Surf, Red Dust organiser, Mango-The Warrior Poet. “ There are many of us who have been coming to Nymagee for years, sometimes you play to a lot of people, sometimes just a few, it doesn’t matter, if one person has a good time there then its all been worthwhile” In 2006 Nymagee took a step further, immortalised in poetry and song by the Lonely Horse Band, who travelled to the town to write the local stories into songs and to update the ledger in the folk tradition for the area. The album ‘Pomegranates and Peppercorn trees was a festival favourite in 2006 and their performance is eagerly anticipated for this year. The Band have since toured the region several times and recently written an album about White Cliffs along with a series of radio documentaries that went to air earlier this year. “Its all about being involved” says Tonchi “This year we will have artists who appear on Television, have won ARIA awards, are regulars on Triple J and who tour internationally, but they still see the support they can offer Nymagee as important. In addition we are receiving wonderfully generous support form local business, Arts Councils, local volunteers and even government agencies. That’s a great thing for the bush and a fantastic reason to come along and support the festival” Nymagee 08 – A Day in The Dirt is on Saturday the 1st of November in Nymagee. Entry is free. Camping is available but facilities are few, so bring all that you need. There will be a shuttle bus running regularly from Cobar all day.

Apr 24 2009 3:36 AM

well
i was at a party
in the bush
and this lady who i thought was sexy
said to me out of the blue
if you were an animal
you would be a crab
i am staring into a fire in the middle of nowhere
and she says
i would be a crab

now in the beginning this made me feel a little weird
who did this woman think she was
no man would be happy with a crab right
give him a tiger
a lion
a horse
and eagle
but a crab

as the night when on
i developed a crab dance that took the heat off me a little bit
seems people can love crabs
especially when they dance
there was crab sex in a tent later that night
who would have thought a crab could do such things

two things i have learnt about the crab
one is that its teeth are located in its stomach
so if i the crab happened to ask that sexy lady to just relax and rest her head on my stomach
well you know the rest
and secondly if a crab loses his claw in a battle
he can just grow it back
which would make piano playing interesting

if you want to see the crab dance
or the man she says reminded her of crab
you can see him and his wonderful talented band
this SAT 25 and SUN 26 at the TOFF IN TOWN Swanston St MELB CITY
show kicks off around 8
its 10 dollars cause of the recession
see you there

Sounds good. Fantastic to hear so many turned out. Hope it's enough to stop the destruction. These guys are big. Same s**t happening in our country - Shell to Sea & the destruction of one of our most sacred areas - Tara.

Keep singing it up!
