GUINNESS WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT 

WORLD'S LARGEST TIN WHISTLE BAND 

ALL PROCEEDS TO GREENACRES 

Back at Jamberoo 

in 2000 there was 

an attempt for the 

Largest Tin Whistle 

Band in the World 

On that occasion 

there were 99! 

We're going to try again at the next festival. 

Johnny Spillane will once again assist in getting 

everyone playing the two tunes required for the 

record performance - Click Go The Shears and 

Molly Malone. 

The performance will be during the Festival 

Finale on the Sunday evening. 

There will be various workshops and rehearsals 

and the hope is for over 100 tin whistlers. 

It will cost $15 per person to register and 

participate and all proceeds will go to a charity 

to be nominated. You'll get a whistle if you need 

it, the music and of course a heap of fun. 

Registration will be via the website and at the 

Festival. 

Whistle Practices

To help get into the swing 

of playing a tine whistle, 

Johnny Spillane will hold 

classes at the Wongawilli

FESTIVAL T-SHIRT 

new design from Reg Mombassa 

Reg Mombassa designer of the festival guitar 

figurine logo has kindly allowed the festival to 

select another piece of his artwork for use on the 

2010 Festival T-Shirt. 

The artwork was originally used for the London 

version of the stage play We Will Rock You with 

the theme song from Queen. The text has been 

adapted to 'FOLK YOU' and a violin head in 

place of the guitar head. 

It will be a unique collectors item especially if 

you appreciate Reg's work. 

They will be available at the Folk Club Concerts 

and online from mid-October.

Folklorist Warren Fahy writes. “As many 

of you know, my Australian Folklore Unit 

website (www.warrenfaheycom) carries 

an extensive history of the folk revival 

in Australia (all States and Territories) 

including the history of various Morris 

Dance groups, general articles on folk song 

and the thoroughly researched Malcolm J 

Turnbull archives. 

Recent additions (October) include: 

The Great Folk Revival ñ Some Issues, 

Debates and Controversies - part of the 

Malcolm J Turnbull Collection 

Not Just Another Folk Concert: Recalling 

the Four Capitals Tour - part of the Malcolm 

J Turnbull Collection 

Although the site carries numerous 

photographs and scans of programs, posters 

etc I am keen to add more illustrative 

material. 

If you would like to assist this project I would 

appreciate ANY photographs from the 1950s, 

60s, 70s, 80s and 90s of groups, solo artists, 

folk clubs, concert posters, dancers etc.” 


And from the Old Rapscallion- I made 

the mistake of calling him an Icon when 

I introduced him at the ‘Curse of Verse’ 

concert at the Gallery and he’s now got a big 

head. It was a great concert and if you were 

not one of the 50 people who were there then 

you should feel deprived. 

“This pome almost caused burnout on the 

spellcheck.” 

QUAMGULARBUTTGIRALAMOSAURAS 

Four palaeontologists, way out west, were looking 

for some bones, 

Amongst the rocky outcrops, the sand, and 

weathered stones. 

‘Twas hot akubra weather. With lips and noses 

zinced, 

They hoped to find some evidence of beasts, now 

long extinct. 

They found some ancient fossils, but they weren’t 

too hyped because, 

The bones were brontosauruses, and common 

dinosaurs. 

Palaeontologist number one, was feeling pretty 

down, 

When he kicked a pile of rubble heaped upon the 

ground. 

There, in the scattered rubble, was a peculiar 

looking stone, 

He picked it up, examined it, and saw a fossil 

bone.

Excitement flashed across his face. “I know what 

this is from.” 

He shouted to his colleagues: “It’s the knee bone 

of a quam.” 

“A Quambone, eh! How interesting. I’ve only 

read about it.” 

Said palaeontologist number two. “I sincerely 

doubt it. 

Let me have a look at it.” and he was heard to 

mutter: 

“This isn’t from a quam at all. It’s the thigh 

bone of a butta.” 

“Yes. It’s definitely a Buttabone. I’m sure you 

all agree. 

See that tiny smear of butta here, as clear as 

clear can be?” 

Said Palaeontologist number three: “Your 

claims are but a sham. 

This fossil is a shin bone, and it’s from a 

Girilam.” 

“A Girilambone. What a joke.” Said 

Palaeontologist four. 

It’s clear to me that none of you really know 

the score. 

You’re just trying to impress me with all this 

palaent jargon. 

This is patently the backbone of a long extinct 

gulargam.” 

“A Gulargambone!” Sneered the other three, 

combined in their disbelief. 

Then Palaeontologist number one, the self 

appointed chief. 

Said: “I don’t admit that I am wrong, but we 

can’t all be right. 

Unless we find a compromise, we’ll be arguing 

all night.” 

“Let’s combine our expertise. We’re all in search 

of fame 

By making some discovery. It’s the nature of 

the game. 

Alright. We don’t know what it is. But let’s pick 

up the pieces, 

There’s no one here but us four. Our collective 

thesis 

Will highlight our discovery, and the fame that’s 

waiting for us. 

I suggest we call our find a QUAM-GULAR- 

BUTT-GIRALAM-osauras. 

The others were astounded. “That’s magnificent. 

Colossal. 

There’s nothing like discovering a brand new 

ancient fossil.” 

They were right. The media loved it. The 

headlines screamed in chorus. 

“DISCOVERED BY A BRILLIANT TEAM 

-- QUAM-GULAR-BUTT-GIRALAMosauras. 

Recognition followed. Fame was theirs to take, 

And only you and I know friends, that this claim 

was a fake. 

Still if you should visit Quambone, or by 

chance, be driving through 

Buttabone, Gulargambone, and Girilambone 

too, 

And you want to know how they were named 

and reached the heights of glory. 

No need to wonder any more, not now you’ve 

heard this story. 

BLUE -- the shearer

We were thinking maybe having some 

haggis as an entrée at the great tripe night 

at the festival but apparently we need a 

farkaler and there is a shortage of them 

in the Illawarra. Tony Konjowski sent me 

this information that he gleaned on his 

recent trip to the Highlands. Farkaling by 

the way should not be confused with that 

fine old Aussie sport of Farnarkling. Which 

is described hereunder and was invented 

by John Clark. 

"In essence, Farnarkeling is engaged in by 

two teams whose purpose is to arkle, and 

to prevent the other team from arkeling, 

using a flukem to propel a gonad through 

sets of posts situated at random around the 

periphery of a grommet. Arkeling is not 

permissible, however, from any position 

adjacent to the phlange (or leiderkrantz) or 

from within 15 yards of the wiffenwacker 

at the point where the shifting tube abuts 

the centre-line on either side of the 34 

metre mark, measured from the valve at 

the back of the defending side's transomhousing." 

Farkaling is a method of catching haggis, a 

revered and ancient species indigenous to 

Scotland. Haggis is a popular food enjoyed 

during traditional Scottish festivals such as 

Hogmanny and Burns Night. The two subspecies 

of Haggis are the Greater Spotted 

and the Lesser Spotted. The Lesser Spotted 

may be found mainly in the Lowlands of 

Scotland. Its diet is primarily vegetarian 

consisting of barley, wheat and oats during 

the summer months and winter greens 

during the colder weather, often to the 

frustration of local farmers. 

The Greater Spotted Haggis is found 

mainly in the Scottish Highlands. It is 

shy and nocturnal. It prefers the habitat 

of mountains, rivers and streams seeking 

refuge in holes along river banks feeding 

on insects, worms, grubs and small fish. 

The Haggis is a creature with poor flying 

skills and a preference for sheltering holes 

and crevices, known as Nesties. Due to 

their reclusive nature a precise and timehonoured 

technique for capturing them 

has evolved. The most effective way to 

entice the Haggis out of the Nestie is to 

Farkal it. The required attire for Farkaling 

is the traditional Highland dress consisting 

of a kilt. The Farkaler is equipped with 

a Farkaling Stick, which is long with a 

feather adorning the tip. The Farkaler 

twists his Farkaling Stick in a clockwise 

direction brushing gently against the 

Haggis. The Haggis, pleased with this 

sensation is lulled into a state of semiconciousness. 

The Farkaling Stick is then 

gently withdrawn enticing the Haggis to 

follow it our of the Nestie. As the Haggis 

emerges from the hole it is revived by the 

cool evening air and - due to its position 

relative to the Farkaler receives a clear 

view up the Farkalers kilt and promptly 

passes out. 

I hear Monty , our resident incomprehensible 

Scotsman is Willing to lead a Farkaling 

expedition. 


While on The Subject of Poetry which we 

were not, but Monty who we were., He sent 

me this anon. bit of verse that he found on 

a farm gate in the Central West. (Bloody 

Poets they’re everywhere. 

“I’ve never been charged with trespass, 

I’ve never been Charged with rape, 

But I will be charged with murder, 

If you don’t shut this bloody gate.” 


It wouldn’t be a Folk Notes if we didn’t 

have at least one Obituary. 

From Brian Grayson- “Lesley Hale died 

on 8 October 2009 in Edinburgh at the 

age of 62. I knew Lesley in 1964-65 when 

she passed through Sydney - she sang at 

the Folk Attick and on Dave Guard's TV 

show 'Dave's Place'. She also sang on one 

of the 'Some Like it Folk' concerts at the 

Sydney Town Hall in 1964. She returned 

to Scotland, and enjoyed a long singing 

career as a soloist and with the band 'Bitter 

Withy'.”

Here’s one for the Diary from the legendary 

Phyl Lobl. 

‘SINGING THE SOUTH’ 

‘Singing The South’ is a musical presentation 

that explores the growth of the Illawarra. 

The story is told through songs, wry 

comment and images. The seventeen songs 

range widely in style, feel, and topic and 

were written by Phyl Lobl a songwriter of 

wide experience in Folklore and music who 

gathered information from local sources . 

Experienced singers capable of singing 

the inside of a song bring the times 

alive. Talented accompanying musicians 

add texture and musical depth to the 

melodies. 

Images,many obtained from the Pilot’s 

Cottage files offerglimpses of the past which 

deepen understanding and appreciation 

of place. 

The topics include a round ‘Khantarinteree’ 

which is the Wodi Wodi name for the 

Blowhole,a ballad poem ‘Coast Ghost ’ 

which might shiver your spine, a lyrical 

honouring of the Illawarra in 

‘Between The High Place And The Sea’,the 

story of ‘The Butter Track’and an off shoot 

of that industry the story of ‘Daisy’, Kiama’s 

decorated cow.

PRESIDENTS 

REPORT 2009 

The year 2009 has again been a good year 

for the Club. Our club concert numbers 

have improved, have been consistently 

better than 2008 and have consistently 

hovered between 50 and 70. These numbers 

have held up even during winter which has 

traditionally been a bad time for us.Whereas 

in the past we have relied heavily on the 

ubiquitous Raffle to break even, this year 

it has more likely to have been the icing 

on the cake. 

Part of our charter is to present quality folk 

acts to our members and provide Illawarra 

venues for our local and imported groups 

In this I believe we have fulfilled our 

obligations to our aims and objectives in a 

highly effective way. 

The first half of the year saw a strong 

contigent of well known performers visit 

the club. Our old mate Jez Lowe and Kate 

Bromley from the UK paid us another visit, 

The accomplished Nano Stern from Chile, 

The ever popular Beez from Germany, Paul 

Ubana Jones from NZ, The Alan Kelly Band 

and Colum Sands ensured that our OS 

contingent was varied and brilliant. We also 

had house concerts for that Great folklorist 

from the UK Martin Wyndham Read and 

NZ collector and songwriter Phil Garland. 

From around Australia we have presented 

‘Pete Hawkes from Newcastle, Fergusson 

from the Blue Mountains as well as the 

old rapscallion Blue the Shearer also from 

the mountains, Kazband from Melbourne, 

Jan Preston from Sydney, Alan Blackshaw 

from Nowra, The Lurkers from Kangaroo 

Valley, Gary Tooth From the highlands, 

‘Geoffery Graham from Ballarat,’, Jeannie 

Lewis, Rachel Dillon, Penny Larkins, 

Bronnie Ware, Doc Jones Lecherie Band, 

Rebecca More, all from Sydney and of 

course the 8 piece Celtic Band, Humbug 

from Canberra, as were Simone Olding and 

Craig Dawson. Also in this list were Daniel 

Champagne from the South Coast, and Pat 

Drummond and Karen Lynne from the Blue 

Mountains. 

The rich depth of Folk Performers in the 

Illawarra were well represented in our 

concerts- Emma Hannah and the Silver River 

Band, Perla Aura, ‘The Scarlet O’Haras, 

Rick Caballo, ‘Penny Hartdgerink’ ‘Blue the 

Shearer,’ ‘No Such Thing,’ ‘Wongawilli,’’ 

Pete Bennett and Steve James, Maurie 

Mulheron’ ‘Zompa’ ‘Big Snore Hammers,’ 


‘High Fidelity,’Alan Morrison, Danny 

Priestly, Fiddle Dance‘Alan Musgrove 

and Bob Mcguinness’ Nick Rheinberger, 

Stewart Holt, Trilogy, Chris Wilson and 

AZ-I-AM, Double Decker Dave, Nothing 

But Jam and John Broomhall. 

Alan Musgrove and his Watsername Band 

launched his latest CD at the club in May 

and we held a very successful tribute to Pete 

Seeger at the Club also in May. 

Another of our activities were the four free 

lunchtime concerts that we put on in the Art 

Gallery in November this year. These were 

well received and our audiences ranged 

from 35-60. I have no doubt these will be 

regular events on our calendar. The Art 

Gallery was very happy with them too. 

Oh! And Folk in the Foothills was aqlso 

our moswt successful and for the first time 

since its inception seven years ago it made a 

small profit. It was a great line-up with Ted 

Egan back, Jim Haynes, Ami Williamson, 

Jason and Chloe,Doc Jones, John Broomhall, 

Wongawilli, Scorba and Wongawilli among 

others. 

I almost forgot the great day we had on 

Feb 28th when we raised over $1500 for the 

victims of the Victorian Bushfires. 

Sadly we lost three of our esteemed club 

members through the year. Our first life 

member, Ann Fox died after a period in a 

nursing home down the coast. Ann, who 

was for many years president of the club 

will be commemorated in a memorial 

concert at the Festival. Bill Carwardine a 

long time member and a living link with 

Henry Lawson also passed away in Wrights 

Beach and Dave Cartledge our treasurer for 

some tears died of cancer on the Sunshine 

Coast. Our condolences go to thew families 

of Ann, Bill and Dave. 

We’ve started having a mystery Muso 

to kick our concerts off. They are club 

members who do fifteen minutes at the 

start of our concerts. So far I’d like to thank 

Denis McKay, Viv Sawyer, Scarlet O’Haras, 

Emma Hannah, Danny Priestly and Chris 

Wilson for their performances. 

We still have fairly unfettered access to The 

Diggers Club which is an excellent venue 

and our sound man, Phil Nixon, continues 

to provide the best sound that we have 

ever had. I would like to put on record 

our appreciation to the Diggers and in 

particular our contact, Robbie Rodwell who 

has had an Annus ‘Orribilis health wise but 

thankfully is back in the land of the living 

and firing on all cylinders again. 

With great weather, The Festival was our 

most successful yet. Not only was it an 

artistic success, we managed to turn a very 

small profit so we are in the game for 2010. 

Our thanks to all our sponsors, particularly 

Bluescope Steel and Tourism NSW. The 

Festival will be reported on by Festival 

Director Dave de Santi . 

It should be recorded that the Club is highly 

appreciative of the countless hours and 

dedication that Dave has put into taking 

the Festival to the new heights that it has 

achieved. That he does this in a voluntary 

capacity and fits it into a busy schedule of 

work (paid), Newsletter Editor, Dance Club 

Guru and active musician is nothing short 

of amazing to us mere mortals. We are also 

highly appreciative of the support given to 

Dave by his good lady wife Tanya, whose 

tolerance is legendary. 

All good things must come to an end 

or taper off however and Dave is trying 

to relinquish some of his activity to fit a 

family into his busy life. He has eased of 

just a little this year and has taken the role of 

artistic director. More needs to go however 

and we’ll have to have serious discussions 

after this festival about how we structure 

ourselves. 

Thanks also to our hard working Secretary/ 

treasurer Ros who has the odious task of 

making sure that our finances are in order 

as well as ensuring that our meetings are 

regularly held. She also has the task of either 

controlling the door or organising someone 

else to do it. 

Thanks also to Roger and Jill for their work 

on the Newsletter and they are always 

there in support (Unless of course they 

are spending Roger’s superannuation 

by travelling around Australia). Thanks 

must also go to Yvonne O’Grady, Dennis 

McKay and Bernard Williams who, along 

with myself have ensured our Folk Radio 

Programme on VOX Fm continues to be 

both high quality and regular. 

Thanks also to all the members of the 

committee who have worked hard to 

keep the club both solvent and viable. To 

Dave, who does a great job ensuring our 

newsletter appears monthly, To Peter and 

Yvonne for their help on the door, to our 

Raffle Sellers at the concerts, Janet, Peter, 

Mairi and Graeme go our thanks. Bob who 

is helping Ros out with the finances and 

also taking charge of our new toy- the CdD 

reproducer. Also to Tony Foley for doing 

anything that needs being done. 

I’d also like to express our thanks to Theresa, 

who assumed the mantle of publicity officer 

last year. Her successful hounding of 

myself to produce press releases has meant 

that our media coverage has probably been 

the best we have ever had. I think we can 

attribute much of our rise in attendances to 

the work Theresa has done. 

I’d also like to thank especially Yvonne 

O’Grady, Bill Montgomery and Mairi 

Petersen for providing for accommodation 

for many of our touring artists and for 

providing venues for house concerts. There 

is no doubt that one of the reasons so many 

of our artists want to return is so they can 

again sample the hospitality of Yvonne, 

Kath, Monty and Mairi. And best wishes to 

Kath who has spent a bit of time in hospital 

in the latter half of the year. 

Quo Vadis- Illawarra Folk Club. The 

club will certainly push ahead with our 

usual fortnightly concerts- perhaps we 

should look at more theme and ‘five pack’ 

concerts which seem to be popular. They 

also have the advantage of providing more 

opportunities for artist to have a gig before 

an appreciative audience. There are not 

many of these venues around these days. 

Perhaps we should look at more social trips, 

but. Sometimes fitting these in to an already 

busy calendar can be difficult, particularly 

in these difficult economic times. 

It is the festival however that is our biggest 

worry and I said this last year . It survives 

because of the efforts of Dave de Santi. 

Should he wear out (and we all do) or get 

run over by a bus, then we are in trouble. 

To be ongoing we need to be looking for a 

younger helper or make enough money to 

be able to pay someone, at least part time t 

o 

do the 

job. Of course Dave is the obvious choice 

but he needs a helper who can learn the 

ropes. Even Festivals like Fairbridge in WA 

have paid their director two days a week 

for the last ten or twelve years. Perhaps we 

make it a more manageable event but it is 

hard to go backwards as the expectations 

are very high. 

Anyway it is a question that we should 

be getting ready to address and seriously 

thinking about. The survival of the festival 

is at stake. 

Thanks to everyone who has worked hard 

for the club this year and we look forward 

to a successful year in 2009
