Hello patrons de la pork.   During a deep and thorough research session for a piece on the evolution of Inner West pub rock, I chanced on this gem.

Cripes …..    Not the Ol’  55 you were thinking of ~  Check the moves on the left handed rhythm guitarist…….

Thunderbirds are GO !!!

Two more pink drinks, thanks, Merv

Steam Locomotive: The Duchess of Hamilton

Okay, here’s the second song I recorded that I thought sounded good enough to post

I know… it does sound a bit rough, but I’m sure that all my loyal piglet friends will understand the context and not expect the same from a jam session, recorded in my lounge on Abner’s iPod, as they might from a concert in the Royal Albert Hall or the Sydney Opera House…

Anyway, here’s our interpretation of Jethro Tull’s ‘Locomotive Breath’, from one of my favorite albums of all time, “Aqualung”. Highly recommended to anyone who’s never heard of or had the good fortune to listen to Jethro Tull; the very pinnacle of English folk-rock… I had the great privilige of watching Tull perform live at Hammersmith Odeon circa 1979 I think; I’ll just bet Julian was there too… Anyway, without further ado, here it is:

Last night the front bar of the Pigs Arms was treated to a sneak preview of the Burnside Refugees latest jam session. In this sneak preview, bootleged from last night’s concert in the front bar, T2 does ‘Elvis’; the song is sadly incomplete as Abner forgot to hit the ‘record’ button at the start, but it gives you an idea; will try to post something a bit more complete shortly…

Anyway, here they are, jamming together for the first time in over a year, a big hand please, folks, for the BURNSIDE REFUGEES!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
