Many thanks to all the radio presenters around Australia who are playing my song. Its a comedy song about all the loveable animals that live here, but its all the spiders, snakes, crocodiles etc that stops so many folks from overseas from holidaying in our beautiful country.

19.01.2022 :) A REMINDER re the JANUARY 2021 Balladeers Bulletin. Thank you to all who have already submitted material for the January 2021 edition. Whilst the official deadline for main articles/adverts for the Balladeers Bulletin was the 20th of October, artists & event organisers members are reminded that they may still send material to [email protected] until early November (as the bulletin goes to print in mid-November).... A helpful tip to ensure there is SPACE available for later items you may wish to include is (if you are putting something together but waiting on additional information), please email or ring advising you will be sending material in, so space can be put aside for your item/ad. The bulletin layout works by adding '4 sides' so if there is enough new information or expected information being received after the deadline, more sides can be added. :) Making changes/adding info. (if needed) also applies to those who have already supplied articles for the January edition until early November. Also - members are reminded they are always welcome to forward a current bio, a poem, or even a favourite recipe for inclusion in any edition! Please feel welcome to contact the Balladeers Bulletin via [email protected] at any time, or give ABBA President Peter Coad (OAM) a call on 0428 480 545 if you have any queries.

15.01.2022 Ashley Cook Mt Scoria Ashley is one of Australias premier bush balladeers. He walks a path of undisputed authenticity due to the fact that he lives the life ...he sings about. His cattle property in Thangool, central Qld, borders the boundary of Mount Scoria. This unique tourist attraction is a core of a Volcano, one of only three in the world. Mount Scoria is especially important to the regions indigenous population. The Gaangalu People consider Mount Scoria to be culturally significant and a short walking trail tells their cultural stories. The small volcanic mountain features unusual basalt columns. These were the result of lava cooling and forming pillars with five to eight sides called columnar. If you listen closely when its windy, you can hear the wind whistling through the pillars, like theyre playing music. www,ashleycook.com.au Ashley Cook - Qlds Own Bush Balladeer www.crspublicity.com #crspublicity #crspublicityoffical #australianmusic #australiancountrymusic #radio #australianradio #countrymusicradio #independentartists #independentmusic #newmusic #tracyandthebigd #singersongwriter #supportingartists #ashleycook #mtscoria See more

15.01.2022 Peter Coad (O.A.M.) Two Old Bushmen Penned by Peter Coad (O.A.M.), the song is based around a photo of Noel Smith and Tom Kruse. The track is from Peters cur...rent album, Full Circle. Noel Smith, a true Aussie battler who worked on stations and farmed around South Australia also played music over his lifetime, and Tom Kruse, a pioneering legend of outback mail delivery in SA. Peter said, Both Noel Smith and Tom Kruse both lived and worked in a time when determination, courage, and the knowledge of how to make do were a must. Their stories of our past are a snapshot of real Australia. I take my hat off to them and all the others like them. www.petercoadandthecoadsisters.com PETER COAD - OAM www.crspublicity.com #crspublicity #crspublicityoffical #australianmusic #australiancountrymusic #radio #australianradio #countrymusicradio #independentartists #independentmusic #newmusic #tracyandthebigd #singersongwriter #supportingartists #petercoadoam #twooldbushmen

13.01.2022 JULY 2020 BALLADEERS BULLETIN - DEADLINE 20th of MAY :) A reminder to members that the deadline for the July edition is the 20th of May. All going well, the edition should go out to members by the end of June.... WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT IN A NEWS ARTICLE? This is a very valid question in the current climate where there isnt the excitement of promoting tour dates or playing at festivals, but artist articles could include letting readers know you are, eg., writing new songs for an album, perhaps looking to record an album, or writing a book in relation to your music or life, or include a special memory/project or special guitar story with which you could include a few extra photos for reader interest or even some past bio points of interest and a couple of photos. In whatever way one can, I think it is important to keep everyone up to date with whats happening in your world especially when as an artist you are not able to present your live concert tours, appear at live festivals, etc., as before. -------------------- A REMINDER... With the ongoing tough times for our musician/artist members with the cancellation of festivals/events around the nation due to the Covid-19 the ABBA is offering our artist members (with CD product) a special ad price to advertise CD/DVD product in the JULY and OCTOBER 2020 editions. The artist may list all product/s or product deals in a Banner or Small ad priced at just $20 (inc GST). (normal Ad rate $65 inc GST) * * The ABBA website Ad rate page has been updated to reflect these new ad rates as have the Paypal payment option for those wishing to pre-pay for an ad on the same page, or, if not, you will receive an invoice as normal when the bulletin is printed. The artist may also include a 300-word article with their ad, whether that be a bio or a news article, along with a photo of themselves or act. This ad rate special will ONLY apply to the JULY & OCTOBER 2020 editions (until otherwise indicated), and only artists can take advantage of the ad price. Adrates: https://bushballadeers.com.au/adrates.htm As usual, artists/general members may send in an article to the bulletin (without advertising) if the article is general news and activities (and that includes submitting a new album for review in the bulletin). Please forward albums for review to The ABBA, PO Box 90, Tamworth 2340 NSW. If you are mailing a news item/photos please forward to the same address. If you want to Dropbox album contents/cover rather than post for review that is fine too. To contribute email articles/photos/or ad details to the upcoming July edition email information via [email protected] If you want more information about any of the above please give me a call on 0428 480 545. -------------------- In the meantime, stay safe, and healthy. Peter Coad OAM 0428 480 545 (ABBA President) on behalf of The Balladeers Bulletin Uniquely Australian.

08.01.2022 Tracy Coster Barcoo Water Barcoo Water is an authentic bush ballad rich with droving connotations and nostalgia, complete with a catchy tune that stays in you...r head, long after the song has ended. Written by long-time family friend and retired drover Wally Brummel, Barcoo Water is the first song of thirteen to be released from the artists new album, Southerly Change. Tracy says the song is inspired by the stories of our countrys colourful bush men and women. I feel its important we capture as many stories of the early days as we can, while we can, because these men and women pioneered the track for us. On a recent tour of QLD, I went to see Wally Brummell and I got my phone out and did just that. When it came time to record my new album, I remembered the phone recording and this song really stood out to me, Tracy recounts. After making a few modifications in the studio, Tracy says the result is a very cool arrangement that captures the heart and soul of outback Central West Queensland and the iconic Barcoo River. www.tracycoster.com.au @Tracy Coster www.crspublicity.com #crspublicity #crspublicityoffical #australianmusic #australiancountrymusic #radio #australianradio #countrymusicradio #independentartists #independentmusic #newmusic #tracyandthebigd #singersongwriter #supportingartists #tracycoster #barcoowater See more

07.01.2022 :) Press Release info for SLIM & I ---------------... Synopsis For over 50 years country music legend Slim Dusty and his wife Joy McKean trail-blazed their way across Australia performing, writing and collecting songs of the bush and its people. They created a musical legacy that to this day continues to entertain and inspire, a catalogue of plain speaking yet profoundly insightful music documenting the rural Australian experience. Theirs is perhaps one of the greatest partnerships in Australian music history. ----- SLIM & I is a feature documentary that tells the incredible story of that partnership and of the brilliant woman who lived beside, rather than behind, the legend. Australias own "Queen of Country Music", Joy McKean. For further information on this film, please contact Nathan Dann ([email protected]) Kind Regards Universal Pictures ---------------------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgA8DMzjzlk&t=1s

06.01.2022 Sharon Heaslip A Country School Multi-award winning singer songwriter Sharon Heaslip is respectively known as one of Australias leading female vocalist of Bu...sh Ballad and Traditional Country Music songs.

06.01.2022 Justin Standley and Virginia Coad - Camooweal It was during an impromptu performance at the Bungendore Muster that Virginia and Justin discovered that Camooweal... works well as a duet: add to that a good beat and unleash these two yodellers, and you suddenly had a standing ovation and demands from the Bungendore audience to record this new interpretation of an Australian Bush Ballad classic. Matt Fells production on this track is superb! www.teamjustinstandley.com www.facebook.com/VirginiaCoad @Justin Standley VIRGINIA COAD www.crspublicity.com #crspublicity #crspublicityoffical #australianmusic #australiancountrymusic #radio #australianradio #countrymusicradio #independentartists #independentmusic #newmusic #tracyandthebigd #singersongwriter #supportingartists #justinstandley #virginiacoad #camooweal #davidkirkoatrick #alexmackcormack See more
