B.C. DOES DUBVEGAS

Buried Country: Live in Concert has completed a first burst of gigs proper with a show at the Dubbo RSL as part of the Artlands conference/festival there on Friday, October 28. In front of warmly appreciative crowd that included such luminaries as Merv Bishop (the legendary first Aboriginal photojournalist), Ray Peckham (veteran Aboriginal activist of the 1967 Referendum campaign), NSW Deputy Premier Troy Grant (please just repeal these ridiculous throwing-out-the-baby-with-the-bathwater lockout laws: keep Sydney OPEN!) and Dave Mason (former Reels' singer making a rare appearance back in his hometown and with no less than BC MD Brendan Gallagher comping him), the show was loose and strong, and the full cast and crew celebrated with a slap-up feed as you can see below, before we take a bit of a breather now and start to map out next year. Thanks to everyone!
