Bands without articles

edit

Regarding the listing of bands / performers here that do not have articles in Wikipedia, does anybody know whether they are actually prominent in the Australian folk music scene? North8000 (talk) 13:50, 20 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Dying Stockman

edit

The Dying Stockman lyrics first published by G.Doyle in The Queenslander (Brisbane, Qld.), Saturday 4 August 1894, page 212 set to the tune "Roll Me Up In My Tarpaulin Jacket" shows a great deal of similarity to the lyrics of that song published around 1892 by R.H.Davies arr. Ern Symonds [1]. Possibly fondness for a stereotype of Australia as a pastoral frontier discounts the interplay between 'folk' music and showtunes by professional Australian entertainers. For example 'Botany Bay' arose form an 1885 stage musical, while conversely 'Reedy River' features tunes from the campsite. Perhaps there is a lot more give and take than the main page suggests.
