Fahey Warren (120 results)

Paperback. Condition: VG. Text free of underlining, writing and highlighting. Very nice clean copy. Swagmen and squatters, shearers and drovers, convicts and coppers - these are the folk who built Australia, and here is their story, told in song. Over a hundred songs, some very familiar, some less well known, offer a rare key to the treasure chest of our past. There are traditional songs composed by disgruntled bush workers, by optimistic gold-seekers, by the men and women who tramped the old bush tracks during the lean times of the 1890s and 1930s; there are songs from the coalfields of the south and from the canefields of the north; songs about love, about leisure, about hope for the future. These are the songs that made Australia and, above all, they're meant to be sung. Thus they are presented here with both words and music, to enable today's Australians to enjoy to the full these legacies from our pioneering past. Warren Fahey is a musical "jack of all trades" - a collector and singer of bush songs; a "long-in-the-tooth" broadcaster and scriptwriter for the ABC; a music publisher; and a music businessman operating both the Folkways retail outlet and the ever-cheeky Larrikin Record label. Born and bred in Sydney, his performing and song-collecting projects have sent him rambling through most of Australia's outback. "You know, these old songs smack of the real Australia. After a couple of verses you can almost smell the gum-leaves and hear the billy boiling - fair dinkum!" Jack Pobar, swagman 238 pages.…

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
