The Wedderburn Oldtimers

The Wedderburn Oldtimers Band produced two platinum and several gold records in the late 1970s. They appeared on many TV variety shows of the era and toured Australia. Not bad for an oldtime band from country Victoria, they even outsold many pop groups of the era. I first heard the band at The National Folk Festival in Sydney, 1982 and it completely changed my concept of what our traditional dance and music was all about. They were not only great musicians (with not a piece of music in sight) but entertainers as well. This can be seen from the video grabs of their TV appearances. Fun was the essence of their performances. At the same time we got to know the late Peter Ellis, musician, dance historian and all around good bloke. Peter became a close friend and we shared many stories and journeys together. He also played with the Wedderburn Oldtimers. Over the years Peter shared many of his resources with me including videos of The Oldtimers and wanted to piece together a video on the group. Well, Peter, I finally have time to do it for you - and here it is. We hope to put up the full story of The Oldtimers as written by Peter on our Verandah Music blogsite.
