About Battlers' Ballad

True to the name, “Battlers’ Ballad” is a story of the battlers, workers, those who’ve struggled (and sometimes fought for) what they believe is their place in the world. It is a story of convicts, bush workers, bushrangers, rail and road - made from the songs of the kitchen, the verandah, the shearers’ huts, the front bar of the local, and around the campfire. And the band often catch these battlers on a Saturday night - on the spree! You’ll laugh, tap your toe, sing along (definitely sing along!) - even kick up your heels - more often than you will cry, though at times you might find a tear or two coming. And the story runs from early Saturday night, with the family gathered - to late, when the kids should definitely be in bed (though have probably snuck out to listen from the hall!).
