I realise that this is a deeply personal event perhaps not having a great deal to do with folk in NSW. However, Damian’s life was an extremely ‘folkie’ event and I wanted to write a little about it here. Many of you would have ‘known’ Damian from his attendance at a multitude of folk festivals around the country. He was a regular at the National and a perennial at the Woodford Folk Festival, the festival he absolutely adored. He would always walk away from a festival with hundreds of dollars worth of CD’s in support of the artists that he loved so much. He conceptualised and created the Acoustica festival that used to be held in Birch- grove Park when the ALP was in control of Leichardt council. Damian was, at the time, the deputy mayor of Leichardt. He was also a member of ‘Good Things Enterprises’ that brought Judy Small into the folk limelight in 1982 with her first album ‘A Natural Selection’. He was one of the group who contributed funds and substantial effort to bringing forth one of Australia’s finest singer-songwriters. He was also a member of Gumnut Productions, which promoted many fine concerts in Sydney in the early and mid 80’s. The one I remember with great fondness had a stack of folk headliners in it: Sirocco, Raglan Road, Eric Bogle with Jock Munro and Brent Miller, Margret RoadKnight and of course Judy Small being introduced to Australia. It was an amazing concert with unbelievable Aussie talent on show in a beautiful venue. I remember many stories being told of the bill posting that went on, illegally of course, all round the Sydney CBD in the middle of the night. Damian’s commitment to folk music continued for many years when he ran the OzFocus radio program on 2SER FM. It used to happen, if I remember correctly, at 1.00 pm on Monday afternoons and he would turn up rain or shine. I was delighted to carry the show on the odd occasion when he couldn’t make it when he had to be out of town. It had a loyal following and nothing as good, in my opinion, has ever replaced it on that station’s airwaves. What Damian did on the show was proudly broadcast the full spectrum of folk music that was born here in Australia. He was extremely eclectic in his tastes with music from Anglo, Celtic, and early white Australiana being played with pride. Where Damian also shone was in his inclusion and embracing of Indigenous and transcultural (aka multicultural or ‘World’) music. His scheduling and the music blasted out over the air- waves generated a richness of musical diversity that I, and many others like me, loved. Damian reflected the true nature of Australian Folk. He leaves us with grief from me & from those who truly new him & what he stood for. He was the true Aussie in every way; fair, equita- ble and embracing. He was the quintessential Laborist. For me, folk festivals will never be the same again. It was always a highlight of any festival to meet up with him and share a meal and a great and entertaining chin wag. I miss him terribly and will always, especially when I walk through the gates of a festival with that sense of excitement and anticipation, which will now always be shaded, by that sense of loss. I’ve included his photo since many of you will know him by face rather than by name. That is who the man was and his sense of optimism and hope is characterised by the ‘V’; a life victorious and well lived.

  • Newcastle Fortresses
    NEWCASTLE FORTRESSES Thanks to Margaret (Marg) Gayler for this article. During World War 2, Newcastle and the surrounding coast between Nelson Bay and Swansea was fortified by Defence forces to protect the east coast of New South Wales against the enemy, in case of attack from the Japanese between 1940 and 1943. There were the established Forts along the coastline, including Fort Tomaree, Fort Wallace (Stockton), Fort Scratchley, Nobbys Head (Newcastle East) and Shepherd’s Hill (Bar Beach) and Fort Redhead. The likes of Fort Tomaree (Nelson Bay), Fort Redhead (Dudley) and combined defence force that operated from Mine Camp (Catherine Hill Bay) came online during the Second World War to also protect our coast and industries like BHP from any attempt to bomb the Industries as they along with other smaller industries in the area helped in the war effort by supplying steel, razor wire, pith hats to our armed forces fighting overseas and here in Australia. With Australia at war overseas the Government of the day during the war years decided it was an urgency to fortify our coast line with not only the Army but also with the help of Navy and Air- Force in several places along the coast. So there was established a line of communication up and down the coast using all three defence forces involved. Starting with Fort Tomaree and working the way down to Fort Redhead adding a brief description of Mine Camp and the role of the RAAF, also mentioning where the Anti Aircraft placements were around Newcastle at the time of WW2.

  • “Paul Robert Burton Band”
    “PAUL ROBERT BURTON BAND” The “Paul Robert Burton Band” is a musical collaboration, presenting to the public an expanding ensemble of world-class virtuoso musicians from an infinitely wide variety of musical styles and genres. Every player is unique, however they all have something very much in common, commitment and dedication to the Arts. Music can transport the soul to higher realms and these musicians together invoke that feeling. “ We can easily say that Paul Robert Burton and his band were the standout act at this year’s Kiama Jazz & Blues Festival. Where ever he played and in whatever venue (café, outdoor concert, club) or line up (from solo to full on band) the crowds were huge, bopping and excited. Venues were full to capacity and then some! During a sidewalk café appearance, the crowds spilled onto the street & stopped traffic! Apart from his musical gifts, Paul was appreciated by festival management as a source of information regarding other artists, and brought great energy, inspiration and spirit to our Festival. People raved for weeks afterwards, and purchased Paul’s CD’s aplenty, and we have had considerable requests since the festival as to where & when Paul might play again. ” Ross Eggleton, Festival Director Eevi Stein, Festival Coordinator & Publicity Kiama Jazz & Blues Festival April 1- 3 2011 PAUL ROBERT BURTON (Songwriter, Producer, Sound Engineer, Upright Bass, Foot Drums, Guitarlele, Harmonicas, Ocarinas and Vocals) www.paulrobertburton.com www.reverbnation.com/paulrobertburton www.youtube.com/paulrobertburton Paul Robert Burton is a Multi-tasking, Multi-instrumentalist, Singer, Songwriter, Producer and Sound Engineer. Beginning his career some 30 years ago as a session musician, Paul has performed with Elvis Presley’s drummer D J Fontana, James Brown’s drummer Toni Cooke and has an extensive list of musical associations with a veritable “who’s who” of the Australian Music Industry.
