November 2 Creole cowboyZ December 7 Midnight Special CLUB NEWS from our President Hi Everyone Well here I am writing my report sitting at the judging table for the Len Wakefield Memorial Trophy. The South Australian Council for Country Music is having their Champion of Champions judging and then their evening show again and we are here to chose a Junior 17s and under. Wow! What a lot of talent. It’s so hard for my fellow judges (Steve Liley and Tarlee Schultz) and me to choose, but we finally came to a decision. Our choice is Georgette Berry from Berri. What a talent. We think she very much deserves our award to encourage her to keep up the good work. We hope to see her very soon at our club. Our annual general meeting is upon us next month, so looking forward to that. Our show for that day should be a ripper as well, with Carole Sturtzel and Wild Oats plus special guest Chooka Williams. Looking forward to seeing you all. Thank God for country music. Di Smith, President.

Great dance music, nice to see the dance floor full. I enjoy all styles of country music. I get a little disappointed with some people saying they that don’t like this or that band. They all put a lot of effort into their music. If it’s country it’s OK. There are some great bluegrass groups, but I guess people would complain about that kind of music. Oh well, that’s life. It was a pleasure to have Derani Haynes now a married lady with two lovely little girls along to sing for us. She was the first winner of the Len Wakefield Award and still sounding great. Bye for now, Trevor Denton and Bob Basely Lorraine plus Derani Sanders (nee Haynes) and Dave Watts on Banjo Peter Hartman was hiding behind his drums! July 2008 Entertainment Report Here we are again, now July into the second part of the year and what a great country band Heartland! The added keyboard player with the pedal steel gave a great sound. The keyboard player’s step daughters are ‘Sugar and Spice’. It was a pleasure to hear them, well done girls. They said they had a great time at Barmera. Our special guest, the Bush Balladeer Star Quest Winner 2008, Rachel Richards gave us a lovely performance of songs she wrote and also the covers she did. She was a very presentable person, she said she loved our club, the way it was run. We thank you for that. Well that’s all folks, don’t forget the early start next month, 11am AGM. Lorraine Above right - Wally Sparrow, Rachel and Lorraine Right - Sugar and Spice Heartland Rachel Page 3 August Show:- Carole Sturtzel and Wild Oats This band has been a familiar name in South Australia Library and requires much preparation by the members of for quite some years now and refuses to lie down and the committee. They run huge music celebrations at the die. Carole and the boys still love belting it out for their Arkaba Hotel in Glen Osmond every 3 or 4 months. It is remaining followers, ageing together disgracefully (ha becoming quite the place to go. Dave Brogden has been ha). Appearing every now and then at one of the Country their main drummer for a good 10 years and is sought after music clubs or RSL shows, Carole says they enjoy the fact by others bands (appearing regularly with big Jim Hermel) that the audience still give them the thumbs up after all and it’s no wonder with his incredible style. Wayne Cheary these years. on bass is the new boy on the block, coming from Billy Tea and other country, bush and rock bands and brings a The line-up has varied over the years but Carole and Ian new sound to Wild Oats (bass player Billy Pfeiffer retired Scott never budge. They are there for the duration they from the band a couple of years ago). say. Carole’s success has been well covered in various publications but Ian Scott’s story is just as impressive. Carole’s successful daughter, Beccy Cole, loves getting her Scotty, as he is affectionately known, has worked with mum up to sing with her when she does a show in South the best, touring around the country with many of the top Australia or when Carole goes with her to the Tamworth artists in the sixties and seventies, including the talented Country Music Festival each January. These days Carole’s and humorous Scott Brothers of television fame. Ian joined main interest is watching Beccy’s career soar and proud Carole and Wild Oats in the eighties and their successful mum loves it if Beccy turns up at one of the Wild Oats gigs union began. Scotty also works solo as a singer/guitarist to join Carole in a couple of numbers as they did when with full production backing all created by himself. This he Beccy’s career began right there with Wild Oats (for about does in between working with Carole. They are selective five or six years). these days and you don’t see them as frequently as in the Carole has a return to Channel 7’s Country Style with a past, leaving Carole and Scotty to pursue the other musical season coming up in August, called the Johnny Mac show interests in their lives. with Carole Sturtzel, including various country artists from Scotty has always dabbled in craft work. Leather work is the successful show. The places and dates will appear in his speciality, along with wood carving and stage props etc. the gig guide so don’t miss out on a chance to relive those Carole is involved with, the Music History Hunters of South old days - there are 5 shows in 5 different suburbs from North to South. Australia, along with other musicians keen on collecting and collating as much material as they can gather with a The Adelaide Country Music Club will be firing on the 3rd view to creating a comprehensive record of entertainment August so be there and catch Carole and the Oats and be in this state.
