A PROTEST CONCERT FOR WINDSOR

Come and join us for our next protest event in Thompson Square on the 2nd of March and show your support for Windsor's future. 

The time has come to fight for your voice and your Square and to send a clear message that the people of NSW will not be ignored. 

We are holding a concert in Thompson Square to protest the NSW state government's plans to bulldoze an arterial road through the oldest town square in Australia and to replace a two lane, flood prone bridge with a two lane, flood prone bridge. 

We have an exciting line up of musicians that include 

Shameless Seamus and the Tullamore Dews 
Peter Fenton
A Girl's A Gun
Caitlin Harnett
Imogen Clark
Jason Walker
...and our very good friends, singing our theme song,
Woodford


Come along, bring your family and friends to send a clear message that your community deserves to be heard.

PETER FENTON

Peter is known as the charismatic front man for the Sydney band Crow, which was formed in the 1980's. Throughout the 90’s, Crow released three critically acclaimed albums - the Aria-nominated ‘My Kind Of Pain’ plus the much respected ‘Li-Lo-ing’ and ‘Play With Love’. A live favourite, Crow were renown for their intense gigs. Touring with Jeff Buckley, Nirvana, Sebadoh, Pavement and Sonic Youth amongst others, Crow were touted as the ‘best band in Australia since The Birthday Party’ (Juice Magazine 1998). They have been credited as an influence on Augie March. 

After Crow went their separate ways Fenton went on to an acting career, including a lead role in the film version of Andrew McGahan’s novel Praise and a subsequent part in ABC drama series Love Is a Four Letter Word.

Ten years since disbanding, the band reformed with their classic line up. Fronted by contributing songwriters, Peter Fenton and Peter Archer and backed by drummer John Fenton and bassist Jim Woff, CROW made a welcome return to the Australian music scene. https://www.facebook.com/pages/C-R-O-W/133762269979382

CAITLIN HARNETT

Caitlin Harnett hails from Sydney, Australia but her songs evoke Laurel Canyon of the early 1970's. They share the personal and poetic nature of Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne's early songs, youthful in their outlook but with age-old concerns at their core.

Caitlin is one of the youngest signings to Mushroom Music Publishing, Australia's largest independent music publisher. She has been recognised both internationally and locally for her songwriting.

September 2013 saw Caitlin head to Ottawa, Canada to record her debut full length record with producer Dave Draves (Kathleen Edwards, Howe Gelb), Jim Bryson and a group of Ottawa based musicians. The record is scheduled for release in early 2014. What started as a 2 week recording project has led to a 3 month adventure, which saw her touring from the East coast of Canada to the West. In between she found time for shows in Boston and the Rockwood Music Hall in New York. http://www.caitlinharnett.com/

A GIRL'S A GUN

A Girl's a Gun is a Sydney-based rock and roll band, with a sound coming out of the same Southern Rock soup that most likely influenced the Stones while they were busy influencing The Black Crowes: sexy, fuzzy, and full of blues. 

Lucia Neville ‘Chi’ who fronts the band has a huge rock voice that just doesn’t stop. The band’s sound is rounded out by twin guitars, bass, drums, big riffs, spaghetti western, Texas blues, thumping beats and fat bottom end. http://www.agirlsagun.com/

Four professional session musicians from the Hawkesbury have banded together as a side project. They call themselves “Woodford”.

In the true tradition of the protest movement they have written and recorded a song about the battle to save Thompson Square, and the historic Windsor Bridge

Listen to the lyrics. Listen to the music. Listen to the message.

Thanks Woodford. History will be kind to you. www.woodfordmusic.com.au
