To celebrate the release of LONG GONE WHISTLE The Songs Of Maurice
Frawley, co-producers and creative partners; Paul Kelly and Charlie
Owen have invited the performers of LONG GONE WHISTLE to join them on
stage at the fundraising album launch which will be held on Thursday
August 19th at The Esplanade Hotel, St Kilda.
The Frawley family has advised that monies raised by ticket sales for
this event will be donated to continuing the Music program established
by Maurice at Rochester Secondary College, where he was working and
teaching prior to his passing.
DON’T MISS THE FUND-RAISING ALBUM LAUNCH with performances by: Adalita, Billy Pommer, Clare Bowditch & Henry Wagons, Dan Brodie & Tom Carlyon, Dan Kelly, Kasey Chambers, Megan Washington, Paul Kelly, The Large Number 12’s, Renée Geyer & Spencer P. Jones, Tex Perkins, The Frawleys, The Panics, Tim Rogers & Billy Miller, and The Working Class Ringos.
Each guest will perform their rendition of the Maurice Frawley track they recorded – and as featured on the – Long Gone Whistle.
What they are saying about the album:
“The care and pride with which the artists treat their songs makes this collection astonishing. But beyond the stunning renditions; the aching Lonesome (Adalalita); the lovestruck Old Folks (Tim Rogers & Billy Miller); the tragic, chilling Farmer’s Song (Clare Bowditch and Henry Wagons); or the poignant Happy Home (Owen & Chrissy Amphlett), its Frawley’s poetry and vivid narratives that stay with you, make you catch your breath, smile, or wipe your eyes.” – The Age ‘EG’
“Long Gone Whistle is a gift we never saw coming” reads the advance publicity for the album. For once, this kind of advertising lingo has the unmistakable ring of truth about it. And this writer can seldom remember a record more pure in its intent; namely; that of making sure that these great songs don’t disappear with Frawley’s passing. Let’s make sure it succeeds. – Inpress Magazine
