When You Give That Tuppence Back, Charlie Dear. A union strike song.
Просмотров 4311 месяцев назад
In 1911, the coal city of Lithgow, NSW, went into strike mode. It was a long and bitter strike prompted by the union's request for an additional tuppence in the tonne. Mine operator Charles Hoskins responded by reducing the tonnage by tuppence. Not a good idea! Collected in 1973 from Jim Champion and Jack Mays by Warren Fahey.

Cattle don't stampede in Australia. They rush. Please don't use Americanisms. This is Australia, use Australian terminology.
I do try to avoid Americanisms (and America) and I prefer rush, stampede is used in Australia as well. Thanks for the feedback
Thanks Warren !
Piddled ? Not in the South London version of my youth
These funny sounding cowpunchers aren’t recognized enough. You’ve got great content
2:39 - "when severe drought hit the central west...". The central west is actually centred around Orange and Bathurst, not Broken Hill.
Can you tell me the name of the song that is sung mid way through the video please!?!?
Very poignant, and excellent rendition. Nice to hear one of his songs other than 'Little Pot Stove'. Thanks for sharing!

Really enjoyed mate thank you Need more stories like these Good on you 👍
Hi! I will try to watch this video and a movie about Sidney Kidman, "Kidman - The Cattle King", is very hard for me watch it completly in english, it is hard to understand with may very basic english, when the voice speak slowly is easier for me. In the last years I was very interested in Américan Cowboys Culture , in one point, because it was in our childhood in Argentina, beause de moviés and the TV series, we grew up watching that stories of hard and brave people fighting aganist the giant and wild territory and the other people, usually Indian People, but also other european people. Anyway I apreciate the courage and determination of that people, something that evidently also Happen in other places like Australia, South Africa, New Zaeland and my country Argentina. Here we have very similar weather and landscape conditions with Australia, in our farms we have "Australian Tanqs" of tin pieces (a corrugated sheet) to have water in the pampa tipical establishments (find it in internet "Tanque australiano) All that people share mor or less the same devices, the same tecnology, in base of the horse, the guns and ususal things. I guess that the concience of how harde is the life of man against the force, the power and the rules of nature was mainly forgotten for the today men, and I find very interesting to try to study and learn somting surely good of all of them. Best wishes from Argentina
I wonder if Kidman was alive today, what would be his thoughts be on todays world where Gov overreach is everywhere, stifling entrepreneural enterprises. That overreach began in the 1990's.
Australia produced two great Tina singers, Tina Date and Tina Lawton.❤ Great upload
Perfection! As a big Gary fan I've be looking everywhere for episodes of Just folk
there are three programs on my website www.warrenfahey.com.au
The viewer (that's you) needs to understand the above image is a filmed version of a multi-screen installation which covered the entire wall of the officer's barracks on Cockatoo Island. Three computers screened the image composites onto six large panel screens. The music, mostly traditional segments from the National Library of Australia, were married to archival film, drawings, maps, and photographs. The program follows the island's history from colonial goal to colonial dockyard, then as an the Biloela institution for naughty girls and then the Vernon naval training centre for equally naughty boys. Next, the island became a shipworks, sometimes in partnership with the newly founded Australian Navy. The installation was an immersive experience. It was acknowledged as the most-visited installation of the 2010 Biennale of Sydney. One of my intentions with the project was to show how traditional song segments can be used in archival project - they add, I believe, a unique flavour. These musical segments were selected from the John Meredith Collection and Warren Fahey Collection of the NLA. Incidental music came from the Rouseabout Records catalogue. Contemporary songs acknowledgement: Gary Shearston, John Dengate, Colin Dryden, Phyl Lobl, and a couple by myself. After the Biennale finished I offered the installation to the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust for permanent placement on Cockatoo Island - they refused on the ground that they had no one to look after the computer programming - ie turning it on and off. Shameful.
Comments welcome
Interesting sounds like America's depression as well
The Depression hit Australia harder than any country.
I'd disagree, Australia was fine but very very poor policy and incompetent government and rampant cronyism and corruption and greatly delayed the recovery of the state and left Australia very poorly prepared for WW2 leading to Australia's abysmal war performance in many ways .. central Europe and Chile were hardest hit . Countries like Poland, Hungary, Austria and germany. Hitler within months pulled Germany and then Austria out of their near total economic collapse (who said socialism doesn't work) but Poland was absolutely clobbered as was Hungary right up until ww2. Chile didn't recover till WW2 either . They made much of their income from mining exports and agricultural exports and had no local industry and large debts and little or no trade with neighbours. Australia experienced high unemployment but it's financial institutions were far more sound than in America or continental Europe for example, there was also a better developed regional system of welfare . The US had overall slightly lower unemployment but those unemployed had a very harsh time and the loss of property was higher than Australia as many institutions collapsed totally leaving large debts @@bodgiefahey
@@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367 In retrospect I would have to agree. We were hit sideways, especially for a country which had been economically very successful ... but not comparable to the Central Europe and some Sth American countries because their trade dried up totally.
@@bodgiefahey yep. Australia was hard hit without a doubt, new Zealand too. Mostly due to loss of markets but the capital didn't evaporate.. inflation was minimal. The average Australian person was much wealthier at the time than the average person in the rural midwest or southern USA or rural Britain or even rural Canada for that matter. let alone poor rural people in Europe. There was no big population shifts in Australia. In canada and the USA this depression combined with banking collapses and the dustbowl and flooding in the prairie states. There was no sharecropping or crofters like in the southern USA or Scotland and Ireland. Canada had more than 100000 rural refugees flood it's cities for example. America probably millions. Both the USA and Canada were close to violent social conflict and this can be seen in government documents of the time. Social order in Australia was much better . There was the old guard and some leftist and union groups but in general there was no large transient restless populations or. Specific areas that were exceptionally depressed. Australia had work for the dole type projects like clearing bush or welfare payments that kept people from starving where as in the American south at the same time millions fled due to malnutrition and many came close to starvation. The big issue in both Australia and New Zealand was the very high unemployment and the very slow increase in employment rates. The issue was that the DD ole jobs created were unproductive.. clearing scrub on salt flats or such nonsence... Draining swamps.. But the Americans projects were massive nation building wealth generating projects that made real jobs, dams, power stations, flood prevention. Forestry plantations.. military dock yards and dry docks etc. usefully highways, rail bridges and tunnels. America (and Germany) gained very important infrastructure that was vital for progress and was used a lot during WW2. Australia in this time and new Zealand dud nothing just chugging along . Meat and wool and wheat rose again. Japan needed, nickel , iron and coal, cotton and food for its war in china.. which Australia supplied and things slowly corrected themselves without much chaos. Australia should have in this time built military factories, ships, submarines, ports, dams, the hydro power projects should have happened then .. not in the 60s . Canberra should have been built and settled and been a city with an urban rail network and industrial capacity and a booming population by WW2 . They had the resources, people and time to do it. But instead monopolies, petty scans and cronyism and corruption blocked everything and it also caused the same stagnation to take place in WW2 as well. Just remember Australia never had a submarine, aircraft carrier or any navy to speak of in the war or after fof many years. WW1s navy was stronger. But they new a sea war was comming.. the money was just allocated to other scams. In the war the British used Australians like a meat puppet.. a gimp.. taking all their men asaircrews for bombers or tying them up for British interests while no British ships or aircraft protected Australia .. such as it was / is in your nation. Nothing great has ever come of it. It's a loot chest for the rest of the world. Was then.. is now. (The reason there was never big projects is because British and American firms saw these state projects as competitive to their interests)
I wonder where the slouch hat came into this history. When did the two branch off?
a simple rabbit felt bush hat with one side turned up so the soldier could salute! First adopted by military police in Victoria and became the standard brown slouch hat in the 1880s.
As a country boy, I’ve always had a fascination with this place: since in 1954, my grandfather taught me to sing The Woolloomooloo Lair!
This would not have been an unusual sight in the bush. Entertainment was what you made of it and an accordion or concertina was the ideal accompaniment for a step dance.
All Cruel stories
is this the guy who sued men at work?
No. Long story short. I sold my publishing company TEN years before the multinational publisher bought Kookaburra and then sued. Disgraceful action.
😊😊😊😊
Came looking for your version of this song and was delighted to find a live version! Wonderful! You deserve more views.
Well done, my compliments Warren.
