Hi Clancy
He's in the country music scene - John Callaghan. He actually writes a lot of songs about places and history. At the end of the week he is being flown to Coolgardie in Western Australia to play for their centenary. He wrote a song many years ago called "The Ballad of Varishetti" and it has again become quite popular since the miner were trapped in the mine in Tasmania about a year ago. The song is about a miner being trapped back in 1907.
John also wrote a song for the West Coast Eagles called Waltzing Matera (written for Peter Matera who was big in football at the time). He also wrote a song called "C'Mon Australia" when we were going for the America's Cup (and won) a while ago.
