The Divide

The most recent CD from Bob Campbell, and most interesting, is now available.  Recorded, produced, mixed, mastered and graphically designed in Newcastle with Matt Gaudry and Rob Long.

The CD had its genesis in the 90s when they played in Bob's band, Home Rule, for a year or two.  These two virtuoso musicians brought a professional approach to the music when Matt and Rob recorded, produced and played on the best Home Rule CD so far - THE JOINERS' ARMS.

Matt and Bob spent a considerable amount of time touring and playing in Germany where Matt's keyboard skills gave the Australian Celtic roots music a unique sound.   A decade later, the three have come together to give voice to a collection of original songs; seven written by Bob and three by other writers, including the great John Dengate.

A COMPILATION OF 20 YEARS RECORDING - 1987 to 2007
This CD contains fourteen songs and tune sets that have appeared on Home Rule's ten previous albums since their first vinyl recording in 1987.  Home Rule was founded in 1984 when Bob Campbell, Sharon Frost, Andy Mortimer and Bob Burns got together in Mudgee where they began twenty two years of more or less regular sessions at Roth’s Wine Bar. 

Since then the band appeared on many TV and radio programs, at festivals and numerous major venues including the Opera House in Sydney and the Gulgong Opera House on hundreds of occasions. They have taken their music overseas, particularly Germany and Ireland and maintained a cultural presence throughout Central Western NSW from their base in Gulgong. During its existence, dozens of musicians from around Australia and overseas have played live and on recordings with the band.

FREEDOM ON THE WALLABY

Henry Lawson, Australia’s best known and loved poet and short story writer, resided in Gulgong during the 1870s Gold rush and drew on the area for many of his stories and poems in later life. A tragic romantic, he died far too early after losing a battle with alcohol and serving time in jail because he could not pay his debts. Ironically, his face appeared on the first ten dollar note along with Gulgong street scenes.  The Lawson works, with two exceptions, were written between 1889 and 1900 when Henry Lawson was at his revolutionary best and fired by sympathy for working class people around the time of the 1891 Shearers Strike that played such an influential role in the consciousness of that period. 

Local musicians, Dennis Ryan and Ross Kurtz also played on several tracks.  Dennis Ryan was a lifelong exponent of the Scottish bagpipes and a latter day convert to the haunting, evocative Irish pipes which he plays to great effect on two tracks. In times gone by, Dennis spent extended periods each year improving his techniques in Ireland.  Ross Kurtz, well known and respected painter and member of the famous Stringybark Band plays tin whistle.

The CD can be purchased online or at various outlets in Mudgee and Gulgong.
