An Ode to the Festival, by Barry "Bloody" Fuller
Posted on Aug 29, 2006
Dust off your Akubra
And all your wrangler gear
'Cause we're headin' for Nambucca
And 'The Pub That Had No Beer'
Rollout your swags and blankets
The time is drawing near
'Cause we're gonna have a hoedown
Now the Festival is here!
The cream of Aussie rock talent
The best from near and far
And with so many musicians
It's so hard to pick the star
And when you see the venue
-No showground or city hall-
The old Pub's turned it all around
We're gonna have a ball!
So come on all you music fans
Let's make it quite a show
You'll hear Barnsey and the Guru's
Sing hits you all should know
And those still loyal to Rose Tattoo
Give Angry one big cheer
'Cause he's gonna let it all hang out
at 'The Pub That Had No Beer'
You cn talk about your Opera House
And The Stockman's Hall of Fame
The glory road to Tamworth
Where the big guns get their name
They're gonna shrink into the background
Let's shout it loud and clear
Now the Festival's kick started
A 'The Pub That Has No Beer'
