Dirt Music Club first crawled out from the deep mangrove sloughs of Sandgate somewhere around the turn of the century. In it's earliest form this primitive creature evolved from the simplest of zygotes into a ragged bunch of disparate dogged (and desperate?) old timey music fans and jammers joining a circle to play favourite rag, country blues and bluegrass tunes from the first part of the twentieth century...music's "Golden Age"...as well as some hand-picked tunes of favourite contempory artists (Steve James, Roy Bookbinder and the like...). Every now and then an original piece even wormed it's way in there.
While the creature was yet a toddler of the terrible two's long time stalwart and founding father Dave Martyn sailed the seas in pursuit of other dreams...
In a fit of pique the remaining founding fathers Ruff Cut Mark Anderson [mandolin/banjo/banjolin/vocal] and Old Deliverance Tony Von Wieldt [acoustic guitar/slide guitar/mandolin/banjolin etc] called upon cousin Coojee Timms [acoustic guitar/vocal], slap happy pappy Gav Becker [stick bass] and occassionally (when he's in town) "Thumpin' Pig" Max Christensen [drums] to help out with the dirty dishes.
Now with a new and questionable lease on life Dirt Music Club, the acoustic musical combo returns...
