My thanks to Radio National for introducing me to L J Hill's Namoi Mud. RN has run two tracks so far, and I think that it is great!
I know this country, while Hill's lyrics deal with human experiences.

About this blog
This blog is dedicated to the history, life and culture of Australia's New England, that part of Australia stretching from the Hunter Valley through to the Queensland border and incorporating the Hunter Valley, the Mid North Coast, the Northern Rivers, the New England Tablelands, Slopes and Western Plains.
While New England has still to achieve formal political identity, it has its own character and identity and is, in the words of the Australian poet A D Hope, an ideal in the heart and mind.

I love the song, "Streets of Armidale" and would be grateful for permission to learn it and sing it with a local band (The Bakers Creek Band) Dylan 67781186
Hi Dylan
Sorry for the delay in responding. You need to contact Mr Hill direct - http://www.inertia-music.com/catalogue/49066/L.j._Hill/Namoi_Mud/. Inertia should be able to put you in touch with him.
