CASTOR OIL, KERO AND BLUEBAGS: HOMEMADE MEDICINE


Our latest podcast is now available at https://yarnsofoz.podbean.com/


This time we’re having a listen to how people dealt with accidents and illness in the days before medical attention was easily available. Treating the everyday afflictions of colds, stings, hangovers – and piles – was often a ‘kill or cure’ experience. Definitely not to be tried at home!

AFTER THE FESTIVAL ...

Our Crims, Crooks and Cops session went well on the Saturday, as did the Tassie Verandah Music session on Sunday. Thanks to Erin Collins,Kris Willis, Geoff Iliff and Kerrie Maguire and our enthusiastic audiences.

Our next stop on this journey is a three-day recording session to document our repertoire and associated collections and researches. We might post a few items on Soundcloud as well.
