Paul Wookey's first class flat picking and Gold Guitar winning vocal, Jack Melbourne's driving banjo, high lonesome voice and tasteful dobro, Aron (Pig) McLean's double bass, baritone vocal and bad jokes, Josh Grundy’s hot picking on the mando and the amazing fiddle work and insanity of Peter Denahy makes for an entertaining experience that you will be wishing never ends! " “Paul Wookey may just be the best traditional blues country singer to emerge in Australia in many years. I don't think I have heard any who cover the range of material he does with such ease and conviction - from Dylan to Jimmie Rogers he has that rare ability to invest a song with a quality uniquely his own and there is no finer interpreter of a Hank Williams song around. In addition, he's an outstanding guitar picker - try trading licks with him on fast fiddle tune - he'll leave you breathless,” Mike McClellan. | |

He road tested a lot of new songs while on tour . One of these was a ditty called "The Petrol Head Fly". This classy song is one in a small series of bug songs that includes "Bruce the Spider" and "The Dung Beetle" (which was performed on Red Faces in 2009 as part of the first Hey Hey It's Saturday reunion shows). | |
