Watching: That Half Barbaric Twang

Overview

What do you get when you cross two of Australia’s most recognised television actors with a musical wizard? A troubadour trio of conscientious ‘vagabonds’, 160 years between them, who want to bring their ‘bad ass gospel’ country music to the most remote and marginalised people in Australia. Through their larrikin humour and story telling, they are creating a new wave of excitement in Australia’s fringes, leaving behind smiles and some good ole feeling. Oh and quite a few hangovers. Along the way they meet some quintessential Australian characters, a window into the sunburnt country with its oddballs and strange country folk on the fringes of society.
