The Loudshirts are a string band based in Central Victoria, Australia. They are a 'good times' band that offers an audio visual feast based on acoustic instruments - mainly guitar, banjo, mandolin, double bass and occasionally fiddle. Members include: Chips Wardle; Mark Pottenger; Andrew Barcham and Barry Fitzpatrick.
Their repertoire includes Dean Martin classics, fiddle tunes gleaned from a cassette with only one working channel, a gospel number rescued from a stack of hymnals between a bread maker and a manual, and “Windows 95 for Dummies.”
Now clad in outfits they describe as “aggressively tropical” they are set to appear at the Mountain Pickers on February 24th where they will no doubt mount an assault on several of your senses.
Don’t miss the opportunity.
