September 2009 - Hi everyone, the weather here has been so beautiful its inspired us to get into the recording process again and capture the band as a five piece. Bill and I have been busy writing new songs. August saw the addition of our fifth member Mary Cannon on Tin Whistle and Flute. Mary is also a great set formation organiser for the bush dances I might add! We have been playing in some lovely places again, including a gorgeous bush dance wedding at Federal, where spring was definitely in the air. We are looking forward to playing at the Akoostik festival on the 17th October at Wingham, it looks like a great place to play at and visit. Don't forget to check out our MySpace page, till next time, Cheers Liz ------------------------- (More News

News ==================
April 2009 - Hi everyone; We've had a very busy December and January with lots of amazing opportunities to play music in many varied places. In December we were invited to play for the Multitask Showcase of Ability, as part of the International Day of People with a Disability, it was a fantastic day, we ran a bush dance and it was great to see everyone having so much fun.
================== September 2008 - How's it been going. Quite a few things have happened since the last time we updated the news and it's mostly been good. Firstly we've been invited to play at the Cygnet Folk Festival in Tasmania (click the blue links to find out more) next January and the Woodford Folk Festival at the end of the year. It'll be a lot of fun and we're really looking forward to it. Secondly we've been joined by a very talented young chap by the name of Matt Elliot. Not only is Matt a fine drummer but he is also a very accomplished guitarist and banjo player. ================== P.S.
When we are busking & at
Gigs, lots of people have made videos and taken pictures with cameras and mobile phones of
us while we are playing. If you are one of those people we 'd love to have a look so
please email us. Thrillbilly Stomp.
================== A Review from the Dunoon Gazette Newspaper from the recent Bush Dance for Pics or more please click link here Dunnon Gazette. Dunoon Sports and Rec Club’s bush dance, held on Saturday 6th September, was a foot-stomping, thigh-slapping success! There were many new faces among the crowd of usual members and guests. It was wonderful to see so many people on the dance floor - from toddlers to octogenarians. The kids were the first to get up of course - some of the adults needed a little liquid encouragement before they were game to take part! Thrillbilly Stomp played great bush dance tunes and all the dances were called so there was no excuse not to join in. Although many of us got confused and danced in opposite directions, it all worked out and we ended up laughing and loving it! ================== On to other things. The other day I saw B.P Pete and he asked me how you get to Wadeville. Click here for the Directions If you've understood these directions we'll see you there. If you prefer Map directions you can go to http://maps.google.com.au/ and use the "Get directions" link from there as well as an alternative.
================== April 2008 - How's it all going? We had a great time in Canberra, saw some great performances and had some good jams. The master class with Mike Compton was great. We invested in a woodskin drum while we were down there which we've used once at the last Bangalow gig. It has a bass drum and snare drum sound which can be operated with the feet so it's perfect for us. At the last Wadeville gig Billy came along and he had had a problem with one of the cds he had purchased. If anybody else has a problem with their cds let us know and we can send a replacement. The piece of music this month is another little groove we sometimes jam on in the Monday night guitar class. Till next month. Cheers Bill. P.s A Big Thank you to Lenny Howden for the dvd he made for us at Wadeville . ================== March 2008 - This month we're off
to the National Folk Festival in Canberra. We On the Tab & SheetMusic Page
this month is a simple three part ================== February 2008 - This month we have another traditional tune on the sheet music page called "Cripple Creek". It's a nice little finger picking guitar arrangement with alternating bass line. For all the people who were at the Slipway on the 18th of January we now have the photos up on the Stompers Gallery page. You look like one of the happiest groups of people I've ever seen. Feel free to drop us a line if you've got any questions about playing the tunes or whatever. Till next month Cheers. Bill. ================== December 2007 - December ended on a good note with a trip up to the Woodford Folk Festival to play with the Blues Skillet Rovers. The power blew up halfway through the first gig but the Rovers being an acoustic act just jumped down on the dancefloor and we finished the gig there. It was a real hoot. Highlight for us at Woodford was the Greencards joined by Rod Macormack. What a band. The mandolin playing of Kym Warner blew us away. In March We're headed down to Canberra for the National Folk Festival where I'll be attending some Mandolin Master Classes with Mike Compton, mandolinist on the "Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack and "Down from the Mountain" concert dvd. Looking forward to it. Till next month cheers Bill ==================
