An incomplete list of organisations whom we've given benefit concerts or otherwise sung for. See also our 'gigs' page:
Friends Of Forests & Freespeech - in 2006 we raised about $2,000 for them in a series of events we organised called Trees Can't Talk - But We Can Sing.
Australian Bush Heritage - our 2007 Trees Can't Talk event raised about $600 for this.
Other musical projects of our director, Miguel Heatwole:
Behind The Wire - a compilation of appropriate songs from various artists, assembled as a benefit for asylum seekers persecuted by the Australian government.
Reynardine - an album of scintillatingly intelligent songs written by Miguel's friend Bill Bostle on which he sings lead vocals.
Other singing groups with whom we share common repertoire or members:
Coco's Lunch - we're indeed grateful to this group for their beautiful song All The Wild Wonders.
Loosely Woven - very glad to share our arrangement of Paul Spencer's Green Like Me with our fellow Sydneysiders...and our website host!
Songwriters' websites:
Tony Eardley - wrote Come Away With Me for us. Here are his other world-class songs - very, very highly recommended.
Frankie Armstrong - Legendary singer and voice teacher from England who gave humanity a Message From Mother Earth.
Peter Hicks - Sydney's loss is Tasmania's gain, but at least we've held onto this little patch of the Peter Hicks/Geoff Francis team!
Phyl Lobl - describes herself as a 'cultural maintainance worker' The Shannon Rise is a piece of culture we're happy to have around.
Leon Rosselson - English songwriter whose anti-nuclear songs Across The Hills and Sleep Well we have recorded and enjoy [if that's the right word] singing.
John Warner - is one of Australia's best writers in the folk tradition. Murrumbidgee Water is only one of the tremendous songs from Yarri Of Wiradjuri and John has many other fine albums to is credit.
Fay White - is a songmaker and facilitator of community music. Faye includes in her work a considerable body of songs on environmental issues, not unnlike Universe's Daughter

Illawarra Folk Festival - held at Bulli showground in the Illawarra.
