Feedback

Hey Matt.
 Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed Friday night at the Selby Folk Club. It certainly is an unusual venue and we had never been before.

You should all be very proud of yourselves, the thing that always stands out with the Pheasant Pluckers, is they sound fantastic on CD and whilst live is always better for atmosphere etc, the music quality is always first class.

Thanks for a great night, maybe one day we will see you perform at Burrinja Gallery in Upwey. A fantastic venue, small licensed restaurant/cafe, a great space with a great feel. Check it out if you haven't already.

Don't leave it too long until next time, please!

Hi Matt

Well the fabulous feedback on you guys just never stops. Some say it was like being at Tamworth! Just wanted to thank you for Saturday night. I have said it before and everyone keeps confirming it, you sound fantastic, recorded quality in a live performance. Even the teenagers are in awe!

The gig only comes around every two years because it's so huge. Maybe see you next time, it was our pleasure having the Pheasant Pluckers at our humble little School.

Kind regards
Jackie George

Latest recording
"Play Something We Know"

After 10+ years since the band’s birth, three predominantly original albums, several line-up changes and an ever-evolving live set, it was time for another album. We tracked this CD mainly on weeknights in Elsternwick, part by part, starting and stalling a number of times and putting it on ice as other things got in the way. The studio was rebuilt, the studio broke down, the studio was rebuilt again, rooms were renovated, families grew. Plaster dust and a crying baby made pre-production rehearsals of new material ‘technically challenging’, and thus our next original album shuffled off to the back burner. This is a collection of songs by other artists that have avoided the flick from the Pheasant Pluckers’ song list. Our many unrecorded originals and their stories are lining up for the next release.

This was supposed to be a ‘quick & dirty’ to keep the ball rolling with no fussing and tweaking - it slowly became a much loved project that was a truck-load of fun to do. It’s almost a shame that it’s over.

To all those people who took a deep breath at gigs over the years and roared, “Play something we know!”
