This is a rough record of what was broadcast as "Folkwest", a program on what was 6UVSFM (now RTRFM) 1986-2004. It is not complete and not particularly accurate as I typed what I believed the announcer said, and didn't always get it. Also, I missed some programs and parts of others. But it may be of interest to presenters and listeners of that period, and perhaps to some artists who were played.
It was only ever intended to be my own personal record - because I also recorded all the shows off-air onto cassette, and could look at the file if I didn't know who or what I was listening to later. I've long ago thrown away all the cassettes.
It was easy to write it as a webpage. So here it it is. Xmas Day, 2021.
The links don't work.
Folkwest began as "Homegrown" on 6UVS FM in 1980, with Dave Holtz.

This show mainly featured artists who were at the Australian National Folk festival over Easter. Featured album "A Small World" by NSW world fusion band "Hottentot Party" - exuberant dance music, with lots of diversity and some infectious grooves. Also several tracks by the stunning young singer Zulya Kamalov (she records just as "Zulya"), originally from Russia, now resident in Tasmania. A name to watch! Also, a teaser from Steve Tilston and Maggie Boyle's new album, followed by a tune from Riverdance
fiddler Eileen Ivers named after the book written by the subject of the previous song, leading into the Bill Whelan piece which started the whole chain of events that led to Riverdance.

Two's Company: a special show honouring the fine art of the duet. Highlights include tracks from the wonderful new albums by Martin Simpson and Wu Man, and Mike Marshall and a variety of collaborators playing Brazilian choro tunes (see reviews page). Also harmonica and feet, two mandolin duets, a kora duet, hurdy gurdy and harmonium and assorted fiddles. I started planning this show thinking it would be a challenge to get two hours worth, and ended up with about six! The problem was in deciding what to leave out - hence no Swarbrick, Carthy! I'll do another one of these some time - and of course, "three's a crowd" beckons.

22 June 1997 Steve Barnes (Notes from the Website)
Lots of flutes on the show, featuring the new CD Morning Rory by the latest young sensation on the English folk scene, Michael McGoldrick. A virtuoso on uilleann pipes, flute and low whistle in his early twenties, McGoldrick won the BBC Young Tradition Award last year and is now a hot property. He toured with Lunasa last year, and is rumoured to be touring with Capercaillie later this year. He also appears on Kate Rusby's gorgeous new solo CD, Hourglass, which also appears on this program. Other flutes on the show come from Irish master Matt Molloy, Chinese bamboo flute specialist Guo Yue, Indian flautist Hariprasad Chaurasia, and Australian shakuhachi player Riley Lee.
Not all is flutes, though: J. P. Cormier is a Canadian multi-instrumentalist singer and songwriter from Cape Breton whose excellent new CD Another Morning arrived in the mail recently - a treat to get something really good via the internet! Find out more about him via Borealis Records. Also, a track from the new Waterson:Carthy
album, a couple of Ewan MacColl covers, and a track from a self-titled CD by an excellent Scottish-style fiddle and guitar duo from Adelaide, Kilmarnock. To obtain Michael McGoldrick's CD, contact Smallworld Music, fax 44 0 181 520 5205

A couple of digressions on the show - one to mark ANZAC day weekend, and the other to congratulate the Maritime Union of Australia on their sterling efforts in thwarting the bastardry of Patricks' Stevedoring and the Howard government. 'On ya down there at the picket!

Folkwest Playlist - May 31st 1998
Presenter: Steve Barnes
A double feature - two wonderful albums of guitar/mandolin duets from very
different traditions. The first, Doc and Dawg, features two giants of
American acoustic traditional music, Doc Watson and David Grisman, captured
in a gentle, informal down-home session. This leads into a bit of an
exploration of Grisman's giant role in shaping New Acoustic Music, (plus a
bit of klezmer on the side... ).
The second feature, Serenata by Beppe Gambetta and Carlo Aonza, is a
dazzling recreation of the virtuoso guitar and mandolin music which was
popular in the bars and cafes of northern Italy around the turn of the
century - new acoustic music many decades ahead of its time. These pieces
have been meticulously researched and restored, but these aren't dusty
museum relics. This is passionate music, brilliantly played from the soul,
combining classical virtuosity and sensitivity with the authentic folk feel
of the cafŽ.
Plus the usual side-trips along the way - a Topical visit to Indonesia, some
recent releases from the excellent Canadian label Borealis, and an old
favourite from Italy.

Folkwest Play list July 5th 1998, presenter Steve Barnes
Featuring the new CD by virtuoso English guitarist Martin Simpson, Cool and Unusual, a remarkable collection of mainly well-known standard tunes in fascinating arrangements, including collaboration with some Malagasy musicians on a couple of tracks. This serves as a jumping off point to explore some great versions of "standards" - really well known material, saved from banality by imaginative treatments. Starting with quite a few American standards, to mark the day after the 4th of July! And a couple of tracks to highlight the forthcoming visit to Perth by brilliant Welsh triple harpist Robin Huw Bowen.

26 July 1998 Steve Barnes
A totally self-indulgent show featuring slidey stringed things of one kind or another - dobros, lap steels, pedal steels, bottleneck six string - on which a very high proportion of cuts feature a major musical hero of mine, Jerry Douglas. His new CD on Sugar Hill, Restless on the Farm, is the backbone of the show. Long time Douglas associates Tim and Mollie O'Brien, Edgar Meyer and Rus Barenberg also make frequent appearances. Much of this material is on the ever-reliable Sugar Hill label, who can be found at http://www.sugarhillrecords.com/
Artist/Album/Title/Year/Label
Jerry Douglas, "Things in life", Restless on the Farm, 1998, Sugar Hill
Tim O'Brien and the O'Boys, "Heartbreak game", Oh Boy O'Boy, 1993, Sugar Hill
Mollie O'Brien, "Alaska", Tell it True, 1996, Sugar Hill

Maura O'Connell, "Blue chalk" (John Gorka), Stories, 1995, Hannibal
John Gorka, "Let them in Peter", House on Fire 2, 1997, Red House, St Paul, Minnesota
Anne Weiss, "Particles of rain", Crossing the Border, 1998, Own label (No particular connection with the rest of the show, but a nice segue from one American singer/songwriter to another. Anne Weiss comes from Portland, Oregon. Her CD is mainly electric and Joni Mitchellish, but this track and a couple of others really stand out. Find her on http://www.rahul.net, hrmusic, artists, awart.html)
Jerry Douglas, "Takarasaka", Restless on the Farm, Sugar Hill, 1998
Norman Blake, "Southern railroad blues", Fields of November, 74, Flying Fish (An old favourite from the guitarist and songwriter who first started me on the road to folk ruin at a concert in Toronto in about 1980.)
Sam Bush, "Ozzie and Max", Howlin' at the Moon, 1998, Sugar Hill (New one from Sam - one of the few tracks on the CD where the mandolin really gets to shine.)
Douglas Barenberg and Meyer, "Monkey Bay", Skip Hop and Wobble, 1993, Sugar Hill (Sam joins the trio on a cut from possibly my favourite CD on the planet.)

Phil Manning, "Stand by your man", Two Roads, 1997, Tamborine (Phil Manning's CD is almost all solo slide guitar, vocal - an object lesson in less-is-more production. You don't need anything else when you play this well. Contact him and good-time blues, ragtime, jazz duo Alex Burns and Nick Charles through Black Market Music, GPO Box 4832, Melbourne 3001, Vic, Australia, fax 61-3-9326 8887)

Scott & Louisa Wise, "Winterbeach", Winterbeach, 1995, Own label
Ten Cent Shooters, "No No Blues", Sweet to Mama, 1996, Own label (Western Australian native acoustic blues, featuring Scott Wise's dobro. To find either of these acts contact slwise@netserv.net.au. Now a couple of tracks featuring Fremantle's own favourite dobro and pedal steel player and the voice of the ABC's The Planet, very possibly the best music radio show on the planet. I --speak of Lucky Oceans, of course.)
Kavisha Mazzella, "Madonna del mare", Mermaids in the Well, 1996, Own label
Lucky Oceans, "Precious child", Lucky Steals the Wheel, ?, Blind Pig (Followed by, what else, the Planet's theme tune.)
Toumani Diabate, Ketama & Danny Thompson, "Jarabi", Songhai, 88, Hannibal (Leading us into West Africa, and a set of musical collaborations involving well known slidey people.)

Now back to the feature CD.) (Missed most of this.)

After all the Clinton/Lewinsky drivel that's been coming out of the US over the last few weeks, here's an antidote - some great American singer/songwriters, featuring the new tribute CD to the late Kate Wolf, and Nanci Griffith's latest exploration of her musical roots. Also a side trip to Bulgaria, and another tribute, to the late Lal Waterson
who very sadly died of cancer a few weeks back.
Artist, Album, Title, Year, Label
Druha Trava, Czechmate, Spain, 98, Venkow, Polygram Czechoslovakian spacegrass to kick off with - amazing playing on the Chick Corea tune. I decide what's folk around here!
Tim O'Brien, Red on Blonde, Tombstone Blues, 96, Sugar Hill
Druha Trava, Czechmate, One more cup of coffee for the road, 98, Venkow, Polygram
Nanci Griffith, Other Voices Other Rooms, Boots of Spanish Leather, 93, Elektra A trilogy of Dylan covers, closing with a track from the first of Nanci's two albums paying her respects to her musical origins. One from the second volume follows.
Nanci Griffith, Other Voices Too, Deportees, 98, Elektra
Nanci Griffith, Treasures Left Behind, Friend of Mine, 98, Red House Kate Wolf was a Californian singer, songwriter with a voice you could swim in. She died at a tragically young age of leukemia in 1986, but continues to be a huge influence on American folk songwriters. Treasure left behind features some of the best of them, doing lovely covers of Kate's songs. Gorgeous, very mellow album, available in Australia through Shock Records, ph 03 9482 3666, fax 03 9482 3873.
Kate Wolf, Close to You, Across the Great Divide, 81, Kaleidoscope
John Gorka, Treasures Left Behind, Sweet Love, 98, Red House
John Gorka, Between Five and Seven, The Mortal Groove, 96, Windham Hill
Greg Brown, Further In, China, 96, Red House. John Gorka and Greg Brown are two of the very best of the huge field of US singer, songwriters. Both record on Red House, available in Oz on Shock (see above). China, far far away, seemed to lead naturally to Bulgaria...

Waterson:Carthy, "Stars in my crown", Common Tongue, Topic
TSCD 488, 1997. Lal Waterson, as part of the Watersons and as a truly unique singer and songwriter, will be very sorely missed. Another tragically young cancer victim, she died two weeks ago. The first three of the foregoing songs are written by her, the last track is one of the last recorded pieces of Waterson family magic. Back to Nanci's new one...

Hesperus, Early American Roots, Childgrove, 98, Maggies Music Maggies Music are an excellent US-based label specialising in Celtic music. Fear not, this isn't wafty Enyoid schlock, it's good tasty music. They have a great line-up of very fine players, who all take turns on one another's albums it seems. Website www.maggiesmusic.com, email mail@maggiesmusic.com. Cathy Barton and Dave Para, Crazy Quilt, Levee Breakdown, Jefferson City Hornpipe, 98, own label Down-home duo specialising in traditional music from Missouri. Very nice unpretentious stuff.

classic. Not many people would dare.
third side

Keola Beamer, Mauna Kea White Mountain Journal, Imi au Ia Oe, 98, Dancing Cat. A teaser for my next show on November 8th - an Island special, with emphasis on Hawaii. This is the essence of the slack-key style. Thanks for listening if you have been!

What started out as a feature on the new McGarrigles family reunion CD "The McGarrigle Hour" got completely out of hand and ended up being a Canadian, specifically French Canadian, feature, with lots of help from a superb sampler from the Festival lable (The Canadian one, not the Australian one), details of which can be found at their web site, http://www.festival.bc.ca/to-go/.) The McGarrigles album, the Emmy Lou Harris "Spyboy" CD, and Hank Dogs are distributed in Australia by Festival (the Australian one), and Mollie O'Brien and Doc and Merle Watson by Shock - see also www.sugarhillrecords.com.

Some recent English releases
Nancy Kerr and James Fagan/ Starry Gazy Pie/ Jack Orion/ Fellside
(delightful album from this Anglo/Australian duo - traditional music with taste, skill and wellie).
Fairport Convention/ Who knows where the time goes/ "Dangerous"/ Woodworm
(A listener dropped by with the Fairport, Steeleye and Mckennitt albums. I wouldn't normally play "requests" like this, but the show was a "wing-it" job, and the material was appropriate - I'd just announced an upcoming Fairport gig in Fremantle. A lesson in not playing tracks you haven't heard before, though - great Kristina Olsen song, but an awful version marred by heavy handed drumming and bad singing. Will this band ever retire?)
Speaking of never retiring....
Steeleye Span/ Harkstow Grange/ Old Turf Fire/
Christmas more...

Tansey's Fancy/ Tansey's Fancy/ Cherry Tree Carol/ Larrikin

Great New Years Eve track from one my favourite albums of the year - exuberant, happy Malagasy roots dance music.
Martin Simpson and David Hidalgo/ Music in native tongues/ El Jarabe Loco/ Water Lily Acoustics
Scott and Louisa Wise/ Winterbeach/ Song for Pip/ own
Scott and Louisa Wise/ Winterbeach/ The Singing Tree/ own
(The last two tracks by way of compensation - Louisa Wise was supposed to be guest presenter on this show but sadly couldn't make it. These tracks also to commemorate a wonderful event held in Fremantle last nigh to celebrate Scott'stwenty years as a luthier. Dozens of different performers played, all playing Scott Wise instruments. A truly unforgettable occasion, with a great sense of community).

7 March 1999 Steve Barnes
This started out being a feature for the day before International Women's Day, and who better to celebrate that with than Eileen Ivers? The Riverdance
fiddler has a new CD which reinforces her reputation as not only one of the great virtuosi of Irish fiddling but also one of the most exciting and innovative talents in folk music anywhere. She melds trad Irish tunes with hip-hop, son, flamenco and chamber music among other styles, in a way which seems totally natural and logical.
We've got a number of brilliant female singers and players coming through Perth in the next few weeks - Norma Waterson, Mairead ni Mhaonaigh of Altan, Zulya Kamalova, Nancy Kerr and the Wrigley Sisters (the last three acts all at the Fairbridge festival), so they all got a run on today's show.
Zulya's new CD Aloukie is also a gem. More tightly focussed than her debut CD Journey of Voice, Aloukie focusses on the traditional songs of Zulya's Tatarstani heritage. (If you run a Word spelling checker on "Tatarstani" it tries to turn it into "Tearstain" - who says computers don't have souls?). It's a lovely piece of work showcasing Zulya's extraordinary range and maturity as a singer, and the accompaniment (mainly by multi-instrumentalists Mal Webb and Martin Tucker) is sparse, tasty and appropriate.
The show also features an interview and a couple of live-to-air songs from Ballarat singer/songwriter Michael Kennedy, wrapping up his first tour over to Western Australia. His gorgeous voice, subtle guitar work and delightful songs won many fans here, and he has gained the honour of becoming the first act booked for the 2000 Fairbridge Festival. We look forward to having him back.

Presenter Steve Barnes
A diverse collection. Feature CD: new release "This Blue World" by Louisa Wise, half of duo Scott and Louisa Wise, heard regularly on this show, from Margaret River in the south-west of WA. A lovely collection of distinctive new songs and tunes. Also, selected tracks from a not-for-sale sampler "Soundscape of Finland", obtained through Cliff Furnald's Roots World website/e-zine - music from the Sibelius Academy of Finland. Those Finns really treasure their folk music. Also, new stuff from very witty Canadian songwriter Nancy White, plucked strings from West Africa and Western Australia, and new stuff from American-Irish virtuosos Solas.

Kristina's song about loneliness on the road then leads into Tracy Spring's take on families, music and touring.

My show this month celebrates the 20th birthday of the excellent British magazine Folk Roots, or Froots as it's known these days. Scattered through the show are some of my favourite tracks from the free cover CDs which the magazine gives out to subscribers twice a year, and though which I have discovered many of the favourite artists I love to play for you on this show. The latest one, Froots 13, is amply represented! Wonderful acoustic music from the Congo to start with.
Mose Fan Fan (Congo), "Malimba", Froots 13, Froots, 1999
Followed by a Topical song about the Exxon Valdez disaster, relevant to the oil spill in Sydney last week, followed by a new masterpiece about the fate of her homeland from a passionate English songwriter:

Maggie Holland, "A place called England", Froots 13, Froots, 1999

Three great female voices to follow. Eva Cassidy was an extraordinary singer in the blues, jazz tradition, who died tragically at 33 from melanoma. Fortunately some recordings survive.

Ex-Bushwacker Louis McManus is one of the finest folk musicians ever to strike a note in Australia. A series of recent strokes have left him unable to play at present - his friends have rallied around and produced a CD compilations of archival recordings of his amazing playing. The Swedish Jig was recorded in Fremantle in a one-off concert pairing of Louis with Martin Carthy (I was there!). Mandolin players, hear it and weep! A Hawaiian gem featuring slide guitar genius Bob Brozman completes the sandwich - Brozman will be in WA for the Bridgetown Blues Festival in November - don't miss him.

Oct 10 99, presenter Steve Barnes
Every track on today's show is either Australian or has an Australian connection, and lots of it comes from Fremantle. Todays feature CDs are the excellent new release of original instrumentals by Fremantle player and composer Dave Hyams, and the new release by Californian songwriter Kristina Olsen, prominently featuring Freo-based cellist Peter Grayling.
Dave has played in a large number of different folk and rock outfits in WA over many years, as well as writing music for numerous films and TV shows. The CD has been a long time in the making, and it shows - meticulously crafted arrangements of tasty tunes, lots of light and shade in the arrangements, not a note out of place or surplus to requirements, and completely free of self-indulgent noodling. If you enjoy Celtic-New Acoustic fusions along the lines of Donal Lunny and Alisdair Fraser, you'll enjoy this.
Kristina's new CD will be no surprise to those who enjoyed Duet, her previous CD with Peter - similar in conception, but perhaps a bit darker, and equally good.

From: Steve Barnes
Subject: Playlist Folkwest Perth Western Australia Dec 12 99
Presenter Steve Barnes
My last but one of the century. Featuring a wonderful recent release by the outrageously multi-talented American singer, songwriter, fiddler and mandolinist Tim O'Brien (he's probably very kind to old ladies as well). "The Crossing" is the name of the CD. Also fine new releases from June Tabor, Waterson:Carthy, Irish superband Lunasa, and Guy Clarke (sounding like a well-worn and very comfortable pair of slippers). And Dolly Parton - plus some Cowboy music.
Artist/ CD title/ Track/ Year/ Label
Lunasa/ Otherworld/ Laffertys/ 99/ Festival
Tim O'Brien/ The Crossing/ Ireland's Green Shore/ 99/ Alula
Tim and Mollie O'Brien/ Away out on the mountain/ Don't let me come home a stranger/ 94/ Sugar Hill (Wonderful version of the Robin and Linda Williams song, described by Folk Roots as "the best song Richard Thompson
never wrote".)
Tim O'Brien/ The Crossing/ John Riley/ 99/ Alula (a brilliant historical ballad cowritten with Guy Clark)
Guy Clark/ Cold Dog Soup/ Sis Draper/ 99/ Sugar Hill
Dolly Parton/ The Grass is Blue/ Silver Dagger/ 99/ Sugar Hill
June Tabor/ A Quiet Eye/ The Gardener/ 99/ Topic
June Tabor/ A Quiet Eye/ A place called England/ 99/ Topic
(Stunning version of Maggie Holland's passionate polemic for Millennial England - this song is surely destined to become a standard)
Waterson:Carthy/ Broken Ground/ Raggle Taggle Gypsies/ 99/ Topic
(Great old song given new tune and new life by Eliza's gorgeous singing)
Tim O'Brien/ The Crossing/ Wandering/ 99/ Alula
Tim O'Brien/ Red on Blonde/ Subterranean Homesick Blues/ 96/ Sugar Hill (Described as Hillbilly Rap, off-centre hambone-and-mandolin rendition of Dylan's surreal masterpiece)
June Tabor/ A Quiet Eye/ Pharaoh/ 99/ Topic
Richard Thompson/ Mock Tudor/ Hope you like the new me/ 99/ Capitol (Definitely the Creepiest Song of the Year from the boss of songwriters. How does Thompson keep turning out these jewels year after year? Mock Tudor is his best CD since Rumour and Sigh)
Waterson:Carthy/ Broken Ground/ Rowling Hornpipe etc/ 99/ Topic
Dolly Parton/ The Grass is Blue/ The Grass is Blue/ 99/ Sugar Hill
Leading into a set of Cowboy time, Western Swing style:
Dolly Parton with Asleep at the Wheel/ Tribute to the music of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys/ Billy Dale/ 93/ Liberty
Hot Club of Cowtown/ Swinging Stampede/ Silver Dew on the Bluegrass Tonight/ 98/ Hightone Records
Jill Jones and the Lone Star Chorale/ New Day/ Singing on the Trail/ 99/ LSC (Independent release which lovingly captures the Western Swing sound)
Sultans/ The Sultans/ When I was a cowboy/ 99/ Sultans (From a forthcoming live CD by Perth's own string magicians)
Guy Clarke/ Cold Dog Soup/ Indian Head Penny/ 99/ Sugar Hill
Tim O'Brien/ The Crossing/ Down in the Willow Garden/ 99/ Alula
Lunasa/ Otherworld/ Stolen Apples/ 99/ Festival
Joel Mabus/ How Like the Holly/ Let's do Christmas Right/ 99/ Fossil (A great swing-flavoured song from that rarest of beasts, a really enjoyable Christmas album)
Artisan/ Paper Angels/ Christmas Carol/ 98/ Own (The Lehrer masterpiece from another really good Christmas album. What's going on here?)
Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill/ Live in Seattle/ Martin Rochford's/ Green Gowned Lass/ 99/ Green Linnet (Zen traditional Irish. Perfection itself.)
See you again on Boxing Day!
