The Tanelorn Festival

[golfer]

1981 saw the 3 day Tanelorn festival 4 hours drive north of Sydney. Headline acts were Split Enz, Midnight Oil,Men At Work,The Church also on the bill were The Sunnyboys, Mi-Sex, Moving Pictures, Goldrush,Billy Thorpe and many others.
It just so happens that I hold a direct from the desk cassette recording of that festival featuring most of the above mentioned artists.
My thoughts are, I wonder how I woukld go about making a CD of this tape and is there any interest out there for it.

Expressions of interests???

Ideas???

Hi Golfer

I would be very interested in getting a recording of this festival, especially the Midnight Oil section.

I am willing to convert it and distribute if necessary.

If you are interested, please contact me mrnoisy@iprimus.com.au

Thanks
Nathan

I'm still interested in this recording!

I was at the Tanelorn Festival. My parents were typical hippies: long hair, beard (dad only), pot smoking, kombi driving, vegetarian, Bob Dylan and Beatles loving, sarong wearing etc.

In 1981 I was 10 years old. I remember the open spaces and hippies in tents at Tanelorn. I remember watching some of the bands. But mostly I remember the final night. Mi-Sex playing Computer Games was a highlight for me, being an avid Countdown watcher at the time.

Then the Oils came on. Pete was going mad as usual. He had a beanie on, and at one stage he took it off and steam was pouring off his head, and it was highlighted by the lighting. It was awesome. I remember Pete climbing up the speaker stacks and the scaffolding around the stage.

That was it. From that night I was a lifetime Oils fan. Ever since I have bought every record on the day of release. And now that Pete's an MP, I'm looking forward to the day when he will be Prime Minister of Australia.

The icing on the cake would be to hear a recording of that concert 24 years later. If anyone can help out I would be most grateful.

Cheers
Nathan

I wonder if I should just keep this thread going all by myself.

If anyone knows how to contact Golfer, can you let me know please. The email address in the profile doesn't work. Cheers.
