In 1985, dad taught me how to play guitar. I was 15 years old. He's a classic campfire style guitarist who can play any song with 4 chords. He's also a fisherman. The first song I ever learnt was Dylans, The times are a changing and I was hooked. My sister Vikki picked up the guitar in about 1988 . She was 14 and playing, House of The Rising Sun. She was hooked. Josh lived on a farm in New South Wales and picked up his first guitar after seeing Michael J fox play Johnny be Good in Back To The Future in 1987. He was also self taught and got hooked at 15. In 1992 Vik, and I bought a campervan and headed off from Albany W.A. to travel around Australia singing. It was just the two of us girls, singing in the front bars of pubs in resorts, gold mines, zinc mines, More...

I also am a huge fan of lighthouses because ive always thought they were cool inside when you look up and see all the swirly stairs and its such a wild song and I love wild music like lighthose man! Bittersweet Memories | Reviewer: Donna ------ About the song Bridal Train performed by The Waifs Visiting my Mom in the final days of her life, I was introduced to this tune by Sara Cruz, a musical therapist for a seniors residence in Northern Arizona. Sara shared that my Mom had fallen in love with her rendition of this tune, frequently requesting that Sara sing this for her. By the time I landed in Arizona, my Mom was already in hospice care and in a near unconscious state. Yet, Sara would pull up a chair and sweetly sing this tune, bringing obvious comfort to my Mom. The bittersweet nature of this song's lyrics apparently spoke deeply to Mom, just as hearing them now these lyrics speak to me of Mom. Bridal Train - Australian Women | Reviewer: Guy ------ About the song Bridal Train performed by The Waifs I love this track. I play it over and over. My son has started singing it in the car with me. It captures an essence of the Australian character so perfectly but it also speaks to the universal experience of people displaced around the world; a commitment to love and an ideal but also of a gutsiness. And it speaks to loss and grief and the pain of life; that life comes at a cost to us all. You guys remind me of the Triffids. Must be something about WA! This Song is awesome | Reviewer: Lauren ------ About the song Lighthouse performed by The Waifs i've listened to this song about 20 times in a row. i'm still listening to it now. By the way check out Sundirtwater by the waifs too Amazing... | Reviewer: Lyla ------ About the song London Still performed by The Waifs Such a beautiful song! Makes me think of the time I was stuck in London sans passport(lost it). I missed home when I was there but now I miss that city and the amazing people I met there... bridal ship from Egypt to Australia | Reviewer: Mariette ------ About the song Bridal Train performed by The Waifs This song is so powerful, my Mum came to Australia from Egypt as a war bride leaving behind family and friends to come to a strange country. A very similar journey experienced by the young women who left Australia. How brave they all are. Thank you for acknowledging their courage. I saw you perform on Denton and I wept with joy - thank you so much. eerie airport music | Reviewer: Yoko ------ About the song London Still performed by The Waifs I burnt this song onto a CD for my flatmate before she moved to London 2 years ago. We'd lived together for 3 years and she became a big sister to me. She told me soon after she arrived in London that this song was playing in the airport as she waited for her flight to leave Australia and that the irony made her laugh and cry at the same time.
