Launch of Butcher Bird film clip

This is the launch of Butcher Bird - the film clip made in Spaghetti Western style to a song about the legendary vicious grey butcherbird of Cooks Hill, Newcastle. The one in NSW, Australia.

Many thanks to Felipe Coelho who risked life and face for the amazing attack footage.

See credits for further detail and statistics.

The video will be shown and there will be a short talk about the bird and the making of the video. This will be a short event as trivia starts at 7pm.

Free entry of course.

Nerds and McMahon Bros

Nerds & Music will be performing at our favourite venue, the Royal Exchange, with McMahon Bros supporting.

 And the Nerds will do their usual schtick. With at least one new song.  Enough said.

We’ll be playing in the courtyard (as long as it doesn’t look as if it could possibly rain). Yes it’s free!
