about

SKEWIFF were a dynamic 6 member band, rising to prominence in the Sydney folk scene of the 1980's.
Combining a lively mix of original and traditional songs, they played bush dances, folk clubs and festivals, as well as the vibrant pub scene of the time.
Their 1985 album recording, More Songs About Sheep & Cows (RRP007) was recorded at Restless Music, Balmain, on 8-track analogue tape, and mixed to 1/4" Ampex 456 Master tape. It was released on cassette only.
A single, Rum Rebellion/Hey Sandy (RRP006), was released, and the band also featured on the LP, Under Southern Skies (RRP004), which was a compilation of Bankstown Folk artists.
This 30th Anniversary Restless Music Archival Re-issue (RM007) includes 3 bonus tracks in addition to the original 1985 album.
