1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: What I love about the Fringe Festival is the sheer

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: diversity of stuff that you get, whether it's magicians or

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: singers or in this case, a musical history walking tour

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: of Perth. Money Boucher is the lady behind it, and

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: she's here to tell us all about it.

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: Good morning when they have morning. So a musical history

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: tour of Perth.

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 3: Tell us a little bit about it. It's a big thing,

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: isn't it. I've gone eighteen thirties all the way up.

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, what a.

12
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 4: Mad woman to do that, But I've learnt so much.

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 4: So it's a whole variety of different styles and genres

14
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 4: and venues. I want to celebrate the beautiful venues of

15
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 4: the past, the songs the artists of yesteryear. Yeah, and

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 4: we've got two tour guides, alternating dates and they're going

17
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 4: to sing songs from that period of time as well, actually.

18
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 5: Singing as you were yeh, because when I heard we

19
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 5: were talking to you, I thought it said magical mystery tour.

20
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 5: So there's a bit of mystery.

21
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of hidden secrets and scandals and yes,

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 4: I know.

23
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: Old go to ballroom and stuff like that.

24
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: And that's the time of our farans met at a dance,

25
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, the old Pagoda ball room, and that's what

26
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: they say.

27
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: I actually launched this tour as a bus tour in

28
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, and people would come off and say, that's

29
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 4: the venue I met your dad, or that's the menu

30
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 4: I met this artist, and that the memories of the

31
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 4: things I love the most and the stories, that's when

32
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 4: it comes alive.

33
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: We've had some pretty amazing nightclubs in the city over

34
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: the years. Obviously, I remember the mostly from the eighties,

35
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: and I needed a walking tour of the underground every

36
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: time I was in it just to find my way out. Again,

37
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: does that come up in I mean, obviously it's not

38
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: there anymore.

39
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 4: But it got the cut, Yeah, because there were so

40
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 4: many awesome venues. Most it was about one hundred pages,

41
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 4: and I gave it to the tour guys. They're like, oh, no, on,

42
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 4: that's not happening. So we had to go down down,

43
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: down cut it, cut.

44
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: It, cuting.

45
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: What about the red parrots?

46
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: Oh?

47
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely, did you?

48
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 4: Oh? Yes, every time I read about it, I.

49
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: Think, yeah, it sounds like me.

50
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 4: The whole idea of having ten red parents in a

51
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 4: cage and they wanted the owners wanted to bring a

52
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 4: horse and an elephant on opening night on stage.

53
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: Yes, why not? And they said, no, I can do

54
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: it either children animals.

55
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: I saw Joy Division at the Red Parrot and he

56
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: performed the whole concert with his back to.

57
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 5: Us, and we loved everything.

58
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 4: Curtis and I even loved the comments of if you

59
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 4: even if you didn't get in and you were outside,

60
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 4: you were still cool.

61
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 5: You've seen people and people are seeing you. That's the

62
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 5: cool thing about clubbing, wasn't it.

63
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 4: And of course all the big people went there because

64
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 4: the entertainment center. Everyone's got this fondness. And after the

65
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 4: big artist would either go to the Red parrotal Gobbles.

66
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: On either side of the track.

67
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, because you didn't have metros over the road

68
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 5: yet anything.

69
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean, boy was going to Red Parrot. Keanu

70
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 4: Reeves went to Gobbles and got.

71
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: On stage.

72
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 5: With his band dog Star or what I still was.

73
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: Gobble still going when?

74
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: Because I think of Gobbles as sort of like and Pinocchio's,

75
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, way before the Red Parrot ins on.

76
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: And that's the funny thing.

77
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: When you're asking people memories, you're trying to remember and

78
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: people are saying different things, so you're like, which bit's correct?

79
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

80
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 4: And that period of time, say from fifties to late eighties,

81
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 4: you don't really get it on the internet. So I

82
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 4: was in a lot of Facebook groups and once you

83
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: put a question in all these wonderful memories and stories

84
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 4: that come from that.

85
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Remember when the gig guide used to be on the

86
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: in the Friday Express or whatever it was. Yeah, it

87
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: might have been the Daily News and they were because

88
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: we had all those great live local bands at Sunday

89
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: session places.

90
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: Does any of that make it into the Walking Tour?

91
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: Well, we talked generally about how live the scene was. Yeah,

92
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: that's seven days a week.

93
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: There was live music. Yes, that bands were doing three

94
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: gigs a night, like that's just wild. We don't talk

95
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: about the.

96
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: Big beer barns because that would be a two week tour.

97
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 5: Yeah it would be.

98
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 3: But everyone talks about the Herdsman and.

99
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: All those amazing dick and the Dames of the Herd

100
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: Probably didn't make the cut, but one of my other

101
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: favorite places was Mcano's Bar above the Old Melbourne Yes.

102
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: Oh yes, do you guys remember that?

103
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 5: Play I went to the beat Room which is the

104
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 5: band room underneath it.

105
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 4: Well, I remember going to the firm and I was

106
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: a little country girl coming from Narrogen. Yeah, and I

107
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 4: was so scared of the skinheads and all the.

108
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 3: Music, and I remember so petrified. Yeah, that's funny. Beautiful

109
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: big bands played there.

110
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 5: Yes, so some of the things unremarkable, you know, like

111
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 5: Dave Warner had too many chips at fast Eddies and

112
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 5: vomited on the quarner of Milligan. You know, like after

113
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 5: a dig at the beat Room.

114
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 3: I didn't hear that one happened.

115
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 4: It's funny actually, because I do other tours, Gintos Wine

116
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 4: to his Whiskey tours, all those things.

117
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 3: Yesterday I was.

118
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 4: On tour and like every on the build up to

119
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 4: writing this this show, I've been asking people where did

120
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: you go? And one of the guys was saying, I

121
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 4: heard that Row Tattoo had riot police go to the Melbourne,

122
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 4: the Old Melbourne because it went wild like in that hotel.

123
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: I better do. And I love those sort of stories

124
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 3: that people are saying.

125
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a lot of those nights did end up

126
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: at fast Eddies because it was.

127
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: The only sort for our joint where you could you

128
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: could get something to eat that in the morning exactly.

129
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: So now people doing the musical history too, what do

130
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: we need to bring, what do we need to know?

131
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: Well, it's an exercise thing too, you know. Yeah it's

132
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 4: four point nine case. I know it's much bigger than

133
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: I would liked to have made it. But do you

134
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: know what these venues you can't squish them all to

135
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 4: get on spread up. I can't move them, and I

136
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 4: wanted them all. So something comfy and your water yep

137
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 4: as well. They won't be food and drink involved, so

138
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 4: bring your own snacks, have spots to rest.

139
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: But I didn't know whether to mension. It's a bit

140
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 3: of a secret. I'll put a conditions apply on it.

141
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 4: We were looking at how to have a speaker, how

142
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 4: to have a sound system, and someone mentions silent disco.

143
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 4: So that is a new dimension walking along with music

144
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: going on the trippers or the stems or something, and

145
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 4: then seeing these beautiful old buildings just created. I come

146
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 4: from performing arts, so for me, I'm just like magic.

147
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 4: So we're trialing that with friends on Tuesday. So I'm

148
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 4: hoping we can roll that out because.

149
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: Yes, fat, I mean that sums it up, doesn't it.

150
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: You know?

151
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: The Perth scene. That song is just soundtrack to you

152
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: are lives.

153
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 5: If you're talking stems, wouldn't be great If Don Marianne

154
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 5: was walking down the street at the top, I.

155
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 4: Wanted to contact it. I wanted to contact them all

156
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: and the randomly rock up at the venue I talk

157
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 4: about just.

158
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: To take over. Imagine that it's beautiful Johnny Young or something.

159
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 5: Well, experience step back.

160
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: This is presented by Hidden Tours, Hidden d D Tours.
