It shows that the urgency is not there.  Understandable, but the longer they wait the less interest there will be all round.

Wow on the Ray Argall thing though.  How did he manage to know to contact you?  Ws there some communication prior?   Again, it would be great to get this together but another 2 years?  2015 until there was some Oils footage from the road in the early 80’s!!!! What needs to happen to get that done, money, resources to work on it?  Just wondering how it could be expedited?

the Oils exhibition announcement is likely to be made in September and I'm not supposed to say anything about it before it's made official.  It'll take place late 2013/early 2014 in Sydney.

 

 

there's a Channel 9 telemovie in the making that the clan may be interested in.  It's called 'Underground' and it's about Julian Assange's early years in Australia as an activist/hacker.  He was an Oils fan and there are a few mentions woven into the plot.  I think he named a worm after them.   I think that goes to air around October.

 

 

The Oils website was to be up again on August 1 - but they're running late and now aiming for August 10.

 

I had a call from Ray Argall who shot Capitol Theatre.  He has some film in the can from around then. He went on the road with them.  He's thinking of putting something together from the footage he's got - but it would be a 2 year + project.   He's got a lot of footage of the guys at rehearsals, that sort of thing (shes’s talking the run of shows at the horden). It was around the period of Pete's senate run.  

 

Cheers
