REVIEWS 20/5/10

'This show was exceptional ... It was a real highlight of the National Folk Festival for me and I was so glad I saw it.' 'The program can travel to other festivals (Directors take note) and with the new place of Australian History in the National Curriculum who knows where this will lead. I’ve loved history all my life and thought I knew a lot about these people. Now I know a lot more after a memorable two sessions at The National Folk Festival. Congratulations to all concerned.' John Williams- Trad and Now (Reviewer)

..UHOAH represents a fortuitous coming-together of the trio UNSUNG (comprised of Wendy Ealey, Moira Tyers and Neil Robertson) and Bruce Watson, all respected and award-winning contributors to the Victorian acoustic music scene. Their collaboration is distinguished by innovative arrangements, powerful vocals, tight and precise harmonies and first-rate original material. While all four songwriters have contributed, the overall concept, extensive research and more than half of the original songs are Moira’s. Well-executed, refreshingly varied in style and substance, and beautifully performed, UHOAH undoubtedly deserves a much wider audience. I would urge the participants to ensure, at least, that the project be recorded. This material is well worth preserving...
