Bushwahzee is a Melbourne institution, an enduring band of musicians, and possibly one of the very few Australiana groups working full time.
The band has seen many changes since its first gig at the Organ Factory in Clifton Hill in 1981, but the current line-up is Paul Jenkins, original Bushwahzee member, singer, dance caller and lagerphone extraordinaire player; Felix Meagher - fiddle player, song writer and composer of musicals; and Cyril Moran - Irish singer and guitarist well known around Melbourne for performing solo in Irish pubs.
Bushwahzee specialises in performing songs and dances that get their audiences involved. The band is equally happy in playing at tables in restaurants and encouraging people to sing along as it is calling bush dances for everyone to get up and have a go. Their arrangements of Australian folk song have parts especially composed so that most people can very easily join in. Typical events the band plays at are weddings, birthday parties, re-unions, work place celebrations, outdoor events, get-togethers, sports nights and in schools.
