WOOD YOU LIKE CHIPS WITH THAT ?


 When we found the then unpublished version of 'Under The Southern Cross' languishing in the PBGB archives ............  see the story by scrolling down to the blog post dated February 17, 2017...............we wondered what other unpublished songs might be  gathering dust down there in the archives.

Neil thought he'd have a look, crawled in, and before long stuck his head up with THIS.

'Wood You Like Chips With That ?'  is a song we wrote specifically for a gig we played at the Tanja Hall way back in........way back in............somebody help me here please..............anyway, let's say 2010.  Back then, Neil, Chris Ralfs, Gus and Pete were The Shed Regulars.

Anyway we got a call from a local environment care group..............somebody help me again please.......who were putting on a fund raiser and they asked us if we would play a set.

Well we in The Shed have our hearts and minds in the right  place as far as the environment goes, so we set about putting some songs together. In fact we decided to write a song especially for the occasion.

The woodchip industry is very much an 'in your face' local environmental issue around these here parts, what with the Eden Woodchip Mill being just down the road, the recent scalping of the forests at the top of Brown Mountain, and the constant stream of logging trucks that rumble through Pambula Village. Three of our favourite things really...........not !

So we wrote this little ditty, and with a  nod to Macca's, called it  'Wood You Like Chips With That ? '

Neil wrote the music, sang it, played guitar and organ and produced the final product
Gus played guitar
Chris played bass
Pete wrote the lyrics, and played the drums. 


We hope you like it.......................the Eco-Warriors did. Best as we remember anyway.
