POSSUMBILITIES !
The official launch of the new Country Pumpkins kids’ CD Pat the Possum will be at Moruya
Country Markets at 10am on Saturday, 3 Mar. The 9 songs on the album are all from the Pat
the Possum Show which is an educational program for kids around the theme of recycling.
The characters from the Show will all be at the launch: Pat the Possum, Lorikeet Sweet, Phil
the Frillin’ Frill Necked Lizard and Isabelle Bird.
There will be 5 CD’s given away at the launch to the first 5 people who can show that they
are friends of Pat on facebook at www.facebook.com/countrypumpkinsband and copies of
the CD will also be available to buy for $15. As well as the 9 songs on the album, all songs
are repeated without the band singing so that kids can sing along to the songs themselves,
karaoke style, and all the lyrics and chords can be found on the band website which is
www.scobie.com.au .
The Pat the Possum Show has been performed for the past 8 years from the Eden
Fishermen’s Club in the south to the Gympie Muster in Queensland including many places
in between such as the Tilba Festival, the Eurobodalla Botanic Gardens near Mogo and the
Tamworth Country Music Festival. A recent performance of the show was filmed and will be
released in the near future but for now you can see one of the songs from the show,
Spikeling Recycling, on the band’s facebook page. That song was also released as a single
nationally on Monday, 19 Feb.
The Pat the Possum Show was written by Michelle Scobie who plays bass and sings in the
Country Pumpkins and the other members of the band are her husband, Graham, on vocals,
guitar, mandolin and harmonica, Daniel Ostrosko on drums, Mary Couper on vocals, guitar
and keyboards as well as Scott James on vocals, guitars and mandolins.
Pat the Possum was recorded by Richard Cooke at Sanctuary Sound Studio at Central Tilba
and Richard also produced the Spikeling Recycling film clip on facebook.
