BULLRING MUSIC SPECIAL FEATURE FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP AND SENIORS' REUNION 

BARCALDINE, MAY WEEK 2011.

Roy the Boy from Yalleroi and the Bullringer, while flat out organising great artists and putting the final touches to the music and lyrics leading up to the release of the greatly anticipated and eagerly awaited CD, the "making of" DVD, the book to the CD and essential but useless merchandise and paraphernalia, still found time among their schedule to dig up some memories for the visiting reunionists.

What better place than the pages of the famous, respected and much loved Longreach Leader? (LL was kind enough to give Bullring Music a plug). So if your name is Beaumont or Mathers or Walsh or McGrath or Pellow or Innocend or Searles or Whyte or Penney or Young etc etc then you may find your name in print below.


TIP: Just in case the eyes aren't as good as they were: clicking on a page will allow you to enlarge it.  

The year is 1963...and the first clipping is about the great educator himself - Maxie Young. Not many years later Max had to deal with another snake - this one of the trouser kind and not in the wood heap but brazenly uncoiling in the classroom. Fortunately for the owner of this python the only rebuke he received was the comment "You got more hide than Jessie James ***s*!" which most considered very lenient indeed by Maxie's usual high standard in punishment administration. 


Of course Maxie features in the hilarious ballad "Radio Theatre" on the forthcoming and highly rated Bullring Music CD, when Poj Sutton gets a tap on the shoulder at interval...

Sporting Endeavours 

 The girls won the shield and although not stated outright, the boys were clearly a big disappointment. Now where are my glasses? 

And how was the golf?

Barcy cleans up, a pub changes hands, the shire clerk decides to stay..it was all happening..

Roy the Boy from Yalleroi is always very modest about the 100 points he was awarded in the Trinity College music examination, however such natural musical genius came in handy in the greatly anticipated and eagerly awaited Bullring Music CD. It allowed Roy the Boy to create the new musical genre "Western Marlafonte" as used as in the haunting, tragic but ultimately uplifting number Oh! Tambo.

It also allowed him to create "Western Rock", as used in the real life drama beautifully captured in Barcy Hospital Blues.


While not up to Roy's standard, you all did very well:

Speaking of Roy the Boy from Yalleroi, he still speaks of the day he inspired his team to a four run victory over Barcy. Is there any other connection to Roy the Boy on this page?

Lawbreakers beware:

Bees escape from the school hives and the fire brigade excels.. 

Bits and pieces...

The Bullringer and Roy the Boy from Yalleroi hope you enjoyed the clippings. If you want electronic copies (which can be enlarged even more and printed) please email Bullring Music.
