Speewah Australian Folk Band
Speewah Australian folk band brings together the energy of Celtic tradition and the spirit of Australia’s outback into one unforgettable live experience.

Furthermore, their energetic performances keep the night moving with toe-tapping rhythms and enthusiastic audience participation.
A Performance History Larger Than Life
Formed long ago — longer than anyone can remember — Speewah Australian folk band boasts a performance history as long as the Gun Barrel Highway.
As a result, they have entertained at concerts, bush dances, functions, celebrations, schools and pubs across the land.
Moreover, they have performed in some truly unique venues — ferries, trains, ocean liners, trucks, catamarans, campfires and of course, stages.
Drawing on the rich folk and Celtic traditions of Australia’s pioneering ancestors, Speewah delivers a truly authentic and unforgettable musical experience.
The Legend of Crooked Mick
No Speewah show is complete without a Crooked Mick story.
One of his most famous tales tells of how he formed the mighty Murray River.
Legend has it that while running across the vast Speewah station — bigger than Texas, some say — Mick had to leap over a fence.
In his haste, the fence wire caught his leg and with the force of his momentum, he pulled out fence posts for a staggering five miles.
These posts miraculously joined together and plunged into the ground, creating the very bed of the Murray River.
Stay tuned for more of Crooked Mick’s incredible tales, including the one about the fish that got away.
