Febuary 2001 - To make up for what seemed like way too much inactivity at Library over summer we decide to try and synchronise the release of 3 CDs with a trip to Sydney... and failed miserably. But my word wasn't it lovely and stressful trying. In hindsight the trip to Sydney wasn't all that bad. Tugboat, Huon, Bart & friends and Sleepy township all played excellent sets at the Hopetoun. Special mention must be made of David Nichols playing on despite suffering from "food poisoning" and providing some of the most entertaining moments of the evening. The following Sunday afternoon Tugboat, Bart & friends and the Lucksmiths played an underneath the clothesline. Somehow in amongst all that Bart guest programmed on Osmosis at 2SER and Tugboat and Bart & friends recorded sessions there as well. Big thanks to Leigh and the Cannanes for all their help over the weekend.
The CDs came out about a week later.
