I bought this "The Pioneers Album" when I was a 16 year old from a record bar in the sunny town of Bunderberg, I'm 53 now and I still love it. and all the other marvellous poems put to music on it.
Wallace and Matilda have managed to capture the passion of AB like nothing before or since. I know they have spent 30 years or so teaching kids the stories of AB and the country is better for it. To remember a poem, all I have to do is conjure up the rhythm of the boys and away I go.
Thanks, Wallis and Matilda. You are broadening my education by a long country mile. Never heard of you last week, though I've long been a fan of Banjo Paterson. Now I can't get enough of you! "Go raibh maith agaibha chairde" which is Irish for "good on yer, mates!"
I live in a town called Ironbank, near Adelaide... One of the most common comments I get about it (aside from "where on earth's Ironbank??") is "Isn't that where that man's from in that poem?" Ah, that would be a no. The man's from IronbaRk. I am from IronbaNk. I don't particularly want to be remembered by an unkempt ruffian... ... However, as all of Banjo Patterson's works, very good. Not my favourite, but that's probably just because I'm from Ironbank.
Ripper song, I used to have a book as a kid with all these poems & The man from Ironbark was my faviorite, great stuff thanks for uploading this, cheers.
I love the poem and this song for it .. However, 'his dexter eyelid' is the right eye NOT the left or sinister side indicated by the barber in this clip.
I'll respectfully disagree, this is brilliant. Upbeat, as close to hard rock as an AB Paterson song ever got. This is fun, and makes the whole thing even funnier. Terrible acting - just what the doctor ordered. I reckon Banjo would love it!
I love Australia, the humour, the mateship and the piss taking.. this song explains Australians to a tee.. ❤️

I remember my mum playing this song over and over when it came out!

i love this whole pioneer album!
Great stuff, if my barber tried to cut my throat I'd never go to him again. I'd go somewhere else.
Thank you, terrific. Looks like one of the gilded youths could be Tom Burlinson...
One of the most underrated bands in Australia & have been for 20 years...

He’s talking about a man from the box ironbark forests of Victoria
Shame about that.
The man from Ironbark was a legend. 😊

Bloody good you blokes,love your stuff.

I love the poem and I haven't heard it sung or recited better........
Ironbark is now an integrated suburb of Ipswich in Queensland
The town of Ironbark referred to in the Banjo Patterson poem now goes by the name of Stuart Town in the Dubbo area of New South Wales
Right Now My school is changing this poem into a narrative! So this looks pretty cool.
That cheered me up no end.
thanks guys
bloody great!! got this album on vinyl love it!
this really helps with my English assignment thank you
Love it....
Still good!.
Too many of today's teenage boys are "gilded youths"
This rocks. Can you upload some of your other clips.
u are the best
One of Banjo's best.
this makes me scared to go to a BARBER
You forgot to shave his beard off!
I don't know
We have to do school work on this and I hate you for it.
I've always loved the poem but this is way too fast.
nnb
Soooooo wired
This video has such bad quality
Well what else would you expect.
This all happened in the 19th century.
The technology wasn’t so good then. 😆😆
What an abysmal aberration of Banjo's great poem. I thought what you did to Clancy of the Overflow was bad enough, but this is truly dreadful.
Slim dusty does better fair bloody dinkum

Harsh criticism
