| Way Out West Roots Music Club started out on a wing and a prayer in Dec of 2001.
A group of Roots music fans whose regular watering hole was the Williamstown RSL pooled together $50 each to put on a gig featuring the Hornets. With the blessing of the RSL management we put the word around Town that blues music was coming to the West. Up until that time we had to travel on the road over the river to catch quality live music.
It was a gamble but it worked and gave us the confidence to build on that days success. Here we are six years later an Incorporated Club hosting the best roots musicians in the land and also getting calls from overseas touring artists who want to come Way Out West. As the great Paul Kelly song goes ‘From Little Things Big Things Grow’.
We now find ourselves an integral part of the Roots music scene. We are so proud to have been able to create a much needed venue in the West. If you have not been to the Club then please come down and check us out, we guarantee to make your day a good one.
Dogtown
Between the bank and the higher ground extended, from Cole St to the point, a low lying level of noisome swamp-land, almost always covered with stagnant water, further back from the foreshore the black sand changed to stiff clayey soil, whereon grew and struggled stunted copses of sheoak, blackwood, and the native cherry. As before mentioned, the whole dismal environs were haunted continuosly by voracious packs of wild dogs and dingoes, whose melancholy howling made night hideous.
