Who

D.D. Streetjam was a performer in the Australian folk music scene in the early 90s.

What

His musical style is celtic. Predominantly styled after jigs and reels, but with some progressive/newage elements to the sound too (notably atmospheric spacey sounds)

The instrument was, as far as recalled, an electric (or at least, amplified) lute - or similar small stringed instrument.

When

I (nemo) bought a tape from him, busking in Canberra circa 1992. The track listing is:

  • Side A
    • Offze
    • Toppov
    • Ze Head
    • Jupiter 4 Reverse Mode
  • Side B
    • Toppov Mk II
    • Swallows Tail / Knotted Cord
    • McKinnons Lament / McKinnons Jig
    • First Offering (slightly nicked)
    • Jupiter 4 Reverse Mode

A friend also saw him at the Maleny folk festival (now Woodford Folk Festival) in 1993/94.

Why

The music is great and I'm curious to find out more, if I can. Hence, this page.

The Cassette tape is "© Vince Clark". However this is a particularly unhelpful name to google for with regards to music since it's shared with a founding member of Depeche Mode!

How

Your turn. If you think you have any information regarding this elusive performer, please drop me a line (earthnative@gmail.com) or add a comment to the discussion page here :)
