I Never Saw the Cat
(2002) CD Cover by Joel Tarling Music written and performed by Allan Broadhurst Like my cousin Stewart Walker and Clayton Simms, Allan Broadhurst and me go wayback. We were in our first high school band together and we later formed The Wilts. However, we never wrote together, largely because until 2001 Allan never wrote anything. […]
APOCALYPSE RIDER
(1999, 2000) Music: Robert Wolfgramm Words: Lowell Tarling & Robert Wolfgramm Sometime around 1996 we all stopped being Atheists, (‘I never was!’ says Robert). It followed that Robert who had returned to the Christian faith, wanted to write something new. The Apocalypse was easily agreed upon, although my original draft was gothic, suicidal and it did not […]
PERSECUTION GAMES
Music: Robert Wolfgramm Words: Lowell Tarling & Robert Wolfgramm Cover: Martin Sharp (1985) Although released in 1985, most of Persecution Games was written in 1979.

Elusive as always, Robert agreed to do so on the proviso that he was not the singer. In September 1977 I introduced Robert to one of my high school […]

I also wrote several plays for my English classes, including I Wanna Be A Teenage Idol and The Sword and The Shield. In 1974, […]
MARTIN LUTHER
Oh boy, we’re digging deep now. I had no co-writer when I wrote this play. Robert Wolfgramm and I had been successful with Threedom, after which he moved to Melbourne. Meanwhile my wife Robbie and I moved to Newcastle where I studied for a Dip Ed at the College of Advanced Education. Martin Luther was […]
THREEDOM
Words: Robert Wolfgramm & Lowell Tarling. Music: Robert Wolfgramm In 1971 I attended the same Christian college as Robert Wolfgramm. He had formed a high school band, with Paul Judd, Bill Smith and Robert Wareham and he never stopped writing music. Eventually he got around to playing me Peter’s Song, which blew me away. I […]
