He wears an Akubra, a well-known Australian type of hat. Firstly, you have Peter Denahy, who plays an ‘outback Australian’ role in the clip. His character exudes the personality of a typical Australian bloke.

There are quite a number of representations found in the video clip. The film clip (and the song) are targeted at people who have quite an understanding of ‘larrikin’ humour, which pretty much narrows the target audience down to those people who have lived in Australia for a substantial amount of time (5+ years). This music video was shot in 2008, and directed by Ross Wood of 171 Entertainment, an Australian based company. I’m analysing the music video to this song, as well as the lyrics, because I feel it explores various different Australian stereotypes.

You just want it to be right, and therefore it just gets harder.' We were scared, and one of the young actresses said, 'how on earth can you three be nervous - you've been doing this for years'? We said, 'but we haven't played this part before. It was Donald and mine's first scene and it was Judi's last scene, but it was her biggest scene, and we were all waiting to come on, and we were all trembling. 'When we were making Pride and Prejudice, there was a scene -Judi Dench, Donald Sutherland and myself were all waiting to go on. I enjoy it -I still do'.īrenda says the more experienced you are, the scarier acting as a job gets. The camaraderie.not just the actors, someone had put the set together, someone was working the lights and it was all working to one end and I liked that. I was dreadful, of course, but I liked the whole ambience of the thing. I said, 'I can't do that! Don't be stupid'! They said, 'Please, we're desperate'! So, I did. 'They had an Amateur Dramatic Society, and they were entering a one-act drama competition in Manchester, and one of the actors was sick. It was while she was working for British Rail that Brenda got her first taste of drama. Mum and dad were great storytellers so watching and listening to them was great entertainment.' We played games we'd sit round this huge table in the basement and draw and make stories or build things. 'We didn't have a television - in fact we didn't know anyone with a television - and often the wireless was cut off because the bill hadn't been paid and so inevitably we made our own fun. Her autobiography is called Mixed Fancies.īrenda says her love for acting came from having to make her own fun as a kid. Now she's in the Australian film Clubland. She's been nominated for Oscars for roles in the films Little Voice and the brilliant Secrets and Lies.

The clip on YouTube is being spun around the world and has gained a momentum that has taken even Peter by surprise.īrenda Blethyn is one of the world's great actors but possibly the best she'll admit to is hard working. Most recently, Peter has shot to fame for his song 'Sort of Dunno Nothin' which typifies a monosyllabic conversation between a parent and child. Peter continued to support other country music singers like Sara Storer and Troy Cassar Daley but decided he wanted to do do it for himself so started performing his own material, on his own. Ge continued to watch and admire Slim and got the opportunity to fill in one night for the fiddler and before long, he was made a permanent member of Slim's Travelling Country Band.

At twenty-two he joined a band called the Ploughboys playing the fiddle and guitar and he did the pub rounds in Melbourne, six nights out of seven, which was a great experience but hard on the liver. Peter says the Japanese instruments and style still influence his music today. He spent his early childhood in Japan and gained an appreciation of music from his Japanese grandfather who was a conductor, composer and cello player. Peter's mother is Japanese and his father is a fourth generation Irish Australian. He attended his concerts and even managed to get a backstage audience with Slim, at the age of 17. Peter is a country bloke with Japanese heritage and as a kid was a hard-core, Slim Dusty fan.
