HISTORY OF RESTLESS MUSIC
Restless Music is one of the longest running "little labels" in Australia.

PENNY DAVIES & ROGER ILOTT established the Australian Folk Music label Restless Music in Balmain , New South Wales , in 1982. Penny & Roger first got together in 1976 when Roger was playing with folk/country rock band, Rusty Dusty Bros.

Prior to that both Penny & Roger had performed in the early 1970's Sydney folk scene – Roger with Southern Road Band and Penny with Oak Road String Band.

During that time Roger also performed with many other artists including Al Head, Paul Pulati, Teri Welles, Meadowband, Dave McDougall, Pauline Lovett, and Blue Mountain String Band, as well as doing session work on ABC children's programmes, several of which featured folk music.

While Penny studied photography and audio engineering, Roger continued with session work and some live performances. They decided to start their own music label after Roger had finished sessions on albums by Mike & Michelle Jackson and John Summers for the Larrikin label. Shortly after, Penny completed a B.A (Communications), majoring in creative writing and film-making.

From 1983-1987 Penny & Roger's Restless Music studio was the centre of the Sydney folk recording scene, producing and releasing 20 albums on the Restless Music label, as well as albums and documentaries for other small labels. The couple also produced and presented weekly folk programmes on Sydney community radio – Radio Broadside and Timeless Fusions on 2SER-FM, and a fortnightly show, Bush Baroque on 2MBS-FM.

Since 1987, after relocating to Storm King in the Granite Belt region of south-east Queensland , Penny & Roger have continued to produce and record Australian folk music, bush poetry, oral history and audio documentaries and podcasts, recording and releasing over 200 albums.

Since 1993 Penny has been teaching Music to the Under 5's using the Kodaly Method, which is based around Folk Song. She also ran a community choir for ten years.

“Two of Australia 's great folk artists.” (National ABC radio presenter David Mulhallen).

PENNY DAVIES & ROGER ILOTT “occupy a unique place in Australian music spanning the great divide between Folk and Country” (Trad & Now). Best known for their career-defining songs such as Hey Rain!, and Where the Cane Fires Burn, the highly-acclaimed couple have been together 48 years, and in that time have released 25 albums of exceptionally high quality Australian contemporary folk music. “Carefully crafted lyrics, narrative impetus, and beautiful close harmonies are strong features of their overall sound.” (Folk Rag).

Penny & Roger have been featured artists at numerous Festivals, folk clubs and community and charity events in Australia , as well as concert appearances in the U.K and the U.S.A.
They also toured regularly for the Queensland Arts Council from 1989 to 2003, performing at more than 100 Queensland towns.

Their recordings, Hey Rain!, Where the Cane Fires Burn, Beside a Railway Line, Ridin' on the Fruit Train, The Monkeys Sing Soprano (Around Stanthorpe in July) and Nightfire, have all featured on the ABC's bestselling Australia All Over series of albums.
They also produced and recorded several other tracks in the series: John Broomhall - Wild & Free (Songs of the Trees) and
Free as the Breeze, Bill Scott - The Boundary Rider's Tale, and Gary Shearston - She's a Classic
.

In 2009 PENNY DAVIES & ROGER ILOTT were honoured by The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International “in recognition of tangible and significant assistance given to the furtherance of better understanding and friendly relations among peoples of the world.”

Restless was started by Penny Davies & Roger Ilott back in 1983 in the backyard of a rented cottage in Balmain, NSW. After recording their first two LPs of their own work, Penny & Roger branched out and began recording compilation albums for folk performers in the Sydney area. These small runs of LPs (Workers In The Field - Volume 1 and 2, Under Southern Skies) were done as collective projects with everyone involved putting up money for the pressings and covers, and Penny & Roger doing the recording for free. They then recorded an LP Wilderness - Songs for Conservation and the Environment especially for the Wilderness Society.

JOHN BROOMHALL was an early convert to the Restless Studio - after recording his first album Broken Hill Miner elsewhere for his Tindola label, his following three albums were recorded at Restless in Balmain. The albums were Free As The Breeze (including the track Wild & Free/Song of the Trees - as heard on Australia All Over), Drifting Down The Darling and The Days When The Anzecs Were New.Some of these albums have since been reissued by the Illawarra Folk Club on CD.

PETER KEARNEY also recorded several albums at Restless for his Crossover label at the Balmain studios in the 1980's.

GARY SHEARSTON was the latest in a long line of artists spanning nearly 30 years of recording history at Restless.
Gary recorded Best Of All Trades, Renegade and The Great Australian Groove at the Restless Studio for Undercover Music.
These albums were followed by REVERENTLY, HILLS OF ASSISI and PATHWAYS OF A CELTIC LAND which were all released posthumously on the Restless label.
