Description
Mother Goose originated from Dunedin in November 1975. They were six rock musicians who wanted to play rock music. But they didn't want to be part of the regular 70's style rock bands that were around at the time. So to be different they decked themselves in hideous costumes, labelled themselves with the dumbest name they could think of and started playing in pubs, where they became hugely popular. Early in 1976 the group toured Auckland and burst on to the scene there with a strong theatrical show, taking bizarre appearances to absurd lengths.
After a successful concert at Albert Park, the group decided in October 1976 to head across to Australia. They arrived in Sydney and began working for the Dayman Organisation. They were spotted by Garry Spry, who was so impressed by their act that he took over their personal management and moved them down to Melbourne.
Their approach to rock was unusual to say the least, with their performances involving mime, satire, novelty songs and some very clever playing and vocalising. In fact they would never cease to amaze fans with the way they could move about so much on stage and yet retain such a high standard of musicianship. Even their appearance was bizarre with each member portraying a different character, a sailor, a pixie, a mouse, a baby, a ballerina and a bumble-bee.
