Vic writes songs about urban landscapes, loves the sound of acoustic instruments and is heavily influenced by songwriters such as Shane MacGowan, Joni Mitchell and Rickie-Lee Jones, as well as her many Sydney song-writing friends, Melanie Horsnell, Brian Campeau, Josh Overett, Wons Phreely, Wesley Carr and James Henry.

Vic has been performing since her first appearing at the Maleny Folk Festival (pre-Woodford) where she performed alongside and supporting folk legend Kev Carmody. She performed at Maleny till it moved down to Woodford and become a big overblown rock festival and she moved on down to NSW to focus on her play writing and producing/directing skills running her theatre company "Fabulous Moon Productions" in Lismore.
Then she moved to Sydney town, her songwriting bug came back with a vengence. Since her arrival 5 years ago, she has clocked up a massive 78 songs, done about 500 gigs and has played to 1000s of Sydneysiders. With such a large number of songs to choose from - it became harder and harder to decide which ones to record... so on Friday 7th December 2007, Brian Campeau offered to record her live in front an audience. The audience consisted of friends -all singer songwriters who also contributed to the recording, joining in on various instruments and doing covers of her songs. This double live album is in production now and will be released sometime before Easter 2008. Stay tuned... The tracks here on Unearthed are studio demos produced by Brian Campeau.

If you are not moved by the passion and desperation that pour out of Vic Farrell in this song then you must be sleepwalking through life.




Can't Help Myself
rating:  5/5
A hauntingly beautiful lyric that speaks to the vulnerability of the writer. It is sung in a hushed dreamlike tone as though she is not certain she ...
