I believe it was sung a capella & the group had at least 4-5 members. |

Hello Dlsinclair, Thank you for your question. According to Roger Clarkes Musical Performances of Waltzing Matilda Website, it was Tina Arena who sang Waltzing Matilda at the Australian Open in 1994. The following excerpt from his webpage: Tina Arena. She sang it at the Australian Open Tennis Championships in 1994 and the Australian Football League (AFL) Grand Final in 1995 (but there don't appear to be any recordings of her singing it). Yes, that's the same Tina Arena who sang at the Opening Ceremony of the Sydney Games in September 2000. Roger Clarkes Musical Performances of Waltzing Matilda Website http://www.anu.edu.au/people/Roger.Clarke/WM/Perf.html I double checked this information in a search for Tina Arena. On the Tina Arena Website it says: This coincides with Tinas performance at the Mens Final of the Australian Open, where she performs Waltzing Matilda to a worldwide audience of 70 million people. Tina Arena Website http://tinaarenaonline.free.fr/info2.htm Search criteria: "Waltzing Matilda" "Australian Open" Tina Arena Waltzing Matilda I hope this provides you with the information you are seeking. Best regards, Bobbie7-ga | |

I received this response today from Roger (he has the very complete Waltzing Matilda Website): "I vaguely remember there was a bunch of relatively clean-cut, 'nice' young men around at the time. Unsurprisingly, they didn't last long, and I doubt if many people can remember them." When I receive more replies from my e-mail inquiry, I will post them for you. --bobbie7-ga-- |

The Pogues covered Matilda back in the 90's. |
