Mucky Duck Bush Band, often called Mucky Duck, was a Western Australian Australian folk and country music band or bush band active between the 1970s and early 2000s in Perth and Western Australia.[1] The band was founded by Stan Hastings, who ran the folk club The Stables in Northbridge, and his son Greg Hastings. They turned professional in 1974, touring around Western Australia.
In 1982 they performed a musical Moondyne Joe (about the bushranger of that name) at the Regal Theatre in Subiaco.[2][3]
The group had a changing lineup over the years and in 2003 it was revealed that English writers had claimed their lineup had included Lord Lucan.[4]
