Folk bush band formed in Perth in 1973 and still active today. 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 1978, touring around Western Australia. In 1982 they performed a musical Moondyne Joe (about the bushranger of that name) at the Regal Theatre in Subiaco. The group had many lineup changes over the years and in 2003 it was revealed that English writers had made the dubious claim that their lineup had included Lord Lucan. Major WA events include the ANZAC Day Breakfast at Supreme Court Gardens in Perth, the Masters Swimming Championships and WAs biggest naturalisation ceremonies. The end of 2009 found the band at Government House for the Governor of WA and in early 2010 a function for the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd during his visit to Perth. In 2013 Mucky Duck performed at the Australia Day Skyworks on Perth water.
