1) Neil Rogers chats to me whilst
searching 2) The double CD in all its sumptuousness |
Rock
& Roll Scars
28.11.14 - As mentioned somewhere
I had a date with Triple R's Neil Rogers last night
to help publicise the release of the Rock &
Roll Scars (plus The Jellabad Mutant
and previously unheard live tracks) double album
on Gil Matthews' Aztec Records label. A splendid
job with some warmth restored to the Abbey Rd tracks. |

1)
That's Jon Blanchfield - Ross Wilson's chatting
in the background 2) When we were one!
Torie Nimmervoll introduces us to her show
20.11.14 - Ed Nimmervoll's
daughter Torie invited me (and Maria) to attend
the opening of her show last Saturday (the 15th)
at The Arts Centre which featured some of her father's
work alongside some Daddy Cool memorabilia (pic
2) relating to their both being inducted into
the Hall of Fame at The Age Music Victoria Awards.
We were invited into the Green Room with DC and
friends by their manager Mark Sydow which was very
hospitable before being led to a corridor on the
7th floor (pic 1) where Torie allegedly
spoke about the exhibits before Ross Wilson also
reportedly spoke - we were a bit too far away to
hear a word. Luckily we were able to have a chat
with Torie after the formalities were over and catch
up with what was going on with the exhibition and
her life.
Apparently the induction went fine at the actual
awards show last night and DC was a smash all over
again. I wouldn't know though would I? as I've never
been invited to The Age Music Victoria Awards. |

gig
report
Sat. 15.11.14 Vesbar Wine Lounge Somerville
An
interesting development at the Vesbar
17.11.14 - As we left for the
Vesbar the weather turned decidedly nasty and I
imagined that might influence the attendance figures.
Well, that surmise turned out to be an underestimation
in the event, (even though there was a couple from
Norway who flew over especially for the gig), but
there was musical-type interest to be had nonetheless.
Beverly's mentioned a couple of times that she'd
like to sing the Volcano tune, Having
a Wonderful Time with me, so in the second
set she joined me for what turned out to be a sweet
version of the song. A bit later I casually played
the opening chords to Summertime and heard
a cry of recognition from the back of the room -
so we had a crack at that one together too! Maria
recorded it so check it out on Facebook.
I reckon I'll get a couple more tunes to play with
the beautiful Beverly for next time.. |

gig
report
Thurs. 6.11.14 - Spectrum at the 303 Bar Northcote
An
entertaining show - for the favoured few..
13.11.14 - OK - I'm back from
the ACT and there's a week's distance between me
and the Hammond Sessions gig at the 303 Bar. I remember
feeling quite embittered on the night at the numbers
in the room and the inconsequential door receipts
as a result and wondering what the point was. I
think I told myself that nothing changes and that
the music was fun with the added dimension of the
Hammond + Leslie. Interestingly, one of the few
people I didn't recognise in the room said rather
earnestly that our performance reminded him of a
stage show. I thought it was the inherent drama
but he might've been thinking of Hello Dolly
for all I know.. |
