The Singers
|
|
|||||
Lori Mattheson, Ana Kingy and Clare Nabke:
Collectively known as the Magharitas. The girls with the sweetest harmonies. I played on percussion on their CD, so it was only natural that they sing on mine.
|
|
|||||
Sandy Chick:
Another friend of mine since the 80’s. This girl has sung backing vocals for the who’s who of Aussie music for the last 20 years. It’s a pleasure to hear her on mine.
|
||||||
Suzy Connolly: The fabulous singer from Butterfly 9. You must buy their CD… mad if you don’t. Go to Butterfly 9's web site
|
|
|||||
Lisa Maxwell:
I’ve only known Lisa a short time. She said she’d never done a session singing the way she does on “Fat Time” but she did a great job.
|
||||||
Rick Price: Rick and I go way back. We were a rhythm section in a funk band in 1981. What can I say about his voice that hasn’t already been said. Read more about Rick Price |

The Guitar Players |
|
|||||
Rex Goh: We’ve been mates since QED days in 1984. One of the best in the country. The solo in “Old Paint is Peeling” was 1st take. |
||||||
Mark Punch: Also one of the best. We do a lot of duo and trio work together.
|
||||||
Brad Johns: I’ve known Brad since he was 15. We’ve shared many stages since. I love him like a brother.
|
||||||
Stuart French: The best country picker in Australia…but he is much more than that. My good friend from the Feral Swing Katz. Click to go to the Feral's website. |
|
|||||
Jamie Wilson: Now based in Kuala Lumpur. He put me up at his place in KL a while back. I was lucky to get him on the album.
|
||||||
Matt Hanley:
Another one of the greats. Normally an R and B player but here on “Sister Music” we borrowed a natural steel guitar from Rex Goh. Matt played a great bottleneck part for me.
|
||||||
Kevin Bennet :
Mostly known for his fantastic voice but I’ve been a fan of his guitar playing since before I joined him in ‘The Flood’. The Flood website. |
|
|||||
Dan Johnson:
My good friend who is a wonderful finger pick style player… we work together a lot.
|
|
|||||
Bernie Segedin:
One of the best all round acoustic players in Sydney. I played drums and percussion on his CD, he played acoustic on mine.
|
|
|||||
Andrew Gray: Andy and I were in my first professional band together. He is a master of the Celtic realm. His cittern added that bit of magic to “Sailor and Rider”. |
||||||
Bass Players
|
||||||
James Gillard:
Jim and I travelled and played together for years, from the Flood to Troy. Love his playing.
|
||||||
Greg Royal: Brad Johns introduced me to Greg some time ago. We became mates but have only played selected gigs together. I knew he played upright so I got him in to play on a couple of tracks.
|
||||||
Ben Cripps: We toured together for Graeme Connors. In that show Ben played an acoustic bass guitar. He was perfect for “Let’s Have a Fat Time”. |
||||||
Keyboards
|
||||||
Andrew Burns: There was only ever going to be one keyboard player on this album. He is one of my closest friends. I loved his playing since QED.
|
||||||
Garry Steel: There ain’t many brilliant accordion players in this country, he is an exception. We go back to the Digger Rivel and John Williamson days.
|
||||||
Pedal Steel |
|
|||||
Michel Rose: Simply the best in Australia. We go back a long way from country bands and then all the way up to the Ferals. Click to go to the Feral's website.
|
||||||
Tabla |
||||||
Zia Islam: Zia plays in Andy Gray’s band Yellow Monday. He is from Banglesdesh. When I said I wanted a Tabla he immediately came to mind. |
