I had the pleasure a few months ago of working on an Angels tour. I was the sound engineer for Black Label who were the support. It’s a bit of a spin out to be working on the same show as The Angels who I first saw in 1978!  They were brilliant. The tempos were [...]

I had the distinct pleasure of doing sound for Wa Wa Nee on a short Sydney run of about 4 weeks way back in 1989. They were absolutely brilliant live and just dripped “groove”. At that stage they were probably past their peak popularity but still drew massive live crowds that were genuine fans. Mostly [...]

I still remember seeing Flowers at the Stardust Hotel in Cabramatta around 1979. They were brilliant yet their best was still to come. Flowers became Icehouse in 1981 to avoid problems with a Scottish band by the name of The Flowers. The project that became Icehouse was driven essentially by Iva Davies who remains the [...]
