Highlights from past weeks….

The fabulous band ’Funky Turtles’ visited the studio to play some tracks off of their soon to be launched second album & have a chat.

‘Off the Tracks’ paid tribute to the late, great Paddy ‘O’ Driscoll by playing music just from this  musically talented town of ours. Paddy’O’ was a local legend in the musical and pub scenes in Ballarat and sadly passed away recently.

Shane Howard, he of Goanna fame rang in for a long chat about his life, the country we live in, the Richmond footy club and his new solo album “Goanna Dreaming”.  What an amazing man he is!!

Marc Swain, song writer, guitarist and singer of Ballarat band “X’s & O’s” came into the studio and impressed all the listeners (and me) with playing his compositions live.  A very talented Ballaratite indeed!

Marcus Perry, bass player for Mathieson, a Ballarat band who recently released the fabulous album “These Are My Horses” joined “Off The Tracks” for a couple of hours to play plenty of fine music and have a chat.
