Grant McLennan - Rose, Shamrock And Thistle, Sydney, 10 - 6 - 91.

Its been almost 6 years now and I'm exactly the age Grant was 

when he died so suddenly. Its of course very tragic that such 

a talented man should die so young.

He is missed by so many. 

I have found this very nice recording which is Grant McLennan 

and Phil Kakulas on stand-up bass at the Rose,Shamrock And Thistle 

(3 Weeds) in Sydney on 10 June, 1991.

He was support for Dave Graney.

Turns out its a recording from Steve, a long time contributor

here at the SSS blog, so thanks Steve for recording this.

Its not so easy to find solo recordings of Grant so enjoy this

on this long weekend with a drink or two to the memory of a great man!

4ZZZ Brisbane Music Stall official launch

I went to the official launch of the 4 ZzZ Music stall last night

and caught a performance from two members of the wonderful

Mardi Lumsdem And The Rising Seas, Mardi and Andrew Pennay

doing a lovely acoustic set.

I got to buy a few of those hard to get local artist Cds , including

the Rising seas Ep.

So here's a few photos from the night and when you get a chance

get in to the West End Markets and support local music at its best.

They have different artists each week and loads of great

stuff to buy

The Blackeyed Vendors Of Paradise

Steve from Melbourne a long time contributor to the SSS blog

and sharer of much fine music has sent this rare and wonderful

recording from a 3RRR live to air of a band that has a line up

like the who's who of Australian music!

Many thanks to Steve yet again.

Now over to Steve!

A combination of Rob, Phil, Kathy and Mark from

The Blackeyed Susans and Graham and Marko from

the Paradise Vendors.

Also along are Robert and David McComb from

the Triffids who at that time were on

(eventually permanent) hiatus.

Graham and Dave were not in the 1992 incarnation

of The Blackeyed Susans.

This was a 3RRR lunch time gig and there are sound balance

problems in the first couple of songs.

Also, not the best generation tape but the songs shine through.

A Murri from the Tjapukai people in Kuranda, North Queensland,

Ed Kuepper & Mark Dawson – Rearranged Melbourne Spiegeltent March 1, 2012

Steve from way down south in Melbourne has sent me

his very own recording of Ed and Mark from the 1st

of March in the wonderful Spiegeltent.

It sounds like the same thing that happened here in

Brissy happened in the Spiegeltent in Melbourne,

in that the tent was doing two shows a night and

the tent needed to be vacated for the next show

so no encore. Also Steve tells me he missed the

begining of Swing.

Advance copies of Ed and Marks new album

Second Winter have gone out and let me say,

as Molly would say, do yourself a favour and

get a copy. Its rather special!

Order it here

Many thanks to Steve!!
