David Prior talks to Brad Butcher a master songwriter and an incredible talent.and has released a single for charity with the master Graeme Connors
Having both spent a large part of our lives in Mackay Queensland, Brad and I had often talked about co-writing. However, for a variety of reasons, the right opportunity just didn’t occur.
Then along came the 2017 Flagon and Dragon fund raising appeal… for 25 years I have been the ‘musical ambassador’ for a group of incredibly generous people from Mackay who hold riotous luncheons every two years raising funds for a variety of Children’s Hospital needs. To date, just under $2,000,000 has been donated hospitals and various other organisations dedicated to assisting children in a myriad of ways.
Brad generously offered to be part of the afternoon’s mayhem and I thought what better way to do what we do and contribute to the cause than co-write a song with him, record it and direct the proceeds to the Flagon and Dragon Fund Inc.
'I’ve Got Your Back’ seemed to come with its own positive energy from the outset and Brad and I spent the whole time writing with smiles on our faces. Matt Fell recorded, played and directed musical traffic in his inimitable way with various musicians adding their enthusiasm along the way. Josh Schuberth, Paul Berton, Brad and I, had a really memorable day with Matt and it is captured perfectly in this track.
