Chit n Chat: Encouraging One Another Podcast

Hello & welcome to Chit & Chat; encouraging one another podcast. In this episode we have line up for a very fun interview with an Australian duo called, "The Long & Short of It."
The Long and Short Of It are David Baird and Patsy Toop OAM, who first met in 2007 and already have an impressive resume to boot that includes six album releases, two EPs, and have earnt themselves a slew of awards including a Tamworth Songwriters Award (2011), a Tasmanian Independent Country Music Award for Most Popular Duo (2016), three-time winner of an Indie Country Music Australia (ICMA) Award for Most Popular Independent Country Duo (2017, 2019 & 2021), a Southern Star Awards Award for Best Duo or Band (2016) and a two-time winner of a Gold Media Medallion Award for Best Duo Nationally (2015 & 2018) – to name a few.
The pair’s sumptuous harmonies have been described as "honey-coated chocolate".  David and Patsy continue to uphold their commitment to penning songs that are relatable, inspirational and are storytelling.  Since their first release in 2009, the pair have continued to grow musically with every release. I am sharing their songs "How Big is It."Other songs we are lined up are:

Stuart Bedford; They Can't Put Me Back Together, you can find him on Facebook.
