Sue Filmer joins me this week in The Engine Room to discuss her musical journey which began with Sue being a trained dancer. Sue was born in New South Wales and moved to Adelaide when she was 20 to attend the only Contemporary Dance Course on offer in Australia at the time, which was at Flinders University. Sue worked in various jobs while studying and at one stage was employed to dance at events in Adelaide, prior to joining her first band 'Click Clack' as a percussionist.

Sue has always loved music, right from her earliest memories of going to see her father who was a professional musician in NSW, performing with the Elizabethan Orchestra, Jazz with Jim Barnard, Black & White Minstrel Shows, Big Bands, Opera's and Ballets. Sue took up percussion in her 20s, she was sharing a house with musicians and wanted to be able to jam with them, so she began having lessons with Jim Bailey. Sue continued to play with various bands until taking time off to raise her 2 daughters. In 2016 after being encouraged by her husband and brother to start drumming again, Sue and her husband Danny began performing together as the Duo SUEDAN. The duo perform Blues/Roots and World Music, they also run an Open Mic once a month at the Ekhidna Winery, McLaren Vale.
