My guest today is the mighty Mark Williams.
A lot of you have most likely heard Mark's smash hit Show No Mercy which was pretty massive in the 90s, and he had another big hit in NZ in the 70s with Yesterday Was Just the Beginning of My Life, but there are many other facets to Mark career.
For the last 18 years, Mark has been the lead singer of Dragon, which he was asked to join in 2006.
After 50 years in the music industry, Mark has come full circle and a half and to celebrate his mighty career, he’s putting on a show on November 28th at The Bridge Hotel Rozelle called Mark Williams. - “Now and Then”

My guest today…well, this is something a bit different. The Kumpnee is a band that I have been a part of since 2011. The history of the band goes back much earlier than that. We are 5 kiwis, based in Australia that wrote and played some pretty awesome music.
The Kumpnee is Ronnie Lavender, Josh Gage, Gino Hawkins, Huia Ratapu and Stevie Taylor.

My guest today, well Joe Accaria is back!
Joe and I first sat down together for a chat in early 2019 for what became episode 32.
It was great to sit down again after 5 years and chat about what he’s been up too. The progression of the stage show Velvet, the inception of Drummer Queens. We talk about drums and drummers, electric vs acoustic and he gave me a vocal lesson.
Always good times hanging with Joe. Hope you dig it too.

To celebrate Harry's 75th birthday on Tuesday 23/4/24, here is his 2020 interview in replay.
Born in Austria, Harry and his family moved to Australia when he was 7 years old.
Inspired by Hank B Marvin and The Beatles, Harry first picked up the guitar as a teenage.
In '65 his band The Amazons scored a record deal with Festival Records and since then he has never stopped working as a professional musician.
In '67 Harry jumped at the chance to play lead guitar for pop idol Johnny Young, and later joined Tony Gaha And The In People. A fortunate encounter with sax great Geoff Oakes started Harry's lifelong love affair with soul music. During these years Harry discovered bass-giant, James Jamerson, whose legendary bass style became Harry's true inspiration on the bass. Jamerson, the great Chuck Rainey and Jerry Jemmott became the three gentlemen of bass who inspired Harry's own unique bass style.
Harry has played with a host of Australian and NZ greats. Mother Earth, Renee Geyer, Kevin Borich, Australian Crawl, Tommy and Phil Emmanuel, Barry Leef, Marcia Hines Jimmy Barnes and countless others.
A workhorse of a musician, a true Australian music legend, this has kept Harry in the game for 53 years and counting.
This one’s a cracker. So sit back back and open your ears to some of the life and times of Mr Harry Brus.
