A Community to talk about Music from the Australian perspective.

Telling stories of Australia through music.

With few exceptions, Australian acts are permitted to have one hit in the US charts, then fall out of the international limelight.

Those acts however often have lots of other cool songs!

There are also several Australian acts that just aren't famous globally.

People often ask him if children are different to perform for in 2025 than they were when he started, he says. (I discretely cross this question off my pad.)

“And the answer is, not really,” he says. “The only real difference I’ve noticed is a subtle sense of surprise that I’m not on a screen. I’m not on an iPad or their phone – I’m actually there. And that’s a revelation.”

I hope thats more projection of his part than a reality. I'd feel kind of sad if it isn't.
