Austral Blues - Montoille,
France
Director's comment: This is Fred (centre) with his friends
Maxime (left) and Stephane..together they have put a radio show dedicated
to
Australian Blues called "Austral Blues". Another great Australian
Blues &
Roots show but the twist being this show is produced and aired in Montoille
France on F.A.V. 91.3FM and all songs are taken from the BAR cds or
the
Individual Artists cds....On behalf of all our BAR Artists we wish to
say
Thankyou to Fred, Max and Stephane from France, cheers Jillian Jake

East
Coast Blues & Roots Festival "BluesFest" - Byron Bay - April
2006
We were lucky enough to meet the fabulous guys from the
Music Maker Foundation - here we have Jillian jamming with Cool John Ferguson
- these guys were awesome
- for more information about our legendary blues friends in America go
to www.musicmaker.org
On the left here we have Adolphus Bell with a couple of
Australian fans who came over to the Bay FM radio station after the Music
Makers on air interview and presented Adolphus with a miniature Australian
Boomerang - Adolphus is sure to get himself a kangaroo now! He was thrilled
and warmly touched.

I was very honoured recently to be nominated for
the Rudy Brandsma Award

a hug

thanks Doc.
