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

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.
