Met one of my guitar heroes Mr Tommy Emmanuel CGP in London yesterday... Had a cool chat with him, he was gracious enough to offer me some advice and was very complimentary on the look of my cd. It is my dream to one day be a CGP like Tommy, so hope he likes it!
This is great video about what is currently happening to the Kimberley in northern in Australia, a vast expanse of untouched land - full of nature in it's most purest form. This video highlights the great work that Sea Shepherd and others are doing to try and prevent the destruction of the environment by the Australian government and corporations who plan to mine the area for gas.
So I saw this video for the first time in my life last week, and it's incredible. It's one of those bands / musicians where you cannot believe you hadn't heard of them before. But needless to say, I am glad the John Butler Trio are in my life now. I've listened to nothing else all week, bought all their albums, watched entire gigs online, the works. If you read my twitter feed you might already have seen me write about this but fuck it, this is too good not to share. So without further ado...
*and before you say anything "I knew about him in 2004 etc" I am well aware I am about 10 years late on this post...
I know I am about 5 years late on this, but this is an absolute brilliant idea, and a fantastic show. Highly recommended. Makes me want to listen to some Hall and Oates...
