Japanese funk lords Osaka Monaurail at the Night Cat were effing sensational last Thursday. Featuring a couple of ex James Brown players. Even better my son played keys & went on tour with them.

That’s pretty cool.

Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

Fair enough. Has your son played in many bands?

His main band is Melbourne based soul band Fulton Street. He sometimes plays in off shoot bands like Dive Team 5 or plays in backing bands for rising local singers. He's done a few musicals in the pitt. But he doesn't really chase it. He plays when it falls into his lap. He's a busy boy studying law and working in the family business as well as supporting & backing his girlfriend who will soon burst onto the musical theatre scene with a lead role in a major show soon to be announced. I wish I had some of this talent!

A couple of weeks ago i got to see the Guru's at the Bowl. Hadn't seen them for about 10 years and never outdoors.
Well they are still at the top of their game. And they're still fun.

Dave Faulkner is almost 65 but his voice is still powerful and pure. Brad Shepherd can still play cool licks. And the overall sound was very good which surprised me.

Saw Creed Bratton at the corner Sunday night. You might know him from The Office (US).

The guy is nearly 80 but looks and sounds like someone 20 years younger. Such an entertainer and plenty of humourous anecdotes.

And i was the oldest person there by about 30 years.

Seen the Oils at The Palais a couple weeks back, they have always been great live.
Brilliant and only getting better with age.

What's Garrett like on stage now? He was always so energetic.

I remember seeing them outdoors on a stage near the Yarra in about '84. Some bloke up the front was continually giving someone grief. Garrett stopped mid song and told him to cut it out or leave.

He's got a point. If he can't scuba then what's it all been about? What's he been working toward?

When he convinced Michael to keep him on in the early days was gold.

My Mate and myself thought he was going to have a heart attack early in the night, however he slowed down a smidge and pulled through.
Little slower, however still full of energy still and has not lost his voice or stage presence.
