Harry Brus [bass] and Mick Skelton [Drums] had a ball in the "vibrating house". Its been pretty quiet up here on the mountain until they arrived …we put down 20 back tracks in 3 days of the older material of mine especially all the songs that people still ask for...eg. The Place [an old La-De Da's song I wrote ] and Celebration, Fishin etc. I'll be finishing them off over the next months. Luke Everingham's Party was fantastic. He asked me if I could get in touch with my old guitar sparing partner Joe Walsh to see if he would come out and play it. I said I'd do what Joes song says…."Leave a message ,maybe he'll call" So I did. Time passed and I thought maybe he's too busy with the Eagles tour n all. Then one after noon the phone rings and its……"Hey …kev…great ta hear your voice….I can do that party you asked me about." So there ya go , in true Joe style he zipped out for a few days to do a party on a farm, then to NZ, for his work with mokai whanau ora, a community action group on youth & drugs organization, then back to the Eagles tour ala extravaganza. Don't you just love him. Definitely not your average Joe…. superstar. I guess it will go down in special gig folk law history. After over 24 hours on planes [from London] and many hours on the road, Joe gave us all a thrill and an insight into the wonderful world of Joe, playing a fantastic set with all the fire and passion that only a unique talent such as his can produce. This was truly a very special occasion, and those of the 600 that were there to witness it will be talking about for years. Songs were, Walk Away/ Funk 49#/ Turn To Stone/ Life's Been Good/ Rocky Mountain Way/Life In The Fast Lane. Then he got Luke and his kids up to play a couple, then Mal Eastick and John up, and we jammed on for another 30 minutes. THANKS JOE!!! Fortunately justice was done in the NSW Industrial Court a few weeks back and Stevie Wright, Lonnie Lee, Warren Morgan and myself feel great about the outcome, setting a precedent, so promoters will think twice about treating artist musicians as throw away items. Hope all is well in your world. Cheers kev November gigs Friday 12 - Woronora RSL 8:30pm Sunday 14 - Bayview Tavern Gladesville 3pm |

   " & Kevin Borich is still every inch the slashing, stylish axeman who has come to take you higher. Without a hint of parody, he struts the stage at major festivals in lace shirt, snakeskin pants and cocky stance, gleefully unleashing the credible, fluid licks that have accorded him the status of a legend. Borich, the iconic rock/blues guitarist who livened up the national Long Way To The Top tour with fiery renditions of his 1971 hit Gonna See My Baby Tonight, has a theory that music "keeps you young "..... exerpt from article written by Glenn A. Baker in The Heralds Sydney Magazine July 2004 more in MEDIA |

There are few events
where the elements of world-class blues, nature's splendor and intimate
staging merge to form a perfect live blues experience. For blues fans

March 9 and 10, 2001 the Australian music industry gathered at Fox studios
Sydney for a concert to honour Ted Mulry. On September 1, 2001, just one
day before his 50th birthday, he died of cancer. Now the concert that was in fact Ted's farewell party, is to be released on DVD. Gimme Ted features the cream of Australian rock both past and present gathering to pay tribute to their mate. All royalties from the musicians featured on the DVD will be donated to Support Act, a benevolent fund for providing assistance and relief to members of the Australian music industry suffering hardship or distress. thanks to Garry Brokenshire and Paul Cashmere |

We
have have now done plenty of private shows and it seems to be a trend
that has grown out of a frustrating live venue shortage. I have been writing, sifting and fishing for
new "stuff". My son Lucius has been up and produced a couple of tracks
and will continue when he's off the road with his band - COG . |

| Sundays at the Palms Hotel turned into such a great gig,we just had to record it. I hadn't been playing the old National on stage up until
then,and this place on a Sunday proved to be the right atmosphere
to whip it out and play some blues. The material is a mix of old blues tracks
I've always wanted to do, a few of my old originals re-energised and
some new ones, all they as they happened on the night. |
