'Guitars of Love' ... an instrumental band playing instrumental tunes of the '50s & '60s with an emphasis on the British take on surf twang - i.e. the 'Shadows'

This type of musical genre is known mostly by folk in their '50s, who remember the resounding tones of a Stratocaster strung with strings the thickness of fencing wire played through a VOX AC30, gently issuing from Mom & Dad's old valve car radio on the way home from the beach in the early sixties.

It's daggy, but good ...

'Cabin Fever' is a Melbourne R&B band playing some classic R&B & Rock & Roll.

Click here for music recorded at the Phillip Island Superbikes February 2011.

Apart from playing in many bands over the years, I have pursued solo recordings often alacrity. Some of it ..... is pretty good I think.

The music is recorded on the simplest possible gear. I take the Abbey Road aproach. Much of has been re-mastered from 4-track recordngs originally made on a TEAC 4 track A3440 reel to reel, and added to in some instances. Some more recently all-digital done on my M-Audio Delta 66 card.

'Clean Cut' was an Adelaide band which formed during 1976 and played around their hometown of Adelaide in South Australia during 1977-'78. The musical genre was modern R&B and rock & roll - mostly covers of alternative music of the period such as Elvis Costello, Graham Parker & Mink Deville also with a lot of Australian music such as Ross Wilson, 'Daddy Cool', 'The Dingoes' and 'Billy T'. For most of us, this was our first real taste of bandom. 'Shed For Brains' shortened to 'The Sheds', was a recording project undertaken by Paul Gadsby, Kelvin Fleming (me) and Tony Thornton in about 2004 - 2005. The idea was, to get together and record spontaneous snippets and ideas, and "turn them into something" using loops and then overdubbing. In other words, a modern recording project which none of us had done before. It didn't quite turn out like that, but turned out well...
