Tim McMillan

    Tim McMillan has an entirely original sense of style and arrangement in his approach to songwriting, and an ability to play an acoustic guitar quite unlike any other artist.

   Tim is quirky, to say the least, and obviously incredibly intelligent and skilled. When he fuels his energy into his guitar playing, it is truly incredible.

   Tim’s been playing his unique (and freak) brand of what he calls “acoustic, Viking metal/power folk – a fusion of ecclectic styles that includes flamenco, blues, finger style, classical and Latin Jazz – for well over a decade now, garnering much praise for his incredible chops.

   Tim introduces most songs with a quiet and intimate chat to the audience; his strange but intriguing stories often describing the inspiration for the song, or simply where he was when he wrote it.

BUCK AND DEANNE

     Paul Buckberry, a.k.a Buck, is part hoodoo man, part truck driver, part nifty  blues guitar player. He lives by busking old Carl Perkins tunes and selling CDs that he claims are hallucinogenic and more mind-liberating than sex.

      He met Deanne Dale, a.k.a. Deanne, in 2007 at a kazoo workshop at the inaugural Choir-Sluts Festival in Wombat, NSW and was instantly smitten with her glorious pipes and well-shaken egg.

      Together they began touring  Australia, playing Country, Folk & Blues festivals between Woy Woy and Wonthaggi.

      Buck & Deanne play guitars & kazoos. They sing about the facts of life & electric chairs. It's steamy blues & swinging country waltzes. Like a 57 Chevy with Tex Morton, Bob Dylan, Johnny & June, & a crackly AM  radio, their music cruises at a cool pace with no rear view mirror.

PETER HICKS

     Peter Hicks is a folk singer and singer-songwriter very much in the tradition of the likes of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.

     His songs have their roots in the everyday lives and experiences of everyday people, and in the issues of greatest concern to us all.

     He sings about the environment, about the need for world peace and the causes of war.  

     He sings about the globalisation of capital, how it concentrates more and more wealth and power in fewer and fewer hands, and how to resist it.

     And ultimately, he delivers a message of hope. His vision is of a world where people can live and work together in harmony and co-operation, not conflict. A world where the needs of the many take precedence over the greed of the few.
