Such A Lovely Day – sync. WA gigs. The Whale charts & I love this new web page.
Got some good news on the publishing front – Such a Lovely Day from the Beggars first album will be synced in the TV show Bondi Rescue. Which means the track will air as part of the show.
Most recent song appearance: The Whale on 10 April, 2012 on the Australia World Music Chartat position 90. Most popular song (by number of chart appearances): The Whale (49 total chart appearances)
We are taking our Australian Songbook show to the West for a run of gigs in May. You can see the details on our Calendar page. Which is one of the feature of this new web site and so far I am loving how it works.

Chart positions: The Whale on 7 April, 2012 on the New Zealand World Music Chart at position 88 and Kangaroo on New Zealand World Music Chart April 6 at position 18. is there some kind of an animal theme going on here?

The Whale
This one is a great story song. I think its’s based on the Moby dick story. the Whale was originally by fielder and Dyer and I believe written and released in the 1960s. A real lost treasure of Australian Music.
Way Out West
We shot video for some songs as a first project in my in house studio. this one is Way Out West originally by The Dingos. I like the way Stu works the harmonica against the 12 string guitar in the solo.
