Can't say I knew that as I've never heard of them, hey what an Australian legend is Broderick Smith, I mean with the Dingoes and stuff, Great Australian Country Rock and this band Carson with their own Australian Blues'N'Boogie, seen him live a few times now and what a singer and Harmonica player he is Legend has it he taught Jim Conway the throat vibrato on the Harmonica back in the 70s, I know that as I've had Harmonica lessons off Jim and he told me so Hey Jim Conway has been Crippled with Multiple Sclerosis and that has stopped him playing live, he did work up the strength and courage last night to do a show after a long time in retirement, couldn't make it myself but believe it went well, Jim Conway is a well respected and an Australian Blues legend and has taught so many great players and played in so many great bands including touring with Brownie McGee, Brownie loved Jim Conway!! Here's a bit of Captain Matchbox, they did my head in as a Kid when I saw them live back in the mid 70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugs Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Was playing The Hipshooters, " Live at the Bombshelter", the other day when it bought back memories of that Sunday Night at the infamous Bombshelter Bar itself located under the Story Bridge Hotel, Kangaroo Point Brisbane. A truly great venue, LOUD, and just the right size for a band playing Stevie Ray Vaughn influenced Blues. Sadly when the yuppies discovered Kangaroo Point, the high rises mushroomed over night and the noise complaints which soon followed caused the demise of loud live music at the pub. I heard about the band and the venue from the "nothin but the blues" show on 4ZZZ. Mark Fogerty hosted it from memory, must have been mid nineties. Any one else have memories of this great venue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a great venue Bugs, so many good live music venues now gone and the memories us music fans have is gold, now when a good Blues band hit these venues it was electrifying, Sydney venues that come to mind for me was The Family Hotel and the Governors Pleasure at Sydney amongst so many others, good nights and the Music, Hey here is a EP I bought after a Cyril B Bunter gig at the Governors Pleasure 1980, I posted this up on YouTube many years ago as there was nothing on this great local band, they have since re formed and playing as good as ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
