As Australians, we get very accustomed to flying over vast oceans to get to…well, just about anywhere. And every long haul flight is made 1000 times better with some noise cancelling headphones and a great playlist to fill the hours between movies, food and chats with random strangers. Here is one for the next time you find yourself flying, or doing anything that requires a playlist to kick back with.

This week’s Sunday Session is the recording of our show at Stage 88 in Canberra. As a bonus we have uploaded the video of Two Shoes and The Chariot from this show to YouTube – watch the full clip for Two Shoes here: https://youtu.be/5zs3eNw9sOE
In 2006 we undertook a big Australian tour of outdoor stages. It was a huge undertaking, the biggest tour we had done at the time under our own steam. Stage 88 in Canberra was uniquely special because it was a great stage nestled in a garden, on a hot Sunday afternoon.
There are only a few months in the year with 5 Sundays – and July is one of them. So today we are sharing a BONUS Sunday Session exclusive to everyone on our mailing list. Todays special Bonus material can be by signing up to our newsletter by Sunday August 6th.

Right now it’s about 6 degrees celcius in Melbourne, so we are longing for summer and long hot days. This months playlist is a mash-up of songs we might play at a Summer Picnic if the warm weather graced us. Those of you in the Northern Hemisphere can tell us if it works, and for all us in the Southern part f the globe, we can but dream…

Julys Backstage Pass shares a special moment in our career – the milestone 1000th show, at Federation Square in our hometown of Melbourne. We also take you to Cuba, for the making of Two Shoes.
This month in our Live Series we are sharing a recording from 10 years ago at Woodford Folk Festival in Queensland, Australia. There are songs in this set that we have rarely performed live; like Voodoo Cowboy and Radio Song. We have had a career-long love of this festival where we’ve experienced everything from sun stroke to mud slides and everything in between. This one was a cracking show. Hope you like it…
