    John Blay has written extensively about the bush and its people in prose, drama and poetry. During an epic bushwalk in 1982, he discovered a new species of wattle in the Brogo wilderness.

After 2001, he has been involved in researching the Bundian Way in association with local Aboriginal communities and as the Bundian Way Project Officer for Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council. His extensive researches and bushwalks whilst investigating the important traditional route, resulted in its official recognition and NSW Heritage listing in 2012. His prize-winning sculptures have been shown in Sydney, Bermagui, Jindabyne and Delegate. A selection of his photographs was exhibited in Sydney in November 2004 and feature in an ongoing exhibition in Delegate at the Bundian Way Aboriginal Art Gallery (2012-18).

    Ep 16 Philip Moriarty - Musician, songwriter

    From his first foray as a punk clarinettist in Canberra band The Slammers, through a twenty year career co-fronting the Gadflys, to current incarnation as The Great Muldavio in Kabaret Noir outfit Mikelangelo And The Black Sea Gentlemen, Philip Moriarty's musical path, though not consciously avante guarde or anti-idolist, has certainly been unusual. More recently he has been busy (when not touring with Mikelangelo) releasing his first solo album, rehearsing with various forms of a collective known variously as The Paris Brests, The Troubles and The Hi-Fi Boots and, spasmodically, pursuing a solo career with his latest album “L'espirt De L’escalier" This conversation deals with some dark issues as well as creative pursuits.

    Ep 15 Heath Cullen - Musician, songwriter

    Heath Cullen returns with his first new album in five years, Springtime in the Heart, unveiled on April 17, 2020. The album was recorded in Los Angeles with three time Grammy winning producer Joe Henry and is the long awaited follow up to Cullen’s 2015 collaboration with Elvis Costello’s Imposters, the critically acclaimed Outsiders. The release also marks Joe Henry’s triumphant return to the producer’s chair following a tumultuous year in which he received a stage four cancer diagnosis (now, thankfully, in remission), and features an A-team of Henry alumni: Jay Bellerose on drums; Jennifer Condos on electric bass, Adam Levy on guitars; Patrick Warren on keys; and Levon Henry on reeds. The album was recorded and mixed by Pete Min and mastered by Kimberly Rosen. Like every other performer who relies on touring to make their living, Heath lost his entire income in the blink of an eye. Coming right off the back of a string of canceled work due to the Australian bushfire summer from hell, this COVID-19 pandemic hits hard. Heath was preparing to announce a run of tour dates to launch the new album, but has no option now but to put these plans on hold until it’s safe to go back out on the road. The only safety net in this time is the connection to his audience, so in response to this emergency Heath joined up with Patreon to help continue bringing his music to his audience. Subscribing through Patreon is an incredible way that you can support the artists that you love, and it helps them to focus on their creative work by providing a reliable, steady income stream. As a Patreon member, you’ll receive access to exclusive content: Whole albums of unreleased material! Demo recordings, sketches and more! Behind-the-scenes updates! Live stream concerts! And the pride of fuelling work that (he hopes) truly matters to you. You can find more about Patreon and Heath here: www.patreon.com/heathcullen
