E15 : JOE GEIA coming to CresFest 25 : on a life in First Nations music

Joe has had an amazing career, from Indigenous reggae rock group No Fixed Address in the 80s, through to the Black Arm Band in the 2000s, and periods of leading his own band before and since then. His father and mother were forcibly removed from Palm Island in 1957, before he was born, after a strike in which indigenous workers campaigned to be paid for their work. His take on indigenous matters is always worth hearing, as is his best known song Yil Lull, an Indigenous anthem, and recent songs just recorded for a new vinyl.

E14 : MARK BANDICK : on Bluegrass and Compost

Mark is the guitarist and one of 6 singers in The Cherrypickers, a contemporary bluegrass band from Adelaide, recently one of the headliners at CresFest 24. We started talking during the festival, then caught up again a couple of weeks later, covering topics as varied as his experience at CresFest, singing harmony, the band's music and history together over the last 20 years, and then about his new life regenerating a rural property in Tasmania. You'll have no chance to get bored!
