Bill Jackson
More info coming soon, for now a review of Bill's last CD "Jerilderie" from Age Magazine:
"You could be sitting in your Camry, stuck on the Western Ring Road, but pop Bill Jackson’s latest
into the CD player and you could be cruising the open road with nothing but time and nowhere
particular to be.
"Gippsland bloke Jackson spends a lot of time working in the U.S. - these songs were
recorded for the most part in Nashville, Tennessee – and there’s country twang aplenty courtesy
of Pete Fidler’s excellent Dobro and mandolin, and a bit of banjo from Ruth Hazleton and fiddle
from Kat Mear, without indulging in any big-hat self-indulgence.
"The writing is shared between Bill and his brother Ross and their sense of home is evident, starting with the title track and
its Kelly-country companion piece, Joe Byrne. Their appreciation of things American is seen in
the delicious Eggs Over Easy, a tribute to the breakfasts of Austin, Texas, but the song is also
something of a wanderer’s blues, as is much of the material here – you love where you are, miss where
you’ve been, and look forward to the next place".

The Stillsons
The Stillsons are past visitors to our Club and coming back to launch their new CD. They blend folk, blues and
country with a bit of quirk. Based in Melbourne they comprise two singers -
Justin Bernasconi (guitar) and Cat Canteri (drums), plus Ben Franz (pedal steel guitar) and Edmondo Ammendola
(Augie March) on bass guitar.
Their previous album ‘Earnest’ was named ‘album of the week’ by ABC Radio Australia, ABC Dig,
ABC Gold Coast, ABC Bendigo and Radio Adelaide. It has also been highly regarded in the national
press, being named “Best Of The Week” in The Sydney Morning Herald, January 2012.
Many of their songs are continuing to reach overseas, being played on NZ Radio, BBC Scotland,
BBC Ulster and BBC Radio 2.
Under the Grandstand, Queen Elizabeth Oval, View Street, from 8:00pm for an 8:15pm start.
