I've only recently discovered a real enchanting gem of an EP 'Alive' by Bron that was recorded in Eltham by Jarred Doueal at Four4ty Recording Studios about 10 years ago. All 5 songs/tracks are simply superb: https://bron.bandcamp.com/album/alive I wish I'd known of it sooner (and seen live performances by Bron's band at the time) but Bron's more recent solo recordings are equally captivating and I'm glad to finally be entering Bron's World: https://www.bronmusic.com/

I'm enjoying listening to the newly released song by Ben Strong music - 'Searching For The Sun' https://www.facebook.com/share/r/SRJWAHs5jHFA8TsA/ Ben (aka Strongy) is a Hurstbridge local who's been writing great songs for a while, and hopefully this song will make it on to an album in future. Some other Strongy songs are at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfEJv0eBRrNEhalgPGdPFyg

My name is Ben, will also answer to Strongy, Oi or love. I live in the sticks on the edge of Melbourne, Australia, lucky enough to be surrounded by kookaburras, cockies, eucalypts and kangaroos.

Looking forward to again joining Brett Ditchfield for Thursday Drive at 88.6 PVFM today as I continue to learn about how to present a live to air radio show as part of the training course I'm doing at 88.6 Plenty Valley FM. Not sure if I've even got a face for radio - let alone a radio voice! - but I'm hoping to start a podcast about local music in our area (historical and current) hosted by the station after I've completed the training in April.
