HIGHLIGHT OF 2014

The fact that the Bachelor controversy was considered worthy news to be stretched out for as long as it did. I mean are you serious? That's worthy news over all the international events that are occurring right now? Groovin The Moo in Oakbank was incredible and happened to be the last musical event that I have paid for since reviewing for theMusic.com.au. Cheers guys!

PREDICTION FOR 2015

Keep an eye on solo artist Jarryd James, who supported Broods on their Australian tour earlier this year. Absolutely mesmerising and our answer to acts like Ásgeir and the like. Also Castlecomer is an incredible act to witness live with incredible harmonies so they should be doing great things.
