Music Guru Brian Wise has built an amazing community of devoted music souls around his long running ‘Off The Record’ radio show on 3RRR as well as RHYTHMS Magazine, the roots music bible he founded over 30 years ago.Well it’s that time of year again where that flock gathers at Archies Creek to celebrate another big year of music and community.I guess we’ve all heard Brian bemoaning the absence of home grown Australian music in the local charts. So, in an effort to address this situation the focus of this year’s annual event will be to shine a light on our own local culture and music. Off The Record sound God Geoff Proctor will be supervising the BBQ and gig guide co-host Ken McLeish will MC whilst an illustrious ensemble of singers including Nick Barker, Rebecca Barnard, Mike Rudd, Queenie and Mabel & Ivy from Charm Of Finches will sing from the Australian songbook backed by an all star house band led by the maestro Shane O’Mara.
