Pete Murray, Billy Swan and Procol Harum's Mick Grabham

He’s an Australian artist who’s produced 20 singles and 7 studio albums, the first of which reached number one and stayed in the top 100 for two and a half years. He’s won countless awards and is known as the quiet achiever of the Aussie music scene. PETE MURRAY has just released a couple of new EP’s. I tracked him down to his home in Byron Bay, NSW to learn more about his latest music.

BILLY SWAN epitomises the genre that is ‘One-Hit-Wonders’ and he couldn’t be happier about it. He never imagined he’d find success at all but went on to work with Kris Kristofferson and to produce the legendary Polk Salad Annie for Tony Joe White. Can you name Billy’s signature tune? If you said ‘ I Can Help’ – you’re right! Tune in to hear all of Billy’s stories, they’re amazing.

They were one of the UK’s most respected rock bands and their guitarist, MICK GRABHAM was one of the best. Best known for his five-year stint in the 1970s, Mick had previously played in the minor British late-’60s band Plastic Penny, also logging in time with the even more obscure Cochise and the Guitar Orchestra. I catch up with Mick this week both to reminisce about his days with Procol Harum and to preview his fabulous new solo album.
