Thank you Folk Radio UK for premiering the powerful new Michael Waugh video WE ARE HERE.

On his latest single, ‘We Are Here‘, Michael Waugh turns to the power of storytelling, delivering an anthemic, rousing folk song that praises heroes, all of whom are gay pioneers – “I wanted to talk about the history of gay men, and to include myself as a point on that timeline. I also wanted to let the next generation know that we are here, we are waiting to be their community, and that they are loved.“

On January 13 we're releasing STORER, an extraordinary collaboration between Sara Storer & her brother Greg Storer. It's likely that you're aware of Greg's masterful writing and duets with Sara over the years but you may not be so familiar with an outstanding album that Greg released in 2010 called Backwater. It's highly worthy of a listen.

"Over the course of three previous albums Michael Waugh has established himself as one of Australia's finest songwriters. With The Cast he ups the bar even further and then leaps over it. This album is right up there with the Swans 2005 Premiership team in terms of class, ability, character, depth, emotional content and sheer breathtaking displays of talent. I don't offer higher praise."
Stuart Coupe - author, music commentator and radio presenter
