There are times when you just know that certain places around you are standing out above the crowd.

There is one hall here in Gippsland that I have been aware of, even promoted their gigs on radio here in Gippsland over the years, but never managed to get along to. This is something I intend to change in the very near future!

Despite not actually being there, many of my musician friends have performed at the venue and always speak very highly of the venue.

So I' ve done some research and have when a song about this fabulous venue.

It's called "The Bundy Hall" and it's situated in the Maffra-Sale road.

Thanks to The Bundy - Keep up
the great work!

The song? "A Bundy Of Fun"

Enjoy!

DAVID DIPROSE - COMING TO 90 MILE THIS FRIDAY!

After spending numerous years immersed in the music industry, it's easy to become somewhat indifferent to both new and established talent, as the multitude of artists and genres can blur together.

However, there are moments when an artist's name crosses your path repeatedly, prompting a pause to reflect on the consistency and dedication evident in their work.

One such artist is Mr. David Diprose.

Each encounter with his name sparks a recognition of his unwavering commitment and impressive body of work.

Therefore, I felt compelled to take a moment to delve deeper into David's career and share insights into the remarkable journey of this distinguished gentleman.

**David Diprose: A Musical Journey through Australian Bluegrass, Blues, and Folk**

David Diprose, a singer, songwriter, and guitarist, stands as one of the cornerstones of the Australian music scene, particularly in the realms of Bluegrass, Blues, and country/folk.

With a career spanning decades, Diprose's music encapsulates the essence of rural Australian experiences, weaving stories of resilience, humor, and solace in the face of life's challenges.

**Early Years and Musical Influences**

Born and raised in rural Victoria and Tasmania, Diprose's upbringing immersed him in the stories and struggles of those living off the land, as he attended six different primary schools.

His parents, originally from farming backgrounds, had transitioned to city life, where Diprose found himself in the industrial suburbs of Melbourne during his teenage years.

It was here that he discovered his passion for music, initially influenced by iconic bands like The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

In the early '70s, serendipity led Diprose to the Blues of Robert Johnson and the soulful harmonies of Bluegrass through albums like "Will The Circle Be Unbroken."

This marked a pivotal moment as he delved into acoustic music, honing his skills in bottleneck blues and bluegrass flatpicking styles.

By the early '80s, Diprose had established himself as a respected solo artist in Melbourne's café scene, renowned for his professional demeanor and exceptional guitar prowess.

**Musical Career and Evolution**

Throughout his career, Diprose's musical journey has been characterized by evolution and exploration.

Despite the changing landscape of the music industry, he remained steadfast in his commitment to creating authentic, original music.

In 1995, he released his debut album, "Journey Along The Road," showcasing his rich storytelling and musical versatility.

However, it wasn't until the early 2000s that Diprose fully embraced his blues roots, earning accolades as one of Australia's foremost interpreters of pre-war blues legends like Robert Johnson and Blind Willie Johnson.

In 2009, Diprose unveiled "Train Don’t Run," a testament to his enduring passion for country blues, featuring a blend of original compositions and classic covers.

This marked the beginning of a prolific period in his career, with over 1,000 performances in pubs, clubs, and festivals across Australia.

His follow-up album, "Old School Blues" (2015), received widespread acclaim and solidified his reputation as a master of the genre.

**A Return to Bluegrass**

In 2013, a chance encounter with mandolin player Mark Pottenger reignited Diprose's passion for bluegrass music.

Together, they formed the Nine Mile Creek bluegrass band, captivating audiences with their infectious sound and heartfelt performances. Inspired by fellow musicians and the rich tradition of American roots music, Diprose ventured into songwriting, culminating in the release of his latest album, "Hillbilly Radio" (2020).

This album, characterized by its originality and authenticity, pays homage to the timeless sounds of bluegrass while infusing them with Diprose's distinctive Australian flair.

**Legacy and Impact**

David Diprose's contribution to the Australian music landscape cannot be overstated.

As a multi-award-winning songwriter and performer, he has left an indelible mark on the Bluegrass, Blues, and folk communities.

His music, rooted in tradition yet imbued with a modern sensibility, resonates with audiences across generations, bridging the gap between the past and the present.

In the words of Al Hensley of Rhythms Magazine, "As long as there are dedicated blues troubadours such as Dave Diprose carrying on this century-old music tradition, it will continue to not only survive but flourish."

With each note and lyric, David Diprose continues to enrich the musical tapestry of Australia, leaving behind a legacy that will endure for years to come.

David is performing at the 90 Mile Blues Club in Bairnsdale at the Bowling Club this coming Friday. Check him out, you will have a great time.

Our Story

The Australia Blues Experience is a re-branding of “The Blues Shack”, a program previously presented by Ray Reid on Mornington Victoria’s Community Radio Station 98.7 RPPFM, for presentation through 104.7 Gippsland FM commencing April 2018 (subject to station final approval).

This program's focus is to present "Australian Blues Artists", with specific attention to local Blkues artists, as well as key Australian Blues artists and their work to the local, Australian and International audience by way of FM radio and the internet. The first International edition of the Australian Blues Experience aired on the 13th of October 2015 on Galaxy 107fm, New Zealand, and ended in April 2017. As from January 2016 the program commenced Podcasting through "Podbean.com", which you can access through http://australianbluesexperience.podbean.com . It is anticipated that Podcasting may re-commence in the near future, watch this space.
