GREEN MOHAIR SUITS
A quartet of expressive songwriters that take their four-part harmonies as seriously as they take their dedication to a good time, The Green Mohair Suits, (Brian Campeau, Richie Cuthbert, Jason Mannell and Ben Romalis) hold a reputation for inspired showmanship and performances as brash as they are emotive.
Having started as a way to hang out, enjoy a few drinks and stretch their obvious skills at smaller unrehearsed gigs, things have snowballed to hardcore recording sessions, main stage festival spots, international supports and, more recently, acting as the backing band for the initial Australian release of Beck Hansen’s Song Reader featuring the likes of Josh Pyke and Caitlin Park. The Green Mohair Suits’ inspired musicianship has seen them compile a collection of quality original tunes – a solid mix of heartbreak and hangover, humour and humility – that are crying out to entertain a broader audience.
Occupying a broad musical landscape somewhere between Beck, Fleet Foxes, Tom Waits, & Gram Parsons, GMS’ style basks in the glow of “Garage-grass”. Fans should expect happy sad songs (or sad happy songs) in a harmonious blur of booze-soaked good times.
TRADITIONAL GRAFITTI
Traditional Graffiti (aka ‘The Trads’) rose from the ashes of the popular Wheeze & Suck Band. The regular band members are:
-
Ian "The Pump" Macintosh – guitars, melodeon, vocals.
-
John "Johnny Red Tips" Milce – percussion, jokes.
-
Brad ‘Stix’ Newhouse – percussion.
-
Nigel "Muddy" Walters – mandolin, guitar, vocals.
-
Clive ‘Dodger’ McFarland – guitar, vocals.
Nigel and Ian are both solo performers in their own right. Ian is also a prolific songwriter, being awarded the Australian Songwriters Award in 2006 for ‘Rag and Bone’. Nigel is also a member of the duo ‘Cap in Hand’. Ian is a member of Sydney blues trio ‘The RBJ’s, and UK contemporary music trio, ‘TRI’. Brad plays skins in various bands around Sydney, and has played with the Trad’s members on numerous occasions over ten years.
John and Ian have a long history of involvement in traditional dance both here in Australia and in the UK, and Traditional Graffiti include threads and themes of the tradition in their repertoire.
The ‘Trads’ maintain their reputation for Roots music infused with fun, and audience participation. As Traditional Graffiti, and Wheeze & Suck Band before, there have been nine albums released, plus various solo albums from Muddy and Pump.
The Trad’s perform at Festivals in Australia, plus Club and pub appearances. The band perform a mix of English traditional and contemporary Roots music, (including some favourites from the Wheezers repertoire), and many self-penned compositions.
CHARLOTTE ROSE
Versatile songbird and storyteller Charlotte Rose is the Sydney music scene’s best kept secret. A lifelong musician and performer, Charlotte has finely honed a rousing which is all her own, borrowing elements from soul, jazz and country along the way. A student of the classics, her covers repertoire extends as far back as The Carter Family and as far forward as Billie Eilish, with arrangements tailored to suit the mood of any venue.
Adverse to sitting still, Charlotte has done hundreds of performances since going professional in 2017, notably including supporting Australian music legends Daryl Braithwaite, You Am I, Thirsty Merc and Brian Cadd (among others).
Not just a skilled performer, Charlotte saw success in 2020 when her original song ‘(Watch Out) Boy’ was shortlisted by the ASA Australian Songwriting Contest. The song was released that year as a single from the debut EP from her folk/country trio, The Fallen Robins, who saw back-to-back sold-out shows at Sydney’s iconic Camelot Lounge, recognition from triple j, and high rotation on community and regional NSW radio.
