Listen via the 88.6 Plenty Valley FM website, radio, or the Community Radio Plus app. (And/or listen back later.)

Many thanks to my guest Sean Flynn Nnylf (The Brothers Cloud) for being my guest on the recent program (28th September). Sean brought in a mini archive of CDs of previous bands he was a member of (including raw recordings from 1987 of his teenage band, Bone Orchard - what would they have thought if they knew those 2 songs would be played on radio 38 years later?!)). We also heard music from the bands Hoop (1994), Red Ryder (2005), One Lane Bridge (2006), The Quolls (2012) Elbow Room (2020 & 2021) and The Brothers Cloud (2025).

Interview with Sean Flynn starts at the 25 minute mark. Sean's Youtube channel that we refer to is: https://www.youtube.com/

We began with hearing Sebastian Jorgensen, with a track from the 2001 compilation CD 'Living On The Wedge (A collection of music from artists of Nillumbik)' - in honour of Felix Borsari (1945-2000) who's artwork was used for the cover art. There is an exhibition of Felix Borsari's works being launched at Eltham Library this Sunday 5th October from 2pm: https://www.nillumbik.vic.gov.au/Explore/Events-and-festivals/Events-calendar/First-Impressions

We next heard recent (September) releases from Icecream Hands, The Phosphenes - Melbourne and Jaron Natoli. After my conversation with Sean Flynn we heard tracks from Cian Bennet Music, Summon the Birds, Keep Left, Sarah Catania and Robbie Greig.

No guest on tonight's show, for various reasons, but 3 hours of local music - and hopefully less talk from me as well!
