This interview was done a while ago but it was worth the wait as it features some of the upcoming debut album "The Flickering Stars" by The Flickering stars. And if 'Blue Honey' and 'Clown Shoes' are anything to go by the album is going to be a killer. You can get ticket to the launch on the 20th of September 2026 here.

In part 1 we go through Idge's songwriting style, music that he paid attention 2 and a pretty cool first band sound. I was lucky enough to get some of Idge's earlier work too, so you will hear a little of how his sound has progressed in the last 25 years.
Since starting recording and engineering in Melbourne, out the back of Bakehouse in 2000, with a walk away with a CD in a day offer (which my band took up) Idge has been involved in recording some of Australia's best known and unknown talent and has a mark on the Melbourne Music scene with at least 300 to 400 recordings including Dave Graney, The Basics, The Darling Downs, Hugo Race & The True Spirit, Amyl and the Sniffers and many more.
