Music Brian Cadd Musical Arrangement Peter Jones Music Recording Bill Armstrong Studios Brian Cadd was a popular singer songwriter who had been in the bands The Groop and Axiom in the 1960s, and then in the early 1970s went solo. His self-titled debut album was released in October 1972, with the first single Ginger Man. After doing the scores for Alvin Purple and the sequel Alvin Purple Rides Again - in which he also appears - and releasing his third solo album, Moonshine in 1974, Cadd went to the United States to work, not returning to Australia until 1993. His wiki is here. Cadd has his own detailed web site, with history, photos etc here. Information on that site is replicated, with other details, here. (Below: Brian Cadd in his Axiom days, on the right, front, and below that, his eponymous album, in the recording studio, and with the Bootleg Family) A 45 was released as a film tie-in. While some sources suggest that the title song briefly appeared in the top 40 in February 1974 at No. 29, the Go-Set Australian top 40 charts do not list it. Others suggest it peaked at No. 49. It was nonetheless ubiquitous in terms of radio airplay on pop music stations at the time. It, along with other Cadd numbers, can be found on YouTube, with links here. 45 (Stereo) Bootleg, a subsidiary of Fable BL-201 November 1973 Produced by Brian Cadd Arranged by Peter Jones Recording Engineer Graham Owens Recorded at Bill Armstrong Studios, Melbourne. Side A: Alvin Purple (2:23) (Brian Cadd) (Barrelhouse Music) vocals: Brian Cadd Side B: Sometime Man (2:23) (Brian Cadd) (Barrelhouse Music) vocals: Brian Cadd These tracks were also collected in a compile of Brian Cadd's music: LP Bootleg, a subsidiary of Fable BLA-047 1975 Gatefold The Magic of Brian Cadd Produced by Brian Cadd Recorded at Bill Armstrong Studios, Melbourne, Australia Side 1 Track 4: Sometime Man (2'23") (Brian Cadd) (Barrelhouse) vocals: Brian Cadd Side 2 Track 5: Alvin Purple (2'23") (Brian Cadd) (Barrelhouse) vocals: Brian Cadd The title song was also collected in a number of top forty original hits, and a compile of Brian Cadd's hits, suggesting that it might have reached top forty on some charts. In any case, it charted well enough in the top hundred, and with sufficient airplay to count as a hit.

Melbourne׳S Rockin׳ Venues
Melbourne’s Rockin’ Venues The Palais Theatre Most punters in Melbourne have had a Palais experience at least once. Maybe you saw The Rolling Stones in ’66, or went to Jesus Christ Superstar or The Andrew Durant Memorial Concert in the 70’s? Today it remains a grand old dame, still hosting iconic shows. Here is a cool link to its history: https://palaistheatre.com.au/venue/venue-history Armstrong Studios Basically, it was our Abbey Road. Whispering Jack was recorded here, and many other acts came to avail themselves of its world class facilities. (U2, Paul McCartney, Madonna, Bob Dylan, Split Enz, Crowded House and many more) Bill Armstrong started out in a terraced house in South Melbourne before moving operations to an old butter factory in Bank street. The work recorded here is a staggering list of Australian Rock & Entertainment. Wikipedia has the story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_Studios Festival Hall The “House of Stoush” in West Melbourne has hosted Wrestling, The Beatles, Boxing, Jethro Tull, Roller Derbies, Black Sabbath, Chuck Berry, The Bee Gees, Roy Orbison & hundreds more eclectic shows over its six-decade history. Recently, it was saved from high rise ‘re-development’ by concerned councils & ratepayers. https://blogs.unimelb.edu.au/archives/boxing-ballroom-dancing-and-the-bishop-of-coventry- festival-hall-and-stadiums-pty-ltd/ http://www.jpgr.co.uk/ven_melbourne.html Melbourne Town Hall A strange rock venue you might think, but The Beatles & Abba have both waved at the crowds from its balcony. If you take the MTH tour, you can wave from there too! https://whatson.melbourne.vic.gov.au/Whatson/tours/ground/Pages/b974dd12-59a5-4de8- a7b0-d8c2f82385ec.aspx?_ga=2.257283979.127260475.1547370975- 471500608.1542539087 Swanston St/ACDC Lane It takes a flatbed truck, a great song, a film crew from Countdown, and a rock band with bagpipes to create one of the greatest Aussie anthems of all time, It’s a Long Way to the Top (If you wanna Rock n’ Roll) This is where ACDC made one of their most remembered film clips in the 70’s.

VASE in Social Media and Finally... Auld Lang Syne Musicians' Utopia
Happy New Year! Welcome back to a New Year! For us at VASE, a new year brings resolutions and new energy to get on with our business of getting VASE amplification out into the world. Being a boutique, handmade item, VASE Amplifiers require a bit of patience to own. Every bit of the work that goes into these is done here in Australia, one by one. That said, we would like to get a bit faster in our delivery to those who are eager to own these beautiful amps so we are doing our best to facilitate this. The following steps are being taken: - A new dedicated assembly room is being configured here at the workshop. (With a viewing area to watch assembly). - Extra hands will be brought on deck to pitch in when necessary. - The CNC machine has undergone a total revamp to ensure the interruption that occurred last year doesn’t recur! -Amps will be available for play at sites in addition to our showroom (more information to follow soon). -VASE will again travel to the Melbourne Guitar Show on the 6th and 7th of August 2016. Auld Lang Syne 1 2 4 3 Mike Anderson, drummer in Facin’ the Crowd, sent some pictures and news of a recent reunion of Melbourne musicians. The group met for a 7 1/2 hour “lunch” at the College Lawn Hotel in Prahan. Here’s his wrap up on the event: Top left, picture #1 shows: Adrian Scott : Keyboards (& everything else), founding member of Air Supply, went on to Musical Director for Kylie Minogue for 9 years, toured USA with Little River Band, Studio Musician for everyone, Project Development for Apple computers & systems, Consultant for Roland Corp.
