    By The Hon.

  • A Celebration for Harvey James
    MEDIA RELEASE Thursday 20 January 2011 A CELEBRATION FOR HARVEY JAMES “Gimme That Guitar” now a tribute concert for much loved guitarist Sherbet members release statement about their loss Organisers of the “Gimme That Guitar” concert for Sherbet guitarist Harvey James, deeply saddened by Harvey’s passing last Saturday January 15, have confirmed that the show will definitely go on in Sydney next month. “Gimme That Guitar” will be now be a tribute to Harvey, considered one of Australia’s most respected guitar players, and a celebration of the music he played and loved. Tickets to the February 17 concert starring Sherbet sold out in just two days last week. Harvey was personally responsible for bringing together the outstanding line-up of talent donating their time and energies for the night. Along with Sherbet, Harvey’s close friends and colleagues Richard Clapton, Renee Geyer, Ian Moss, Swanee, Dragon, Kevin Borich and Lindsay Wells will perform. Harvey’s two sons, Gabriel and Joshua, will be playing guitar in the Band Of Friends, and Gabriel will also be on stage playing with Sherbet on behalf of his father. The remaining members of Sherbet – Daryl Braithwaite, Garth Porter, Tony Mitchell and Alan Sandow – released this statement today: “This is such a sad time, especially for Harvey's family. We were all hoping that he'd be with us for Gimme That Guitar; sadly it was not to be. Harvey stepped into Sherbet at a critical time, and his stunning talent and infectious personality immediately shone through. After all these years, his wonderful solos still shine.

  • High Rolling Music Credits
    Music composed and arranged by Sherbet Sherbet Music produced by Richard Lush and Sherbet Music Co-ordinated by Roger Davies Sherbert was by far the most popular Australian pop rock band of the 1970s, in many ways a child of the ABC rock show Countdown. The group scored some 20 consecutive hit singles and produced some 17 albums. The band broke up mid-1979 after changing their name to Highway but still failing to crack the United States They have a wiki here. There is also a good detailed history of the band at milesago here. (Below: Sherbert) (Above, from left to right: Tony Mitchell, Alan Sandow, Daryl Braithwaite, Harvey James and Garth Porter). (Below: inner liner for Sherbet's Howzat album) At the start of 1975, Richard Lush began to produce Sherbert's records. He had started as a trainee engineer at EMI's Abbey Road Studios, and worked on some Beatles' recordings, including Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Porter also began to do the odd lead vocal on some Sherbert singles. (Below: an older Richard Lush, who is interviewed here, still up July 2013) The title song by Sherbert was released on a 45 but wasn't a big hit for the group - domestically it didn't chart in Go Set and only reached 33 in the Kent Music Report and did no business elsewhere( they also did a song, Angela, for the horror film Snapshot, in January 1979, but it barely made it into the top 100): 45 (Stereo) Razzle K-6890 1977 Producers: R.

  • Spectrumto Ariel
    Spectrum to Ariel feat. Glyn Mason The Mike Rudd & Glyn Mason story Glyn Mason was already well known to Spectrum and Ariel’s founder members Mike Rudd and Bill Putt when he accepted the pair’s invitation to join Ariel and journey to the UK in 1975 to help promote the Rock & Roll Scars album, which Ariel had recorded at Abbey Road Studios earlier that same year. Ariel’s UK tour was certainly action-packed, but after drummer John Lee quit the band returned to Australia where guitarist Harvey James famously also left the band to join Sherbet. Despite a few more personnel changes, Glyn stuck with Rudd and Putt right up to Ariel’s final Island Fantasia concert at Dallas Brooks Hall in 1977. Glyn was still on board to record Ariel’s last studio album Goodnight Fiona, which saw his emergence as an assured songwriter. It’s interesting to note that Ariel’s final single, It’s Only Love, written by Glyn, was Billy Thorpe’s favourite Australian single. How Spectrum to Ariel came about It was Laneway Music’s Vincent Donato who suggested to Mike Rudd that he put on a special one-off concert on at Melbourne’s famous Caravan Music Club. The concert would be based around Laneway’s re-Visionary album, an eclectic collection of Mike’s songs culled from Spectrum, Murtceps and Ariel albums, which. Laneway planned to release on iTunes simultaneously with the concert. Rudd has resisted similar propositions in the past on the grounds that a one-off concert demands so much rehearsal time with little prospect for the band to exploit in future.

  • Sherbet Reunites for One of Their Own
    MEDIA RELEASE 12 January 2011 SHERBET REUNITES FOR ONE OF THEIR OWN “Gimme That Guitar” benefit for Harvey James One night only – Thursday February 17 Tickets on sale today! Members of Australia’s most popular and chart-topping pop group of the seventies, the incomparable Sherbet, will reunite in Sydney this February for one special night, in support of their lead guitarist Harvey James, who is battling inoperable lung cancer. Also performing in support of Harvey are music icons Richard Clapton, Renee Geyer, Dragon, Ian Moss, Swanee, Kevin Borich and Lindsay Wells of Healing Force. A “Band of Friends”, featuring Harvey along with Garth Porter, Lindsay Wells, Harry Brus, Lucius Borich, and Harvey’s two sons Gabriel James and Joshua James, is also on the bill. Despite aggressive treatment for his cancer, Harvey is upbeat about getting on stage with friends and family. He says, “I look forward to playing with some great people again and hope that the crowd takes it in the spirit it is intended – LOUD rock and roll that make the hairs on their neck stand out!” The “Gimme That Guitar” benefit on Thursday February 17 will be headlined by the full line- up of Sherbet that recorded the international smash hit “Howzat”, a song featuring one of the most distinctive guitar solos in Australian pop music history. The guitar that Harvey played on that solo, his old yellow L-Series Stratocaster, has been on many a journey over the years and is indelibly tied to Harvey and Sherbet. Harvey joined Sherbet in early 1976, replacing founding guitarist Clive Shakespeare.
