Brian Cadd's Private Paris BRIAN CADD’S 2013 PRIVATE PARIS 6 day Brian Cadd’s private paris australians have known Brian Cadd and his music for forty years. all those wonderful songs like a Little ray of sunshine, don’t you Know it’s Magic, Ginger Man, Let Go, alvin purple...and many more for international artists such as Joe Cocker, ringo starr, Bonnie tyler, Glenn Campbell and so many others. But very few australians know that Brian has a great passion other than music! and that passion is PARIS. Brian’s love of paris has been combined with the services of Bill peach Journeys to create a not to be missed adventure. “I confess, I’ve been having an affair! It’s been a long one, filled with adventures, wild nights, crazy days, and people and places I never dreamed of knowing about or being involved with. No, it’s not a woman (although some people compare it to one!)...it’s a city; a beautiful city...Paris. I met her casually in the 60’s, had a huge fling with her in the early 80s and have been back to see her regularly since then, sometimes for six months at a time. And during those times I’ve discovered that she is far more than just a pretty face. Sure she’s got the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees. But she has so much more. Drawing on a couple of thousand years of history, Paris has so much to offer, so many secrets she keeps to herself until you coax her into revealing them. Then you find the wonder, the fun, the magic, the spiritual, the macabre and the bizarre. Not to mention the food, the wine, the restaurants and those bars. Come join me as I show you the wonderful Paris that I’ve grown to love......that I only found by walking the city endlessly and actually living there amongst it all. I’ll show you a Paris that never ceases to surprise me and will amaze you too.” DAY ONE Strolling down Boulevard Saint Germain The walk will finish in the famous Latin Quarter your journey begins in Paris today at the the tour continues past the street markets where you will join Brian and a notable local Westminster Hotel.

  • “Covering” the Bluesman from a Distance
    Introduction In many ways, my journey towards this thesis topic began with my brother’s music collection. Throughout my teens he would introduce me to a wide range of local and international acts, many of which were influenced by African-American blues artists. This influence is evident in both their construction of sound and the old songs that they rerecorded. From there I began tracing musical influences from song credits and interview excerpts—a path often travelled by musicians and fans alike—that would eventually lead me to an appreciation of blues music. The penultimate step towards this topic came in the form of my honours thesis—a creative project that involved rerecording several tracks from the catalogue of an early Australian country music artist, one of which was titled “Blue Mountain Blues”.1 From there I turned to blues music in Australia. Initially conceived as a history of “Australian blues”, it became apparent that this proposed sub-genre struggled to unify and explain the disparate musical styles contained therein. Although each artist was clearly addressing the musical characteristics and influences I had come to recognise as “blues music”, it all sounded different. In the meantime, I developed a keen interest in a fellow colleague’s thesis topic that addressed the role of “covers” within the Australian music industry (Giuffre, 2005). My epiphany—and catalyst for the current thesis topic—eventually presented itself while viewing a live performance from Peter Green Splinter Group. The concert was split into two courses: an acoustic entrée featuring several Robert Johnson “covers”; and, an electric main with side dishes of early Fleetwood Mac material—the band Green had help found many years ago.
