Fiddlers Feast
The new Fiddlers Feast album ‘Caravan’ hit the road last month with the band launching the album at their annual concert series at the Tamworth Country Music Festival. The madcap first single ‘The Devil Went Down To Tamworth’ appropriately found its mark with the Super Radio Network picking up the song thanks to support from the man behind the golden microphone John Laws along with a host of Community Radio stations nationwide.
As legendary Australian country music presenter John Nutting (Australian Country) comments “you have my complete support... I love these blokes!” Bay FM’s Jan Naryadds “lovely album, they’re sooooo versatile and switch so effortlessly and well from one style to the next. Caravan’s on rotation!”

Jim Low
Australian Bush Laureate Awards finalistJim Low’s new album Across the Blue Mountains is now ready for production.
The album is being released to help commemorate the region’s Bicentennial, celebrations of which are planned continually for the next 3 years (2013-15) taking in the explorers' crossing, the road building and Macquarie's first use of the road. The highlight will be the re-enactment of the crossing in May 2013. Blue Mountains Council has a site specifically for the Crossings.
In the meantime if you haven’t already, discover The Further I Travel songs from which can be heard at the Undercover Music Soundcloud page. The album is still enjoying plenty of radio support from folk and country programs alike with Ian ‘Macca’ McNamara recently playing Towns on the Castlereagh (featured in this month’s edition of Undercover Radio) on his Australia All Over show.
Look out for Jim Low inLe Cri du Coyote Magazine thanks to our good mate Roland Lanzarone who suggests Jim is certainly a man of reflection who nicely writes his songs recalling Australian historical events in the form of country ballads.
