Paul Kelly

Barker pursued a successful solo career, releasing albums including Happy Man, which we're going to hear shortly, and Damn Mermaids in 1996, while expanding into a little bit of acting in the film Amy in 1998.

He's done collaborations with Paul Kelly, Tim Rogers, and written songs for many others.

I'll talk about Nick a little bit more later on, but we are going to be celebrating seasides.

Most importantly, in the next hour after I've had a chat with Nick, because he might have something to say about some of the songs, how they were chosen for the album, et cetera, et cetera.

Like with the Warren Browns things, you know, they'll be the only shows I'll do this year, you know? So I've gone for a less is more type thing, and just people appreciate it.

and the seaside thing was i kind of i thought well i've forgotten about that record and it's sort of you know it's sort of over 20 years or 25 years or whatever you know so it's made sense to do it you know and to just and to um just play it it's all you know and as i said people respond well to that type of thing they like something that's a little different and It's a great record.

You know, I got to play with Ross Hannaford on it, Paul Kelly's on it.

Tim Rogers.

I Think this video also tells a little bit the story here There's nothing here about the video on the note so But it looks like there's something going on here.

I So the song had mostly positive reviews from critics, who played the lyrics, vocals, and production, through comparisons to singer-songwriters like Paul Kelly and Jeff Buckley.

It had commercial success in Australia, peaking at number 6 on the ARIA singles chart, subsequently being named the number one song in radio on Triple J's Hot 100 in 2013.

The following year, it also peaked at number 10 in the UK, and entered Billboard's alternative charts, peaking at number 1.

Yeah, you did guess who it was and Bernie were out of the room so you didn't quite hear the song.

That was a band, that was from about, it's hard to put an exact time, but 77 or 78, a band called the High Rise Bombers and that featured Paul Kelly.

and basically Paul Kelly was writing his own stuff and was on the vocals there.

You know, a young Paul Kelly, but pretty...

You could hear his voice quite clearly in there.

And, yeah, they were together for a couple of years and then sort of morphed into Paul Kelly and the Dots.

And his first single as Paul Kelly and the Dots was Billy Baxter.

I wanted to be like Billy Baxter.

That's Sweethearts.

Paul Kelly from the great double album Ways and Means.

We heard Nothing But a Dream.

Funny enough, not.
