In the mid '70s Skyhooks basically gave the Australian music industry the enema it had been needing. For too long many Australian bands spent hours copying their UK/USA cousins and Australian content in songs was far and few between.Skyhooks were cheeky, brash and colourful: wearing makeup years before Kiss were even conceived. Songwriter Greg Macainsh composed many amazing tunes-many sprinkled with Melbourne place names and Australian themes and he put together the band that would change the musical history of the country. Greg Macainsh grew up in Melbourne, Australia. He was exposed to a diverse array of musical influences and his passion for music developed during his teenage years, leading him to pick up the bass guitar. In 66, while at high school, Macainsh formed his first band, Spare Parts, alongside drummer Imants "Freddie" Strauks.This initial foray into the world of music marked the beginning of a collaborative relationship that would prove pivotal in the years to come. The duo laid the groundwork for subsequent projects, including bands like Sound Pump, Reuben Tice, Claptrap, and Frame.In 73, Macainsh co-founded Skyhooks. Skyhooks quickly gained a cult following in Melbourne, captivating audiences with their theatrical performances and provocative lyrics that addressed themes such as drugs, sex, and the Australian gay scene. Their music was distinctly Australian, often referencing local places and culture. However, it wasn't until the addition of lead vocalist Graeme "Shirley" Strachan in 1974 that the band solidified its classic lineup and began its ascent to national prominence.The release of their debut album, "Living in the 70's," in 74 marked a turning point for Skyhooks and Australian rock music. Produced by Daddy Cool's Ross Wilson, the album showcased Macainsh's songwriting prowess. Despite six of its ten songs being banned by Australian commercial radio due to their controversial content, the album soared to the top of the charts, remaining at number one for 16 weeks and selling over 200,000 copies—a record-breaking achievement at the time.Skyhooks' success was further propelled by their dynamic performances on tv programs like ABC's "Countdown." The band's second album, "Ego Is Not a Dirty Word," released in 1975, continued their winning streak, topping the charts for 11 weeks and solidifying their status as Australian rock icons.Despite their monumental success, Skyhooks faced challenges, particularly in breaking into the international market. A 1976 tour of the United States yielded limited success, as American audiences struggled to connect with the band's uniquely Australian references and flamboyant style. Internal changes followed, with guitarist Red Symons departing in 1977 and lead vocalist Shirley Strachan leaving in 1978. These shifts marked the beginning of a transitional period for the band, leading to a decline in commercial success and culminating in their disbandment in 1980.Following the dissolution of Skyhooks, Greg Macainsh embarked on a diverse and fulfilling career. He earned a law degree, and applied his creative talents to various projects. Macainsh also developed a passion for mountain biking and culinary arts, notably perfecting a kosher chicken stock.Skyhooks' impact on Australian music and culture is immeasurable. Their fearless exploration of taboo subjects and incorporation of Australian vernacular into their lyrics challenged the status quo and paved the way for future artists to express authentic narratives. In this episode we journey through Greg Macainsh's life. From his early days in Melbourne to the heights of fame with Skyhooks and his subsequent personal and professional endeavours, Greg story is one of creativity, resilience, and lasting impact. This episode is certain to resonate with music lovers, baby boomers, Australian music fans, Skyhooks enthusiasts, and aficionados of 70s music all over the world.#skyhooks #australianrockmusic #'70srock #hits

From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock and as a solo artist with no less than 26 ARIA Top 40 hits to his credit as a singer, songwriter and producer, ROSS WILSON is one of Australia's most awarded, respected and well-known artists. From the legendary band Daddy Cool whose number one anthem Eagle Rock and debut album “Daddy Who?” smashed all previous sales records in Australia an astounding 50 years ago in 1971, to the 1977 formation of Mondo Rock, delivering 80's hits ‘Cool World', ‘State of The Heart', ‘Chemistry', ‘No Time', and ‘Come Said The Boy' and into the 21st century as a solo performer, Ross has never been out of the limelight. In fact, Ross Wilson is probably the only person in Australian rock music who can't make a comeback simply because he's never been away. With a career that spans well over 50 years, Ross remains one of this country's most respected and most beloved artists. From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock, as a solo artist, a songwriter or producer of the legendary Skyhooks and Jo Jo Zep, Ross's success has continued unabated. He fronted Daddy Cool and exploded out of the '70s playing rootsy '50s sounds. He then formed Mondo Rock who surfed the contemporary scene with chart topping singles & albums from the mid '70s to the late '80s. As a solo performer and major songwriter he continued to achieve success and make his mark during the '90s & beyond with many of his songs being recorded by artists as diverse as Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham, Troy Cassar-Daley, Keke (Spain), Renee Geyer, Christine Anu, Duane Jarvis (US), Elkie Brooks (UK) even The Wiggles! His latest release in 2023, an EP called 'She's Stuck On Facebook All The Time' is a modern day tragicomedy in the blues genre. Ross Wilson joins us this week to fill us in on the entirety of his musical career. He's had an amazing ride and is as entertaining in interview as he is on stage. A must listen. To learn more about Ross Wilson head for his website www.rosswilson.com.au If you'd like to get in touch with me with a comment, feedback or a suggestion for a future guest for the show, please feel free to contact me through my website www.abreathofreshair.com.au I hope you enjoy this week's episode.
Jo & Sandy are pinching themselves!!! They are soooo bloody excited to have as their very special guest, the man that brought us Australia's most iconic song as front man for Daddy Cool in the 70s then backed up in the 80s with the hit making Mondo Rock. Give it up for the incredible Ross Wilson!!
Buddy Guy put out an album in 1991 called Damn Right I Got The Blues. The song sounds like so much of a form of catharsis. However, blues can also represent a form of celebration. There's pre-war country blues, jump blues, swamp blues.... There's blues styles from Chicago, Texas, Louisiana and other American regions. The blues is not one thing. It's old...it's contemporary. It's relaxed...it's heart pumping. It has old and young practitioners. It has iconic practitioners and some bloke playing it at your local pub. Welcome to episode 169 of Love That Album. Obviously, the most famous blues musicians are those from the US and from the UK. Here in Australia, however, there's been a long tradition of musicians who've devoted themselves to the blues, be it through the pre-war stylings of The Paramount Trio, the Chicago style of Collard Greens and Gravy or....the hard-boogie style of Carson. Blues lovers here believe that there is something uniquely Australian about how blues is performed here....tyranny of distance making it gritty or something like that. In 2019, artist and blues lover Pauline Bailey took it upon herself to record an oral history of Australian blues by speaking to a plethora (as Max Crawdaddy would have it) of musicians about their connection to local blues music. In 2023, Pauline has just released Volume 4 of these incredible books with no intention of stopping. Many are well known (Diesel, Jeff Lang, Ross Wilson, Mal Eastick, Mike Rudd), some not so much......all have fascinating stories to tell about how music came into their lives, how they've pursued it, and where it took them. These books are an invaluable resource into a side of Australian music history not previously tackled. The books even feature chapters devoted to some past LTA guests (Shane Pacey, Charles Jenkins, Anthony Shortte, Sarah Carroll, and Chris Wilson). My huge thanks to Pauline for joining me to discuss her work and her devotion to the music and stylists she's immortalised in print.

Northern Irish artist Ross Wilson MBE talks about his remarkable sculpture The Searcher, which is based on the character of Digory Kirke who, in ‘The Magician's Nephew,' creates a wardrobe made from a magical apple tree. Modelled on CS Lewis as he was in 1919, the sculpture seeks, in the words of the artist, to capture the “great ideas of sacrifice, redemption, victory and freedom for the sons of Adam and the daughters of Eve” that lie at the heart of the ‘Chronicles of Narnia'. This talk was originally given at a CS Lewis symposium called Now We Have Faces On 3rd November, which was hosted by The CS Lewis Group at Ulster University in coordination with English at Ulster.

What happens at each Boston School Committee meeting has big implications for our students and our city. In “Last Night @ School Committee,” Jill Shah and Ross Wilson recap the highlights of each meeting, provide commentary and context, and shine a light on the decisions our leaders are making. Last night was a short meeting and the first featuring Acting Superintendent Drew Echelson. Chair Jeri Robinson began by noting that discussions are still underway regarding contracts for Dr. Echelson and new superintendent Mary Skipper, and that more information will be shared at a future meeting. Dr. Echelson next shared his Acting Superintendent's Report, which included an update on how the district is preparing for the mandates laid out in its agreement with the State Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) in areas including transportation, special education, and more. He announced that he will be creating several new positions within the Central Office, including the promotion of the current Senior Executive Director of Data and Accountability to the newly-created position of Assistant Superintendent of Data, Strategy, and Implementation. The meeting continued with just eight public comments, followed by unanimous votes approving charter renewals for three Horace Mann Charter Schools and athletics association membership for eight Boston schools. The meeting concluded with a free-flowing discussion of School Committee processes and procedures – a discussion that did not reach a clear resolution on reforms or next steps.
