For those who respect & support each other, there's MUSIC TO MAKE and release with many in 2025. We've been waiting in the wings that can now fly onward. 'High Tides Raise All Boats" 'Jon Hines' Canadian Musician

It is with great cheers and respect I share my gratitude to the musicians, families, friends, punters, media, mechanics and venues who have supported myself and fellow colleagues over the last eighteen years in Western Australia. Thank you for your belief in the work we present and the friendships we share and I'm sure we all appreciate it. We will be around in 2025 as it's time to visit the world where opportunity is currently on offer.
Take care of yourselves, continue to support your worthy local creatives and venues while you keep on being the good folk you are. Unfortunately Tiddalick drank all the water so we couldn't stay around for survival any longer as musicians. There will never be an industry while performers can't make Tiddalick laugh to share the abundance of water available to all.
Just one day in the future though, 'all good things come to an end' and although challenging, I will continue presenting live music to Western Australia as an independent musician and booking agent. The forward vision is to tour international musicians and perform with our local musicians for diversity at live music events. I'll see you there sometime and keep the live music curators and musicians honest. Cheers Justin Francis Corney Music

The lack of opportunity as a musician to perform live stifles progress across the whole sector. 'Justin Francis'

CARL FIDLERCARL FIDLER - vocal/guitar
Music Style - Rock n Folk n Roll Origin - Launceston TAS. Fremantle W.A. Performs - Originals & Covers |
Carl's musical sojourn began at age 14 as a cabaret singer supporting some of Australia's finest crooners; Maria Vanuti, John St Peters, Joe Perone, Simon Galagher, Normie Rowe. At seventeen, Carl moved to Canberra to study Opera at the Australian National University and began a lifelong affair with Pop Music!
In 2001, Carl formed The Dead Abigails, a 5-piece Pop Rock band, and his most successful project to date. Unearthed by Triple J in 2003, the Abigail's signed to Shock Publishing and released the Code EP. They received regular airplay on Triple J, Rage and Noise TV (SBS), and much later on McLeods Daughters, Young Lyons and Big Brother. The Abigail's were named Oz Music Ambassadors, toured the UK and supported many great Australian bands including, Grinspoon, Kiss Chasey, Thirsty Merc, Diesel, The Whitlams and INXS. Their second release was to be their last, The Dead Abigail's DVD/CD. |
As well as playing regular solo support slots for touring acts such as Keith Urban, Tim Rogers, Dave Graney, Ian Moss, and Tim Freedman, Carl founded Mayfield, a 7-piece Soul/Dance act that combined his love of Curtis Mayfield with progressive dance styles. Since moving to Fremantle, Carl has been working with Champion Music and continues to write under many monikers: 'Mayfield' (soul), 'Da Blang' (dance), 'Intendo' (hardcore techno), and a new collaboration 'This' (electro pop).
Carl returns regularly to Sydney to perform with two soul bands: Johnny G and E Types, a 10 piece Memphis Soul Review; and Barrio Soul, an 11 piece tribute to the Latin soul scene of New York in the 60’s.

Music Style - Folk Rock/Pop Origin - Fremantle W.A. Performs - Originals & Covers |
The video features both Adrian Hoffmann & Shaun Corlson live with Steve Kilbey, of 'The Church'.
There’s a hint of the romantic in singer/songwriter, Adrian Hoffmann. For him, the idea of complete strangers coming together to be united by a musician performing on a stage or in the corner still fills this young veteran with a sense of excitement.
It’s a fascination that has seen Hoffmann release an EP and two albums with his band The Morning Night; tour Australia and Europe with the likes of The Triffids and The Church’s Steve Kilbey; and establish a solo career. Adrian Hoffmans studio offerings are now available on Wrong Sea Music via Bandcamp |
corlsonShaun Corlson - vocal/guitar
Music Style - Folk /Alternative Origin - Kelmscott W.A. Performs - Originals & Covers |
Shaun Corlson is a singer/songwriter from the West Coast of Australia making music on his own terms for years. His work in 'No Flowers No Wedding Dress' and comically metal named 'db Threshold' illustrate this perfectly. He makes music a shade left of center, melodic, slightly skewed, with honest and thoughtful lyrics..
Playing 6 and 12 string guitars, with a voice that has been compared to the likes of Lloyd Cole and the late Grant McLennan, Corlsonj performs his brand of skewed country and psychedelic folk rock with a passion and flair that shows his commitment to his craft. In Late 2011 Corlson released two online albums under his own name, a compilation album of No Flowers No Wedding Dress songs and a Salvage Diver Single. Having spent the 90’s playing with No Flowers No Wedding dress by rel easing 3 albums and touring in Australia and in Spain. |
Corlson's regular band is Salvage Diver and his solo performances are mixed with songs from his own large repertoire of original songs and favourite songs from the last 40 years of rock music. From classic rock of The Stones and the Beatles to more recent artists such as Radiohead and Wilco.

BEAUTIFUL CARTEL - Glenn Herbert devours music and he always has. The mind behind Beautiful Cartel has rolled with the punches in his life and along the way created soundtracks that have reflected his feelings during different times, becoming a jack of all trades and many genres in the process. From EDM projects and hip hop to grunge and roots music excursions, Herbert’s musical travels have come to roost on the debut Beautiful Cartel album, Frisson.
It’s truly an exercise in both consolidation and diversity. “I honestly feel like this album is self-indulgence,” he says, candidly. “It’s not like, ‘look what I can do’, it’s more that I’ve been diagnosed as ADD and I don’t stick with one thing very well. I started out liking one genre of music which was grunge, which turned into rock and to rap and to roots kind of stuff. |
This album is just as many aspects of me that I can possibly show.” Collaboration has been the key to Herbert focusing on bringing his many musical tastes into a cohesive vision. “I’m someone who’s always rushed everything,” he explains. “I don’t really finish things. I’m a perfectionist who doesn’t quite get there a lot of the time.
The last few years I’ve had to really knuckle down and pull myself back because it didn’t have to be rushed or done in any certain amount of time. I just had to get it right, you know?” Helping Herbert to get it right in these last few years has been Peter Renzullo, a multi-talented musician, producer, and director.
The pair met through mutual musical friends, initially collaborating on the tracks Cheat Codes and For the Love. The chemistry was immediate, and it led to an ongoing collaboration at Renzullo’s Scudley Records studio, as Herbert developed songs on vocals and guitar and let Renzullo run wild with his ideas.
One of those ideas being a video concept that evolved into a feature film. Anticipation, released in 2019, stars Herbert as Lenny, the lead protagonist and features several Beautiful Cartel songs on the soundtrack. The film and this Herbert’s debut album are intrinsically linked. “Without me in there doing the album we wouldn’t have ended up doing the film,” he says. “One would not have happened without the other.”
From the feature film to the new album (and plans for more) this commitment to artistry reflects the diversity and consistency that Herbert craves. “Exactly,” he says “Why can’t we mix things together? It’s creativity – that’s what I’m into. I just see it all as flavours.” And indeed, there are many. Sharing a space in the feature film and on Frisson is the exquisitely emotional track, Goddess. “The sweetest song I’ve ever written is about nobody,” he laughs.
In the film Lenny writes a song for Freya, a barmaid he has fallen head over heels for, but his nemesis Mick lies about their relationship and warns him off her. “He never shows her the song and love never blossoms,” Herbert explains. “The movie took some different turns like that, but I’m still glad because it’s one of the nicest songs I’ve written in my life, and I hope that there might be some women who could possibly find some empowerment in it.”
