BARRY LEEF
After starting out in local bands in his hometown of Blenheim- NZ, Barry moved to Wellington-NZ and formed a band called ‘Simple Image’ which after two years on the road managed to reach #1 on the charts with a song called “Spinning Spinning Spinning”.
Moved to Sydney-Australia working in Clubs, Festivals, and touring the country with legendary bands Bakery, Supermarket, and eventually formed the Barry Leef Band which became the in-house band at The Sydney Musicians Club.
Barry soon became involved in studio work and became one of Sydney’s best-known voices, having been featured on hundreds of TV and Radio advertisements over three decades and during this time represented Australia performing in many song and music festivals around the world.
He has performed with Frank Zappa, Elvin Bishop, Tom Jones George Duke, and Jeff ‘Skunk’ Baxter to name a few.
PETER NORTHCOTE
You may or may not know Pete Northcote……but you certainly have heard him!
WINNER OF THE 2007 MUSICOZ “BEST INSTRUMENTALIST” AWARD.
Arguably the most recorded guitarist in Australian history, IN PETE NORTHCOTE’S SPACE…NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM!
Turn on the TV and he plays on 90% of the ads you see and hear.
Pick your favourite show and there’s a good chance he’s played guitar or written the music.
Peter can also be hear in the house band on channel 7’s Weekend Sunrise every week.
Although somewhat virtuosic, Pete’s music is not your typical ‘widdly widdly’ guitar instrumental. Nor is it the same blues licks you’ve heard guitarists emulate since Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Accessible, melodic, fun and fresh. exciting, assaulting and emotional. Peter’s music will have you tapping into some deep emotional, spiritual and sensual areas of your being whilst at times have you giggling inside at some more than familiar circumstances.
Pete is still happy to make other people famous, but his live shows will have you wondering why he hadn’t done this sooner.
