And so the tables are turned.

If you were to give advice to a large group of people, what would it be?

‘It’s about the bigger picture. You think that the world is your little bubble but take a bird’s eye view of where you’re at. My dad actually told me that you picture your situation and then you zoom the camera out a bit and you take in the suburb you’re in and then you zoom out and take in the state and then you take in the country. It puts your experience in to perspective because there is a lot going on outside of where you are that’s also important.’

Thanks to the lovely Jo from ABCTV for this morning’s interview (her’s and mine) and a lovely hug!

‘Greg, the redhead, bought a sousaphone so then we decided to make it an official band. People were loving it so then we kept going and started getting offers for gigs. We’re lucky now, we’ve got a bit of a following especially for the busking thing. We can start huge dance parties in the street. It’s awesome – we love it!’

What’s one of the best things that’s happened while you’ve been busking?

‘We were marching down Crown Street in Surry Hills. A lot of the pubs there are double story and people were throwing money off the top. We had our girlfriends there with buckets catching the money. A guy gave us a $100 note once too. That was pretty cool.’

‘My friends were surprised to hear me sing because they didn’t know I could sing really. I’ve been playing guitar for the past seven years – since I was seven. I only started singing just a few months ago though. I’d sung just a bit around the house because my dad plays bass and my mum plays guitar so we always play together. I’ve heard that it’s 90% confidence or something and I think if you can get past that, anyone can really sing.‘I’ve got a bunch of songs written and have recorded two of them so hopefully I’ll finish that off soon and release an EP. I’ve also uploaded one of my songs on Triple J Unearthed High. It’s called ‘But then you find life.’

‘The hardest part of breaking in to the industry is getting originals gigs rather than just playing covers. I had my first gig last week at a restaurant in Glebe. I’d be happy with any gig really – nothing too crazy.’

What do you love most about music?

‘Everyone plays it differently so it’s always going to be something unique.’
