All Our Friends Were Stars 2020.

 We have this album out at the moment.

Dave Graney and Clare More with Georgio "the dove" Valentino and Malcolm Ross. I made this clip from photos and video of the European tour the recordings originated from.


Below is an update on the songs we have played for the roughly 31 Stage It Online sets we have done so far. We try and do a different set each week but sometimes we really enjoy revisiting a song and so play it two weeks in a  row.

We have used guitars, keys, vibes, autoharp, melodica , some archival and also newly recorded rhythm tracks, our vintage Rhythm Ace drum machine, our voices and drums.

It took a  few weeks to get ourselves into the right tech areas but once we got NBN happening and the upload speed was right and then a proper audio interface and external camera, it all became a lot easier.

We play every Thursday at 8pm and every second Sunday at 7am . The latter is to make it a  10 pm Saturday night Greenwich time show and early to late afternoon in the USA. 

Doing these shows has given us some focus for our weeks and also a form of contact with people. (The shows are surprisingly social with the chat area). 

Out 32nd Show is 8pm AEST Thursday September 10th. Here is a ticket link.

Our next Saturday night Greenwich time/ Sunday morning Melbourne time show is September 13th. Here is a ticket link.
