Played at my favourite live music venue, The Hopetoun, my recent favourite song title ‘John She Was Never Only Dancing’ by Sydney singer-songwriter Fergus Brown:
Fergus has just released his debut album, with the almost-too-witty title ‘Burgers Frown’. He’s touring all over the place in the coming weeks and months (details on his Myspace), and [...]
