Listening to Neil Murray


We went to a friend's bush block outside Buninyong for an informal concert. I've never heard Neil Murray except on the radio. I thought he would be good, and he was better. 
I heard the songs I love and a few new ones, especially Burrumbeeep Hill which I'm now singing myself over and over. 
Here's Neil's website where you can listen to Burrumbeep Hill too. 
Someone told me  he is a Lake Bolac boy. That makes him really local. Wikipedia has a bit of a personal and musical bio here.




This isn't a picture of Burrumbeep Hill, but it's similar country, just around Ararat.

Hi Suzanna, I'm glad the link worked! The video is a little manic, but the song is lovely and so is Burrumbeep Hill.

You lucky thing!
He wrote one of my favourite songs:
Black Fella, White Fella - do you know that one?
Co-written and sung by the Warumpi Band.

Yes love that song! I pottered around on Youtube and found the Warumpi Band singing it in the early 80s, and lots of other good music.
