If you live in Ali-Curang you probably know that there is a great band regularly meeting and playing bluegrass and gospel music and that they are based at the Ali-Curung Gospel Church.
This morning we met with band members including Lenny Nelson (above), Jock Riley, Jimmy Friday, Peggy Small and Margaret Small. It was the band's first recording session. There was a fair bit of equipment to organise and we had to rig up a few blankets to block out the bright sunshine to make sure there wasn't too much light for the video. We were really pleased to be working with Lenny particularly as we had already met and spoken with his father, Mr Nelson and his sister Valerie who works and paints at the Art Centre.
Jock got dressed up for the occasion - you can see he looks pretty deadly!

The band got some good rhythms going and the recording session started. We had an unexpected audience when some family members arrived and the grandchildren snuck in -nobody can resist a good beat.
