While at Woodford Folk Festival, Phil Perez had a quick chat with a few of the performers at the festival. First up, the always wonderful, Sydney based musician Andy Bull.

Last weekend I was reunited with Gosford for the first time in several years. When we first met back in 2009, we didn’t get along so well. A guy jumped the train tracks and fence in an attempt to steal my friend’s Subway, boys who looked about 12 made crude comments, and a hobo stood two metres away screaming at seemingly nothing. This time was different however, as I kicked back for the weekend and soaked up the highly intense sun at Coaster Festival.

Sydney’s Andy Bull has achieved quite a lot of recognition through the release of The Phantom Pains EP last year, but it is only now that he has been able to head out on his own headlining tour to support it. After months of performing some impressive support acts for both international and local touring artists, Bull’s experience as a live performer was brought to Adelaide for the second time this year and didn’t fail to impress.

On his first headline tour of the year, Andy Bull brings his 'Phantom Pains' tour to Sydney with Spring Skier!

Andy Bull is finally embarking on his first tour in support of his most recent release The Phantom Pains EP. Although it has been on shelves for just shy of a year, his prolific touring schedule alongside the cream of national and international acts has meant that it is only now, that this ‘songwriter’s songwriter’ has had the opportunity to take to the stage as the headlining act.

It was lucky that Joshua Radin was keen to come back to Australia with his The Rock and The Tide tour. In 2009, his Simple Times Melbourne show was taken hostage by tonsillitis. This time around he was determined to make up for it.

FBi Radio are an imperative cog in Sydney's music scene. They facilitate great new bands, broadcast brilliant music, and hold rocking parties. Sydney Sounds Like: Choose Your Own Adventure, at the Factory Theatre in Sydney this Saturday, was a prime example of one of these gigs.

US singer/songwriter Joshua Radin brought his heartfelt folk pop to the Enmore Theatre. Support was Sydney's very own Andy Bull and first time Australian performance for Jim Bianco.

Hungry Kids of Hungary have been travelling the country on their Final Escapades tour for the last month with The Chemist, Andy Bull and in capital cities Daniel Lee Kendall. They wrapped it all up last night in front of a home town in Brisbane.
