 Quill TolhurstGreg Quill and Kerryn Tolhurst, founding members of the seminal Australian country rock bands Country Radio and The Dingoes, and writers of such enduring songs as “Gypsy Queen”, “Way Out West” and “Wintersong”, recently reunited after 30 years to write and produce a set of original new songs, recorded in New York City, Australia and Toronto.
In March and April, 2003, they performed at a series of folk festival and roots music concerts in their homeland — their first
appearances together in Australia since 1975, and a celebration of the Australian release of their new CD, "So Rudely Interrupted", which was launched in Canada Sept. 16 on True North Records, one of North America’s most prestigious independent labels.
The new material bears all the trademarks of their unique past collaborations – evocative lyrics, powerful vocals, ringing guitars, and masterful flourishes of dobro, lap steel and mandolin.
QUILL TOLHURST be joined in the CD release concert at Nia @ C’est What? Oct. 23 by Canadian music legend GARTH HUDSON (accordion), and an all-star band including Mitchell Lewis (guitars), Dennis Pinhorn (bass), Bucky Berger (drums) and Anne Lindsay (fiddle).
