ROSS WRITES IN HIS BLOG " November 2015 has somehow become the time when everything I've done seems to be converging. Solo gigs around Melbourne flow into a huge show for Mondo Rock Nov 7 (One Electric Day, Werribee Park) followed by a set with Daddy Cool at The Age/Music Victoria Awards Nov 19 as part of our induction into the Music Victoria Hall Of Fame.  
There is also the Warner Music release of a double CD '(When The Sun Sets Over) Carlton' featuring lots of music I either produced, published or performed in the exploding Melbourne music scene of the early to mid 70s.  In conjuction with all this activity I've been doing a lot of media interviews.  
Don't miss the opportunity to see Ross Wilson at Lizotte's Newcastle Friday Jan 2 and at Dee Why, Sat Jan.3 2015. Book Now.

"I still keep in touch with the Bandstand family. I guess I talk to most of them. When I talk about Sandy Scott, Little Pattie and Judy Stone and Brian Henderson , I speak to them probably once or twice a week. It's still a family. That family thing is still there.

Earth's ascent, accompanied by abstract bird shapes in an imaginary landscape, serves as an exploration into the uncharted territories of artistic expression. This piece is an invitation to contemplate the interconnectedness of the tangible and the intangible, encouraging a deeper dive into the boundless realms of imagination.
