EASYBEATS AGAIN I had a letter this week

t rom M ike Vaucban, the E&sybeats' manag .. r . As yOU will have no doubt read 1n the last copies or Go-Set, then: is qulte a bit to c1o about lhe Ea.sybeat., knock• ina; Australia. Mike tells me that this ls, 1n fa.ct, ln· correct. Unfortunately, Aus­tralian publications have re­ceived a precise version or commenta made to an Eng 1.Lsh ~oumall5t.

I will prnent lbe cue dlrttt f r om the Easybeab In London. I don't think the EasyheaLs would be so sill; aa to completely disreprd their Auslra.lian 5Ucce51, U al ter ali thei r talent wu c reatE!d In Austra.lla.

Althou1h none of them waa born In Australia, Dick Diamond ls a naluraUsed Aualralian and S t e v I e Wrlstt 'a ratbu b a t the moment ft1htin1 wi th the Auatrallan fort'ff in VH!tnam .

Apart from these ~rsonal f&et.s, the boys are quite ready to regard Australia as thei r home and cveryWher.i they ?W.ve appeared over• seas the~ have been billed as Austn Ua's E&sybeat.s whJch ls surely enou&h lo verify their loyalty to Aus­t ralian fans. Thla week I s pok11 '° tbe:m on Lhe phone and they were terribly upad to IJunk lb.at anyune hi Aid-

t ralia thou1ht they would llof:ll them out ltO cheaply.

t'ersonalJy, I am tremen• dously pleased that I.he F.alSybeats ha~-e made the &TIide in London and I wish them success. They are all extremely personable young men and I am sure that the thoughts ol their rans ue foremost in th~l r minds.

A\JSSIE FESTIVAL? Austraua's Lsolatlon Is a

probltm in many fields . n therefore means thAt we have to attract people to our country. Thi• cauac• :ne \0 throw ln tbe Idea lbat Aus­lralla • hould M"rlou1ly thlnt or runnlnc a 1ona restlval u do many European countries

The usua• pracll~ Is thaL eac:h country selects a J)&I" Uc:ular artist, or Group, that Is available at the time, to perform a locally written A0."11 at the feslival .

Q, Lk'ttne what your play• in,t R O\!.·?

It 's Just music. you car. ·1 define a reeling . .. It's s imply blues orientated music. 1 ·m led up with tryi.n i; to de­scribe It because you can' t .

Q. What an· th(' inHurnc:r11 on t hl' 11turf you r pla) inr;'!

Now It stems from the m:xtem guys. James Brown. 0 t I s Redding, Solomon Burke. Rufus Thomas, Sam and Da,·e. Not particularly these guys as singers. but their choice ot llUl.lerlal.

Q. The music you played the other nirhl 50und,d to me incredibly bitter and ,•lclous: Is this a fair dt'• acription?

I think It is the music that has become much mutt ag· greS.Sl\re t.'ian it was, we usually play much more sublly. We're hopin1, by writing our own tunes, and arranging to gel our own sound, we're alSo tf'}'in.G to make a ftnanclai success as well as a blues suooess, that's why we're IOOklnG at the pop spade singers.

Q. How do you think your music b as bttn c:hanclnc onr the laat few montha'!

w e·re becomln& mor e united . . we're all de \·elop­lna as mu.slc:lans.

Q. Huw did you ret on lo bluH'!

It startf'd when I was tour, I had my voice trained betwe<!n the 11ge or four and eight, It's uery funny how many of the s:ood spade slnG;crs started sing:ing In a church choir. at the aie or eli,:ht , I turned professional singtne at weddings and functions so that I could de­vel?p stage confidence ... I got sic:k or th,s Md turned to clubs at the aae or thir• teen. But I tuu:l to wait tlll my voice broke and do six months' re • trainintc. I worked clubs till 1 wo.s eighteen and got sick of Lh~m. The first tnlroduclion to the blues was when I didn't even know what thev were. I walllf'd Into the fol k aUlc une nlcht and heard Ray llurr an.I J ohn Blakr . hl1 babll player, were haf"ln,: a blow . . . aftu wor llinc Cl;.tbll for so Ion, Im' Hnl read lon WH ··rtt, tht'y'n workU'lc toCt" lhf' r - ·e ll with• out cllarts ...

I was walling a way a bit ln the com er and Hoff asked me to ha,•e a blow. There
