    Check out the other 2 albums: 'Sorry To Keep You Waiting' and 'Eureka! Live at the Stockade'.
    The band still performs occasionally and can be contacted through myself, Mark Leehy: 03 9752 6502; mark@bushfirepress.com
    Kev and Mark now run Bushfire Press (www.bushfirepress.com), a music education resource publishing company, and Rob Fairbairn is one of the chief Bushfire writers. Greg works with the Lightning Creek Band and tunes pianos ... and Athalie & Judy are busy with the Melbourne Scottish Fiddle Club, the Whitehorse Orchestra and Old Dogs New Tricks.
    Cheers - Mark
