In 1932, Australia was a different place. It was the middle of the Great Depression, jobs were scarce, and money was tight.
Still, we had a few things to look forward to as it was the year the Sydney Harbour Bridge was being opened after eight long, expensive years.
Our heroes were Don Bradman, Phar Lap, and a nine-year-old boy from Leongatha in South Eastern Victoria named Lennie Gwyther.
Lennie made headlines all over the country when he rode his pony solo, 1200 miles return, to watch the opening of the bridge. Along the way he won the hearts of Australians everywhere. ‘Lennie You’re A Legend’ celebrates Lennie’s story.
Golden Guitar winning singer/songwriter Matt Scullion loves Australia, and his forthcoming album ‘Nation Of Abbreviation’ certainly reflects his passion for our sleeping stories and larger than life characters.
Written over many dusty road trips and recorded in his recently built home studio in Glencoe NSW, Matt took a giant leap of faith playing most of the instruments and producing it himself.
But then again, Matt’s always been a songwriter in demand, having his songs recorded by the likes of Lee Kernaghan, Tania Kernaghan, Adam Harvey, Travis Collins, Amber Lawrence, and even legendary rockers Cold Chisel. Twenty-Six of those going to the top spot on the charts.
