Hey!
Greetings all, firstly, thanks for dropping by, listening and taking the time to comment. I am currently collating an all Australian artists play list. I believe in many cases, the artists don’t get the exposure their talent warrants so I’ll do my bit to try and rectify that. Neither lists are definitive, so all requests are welcomed. Also, any feed back is highly appreciated.
