   About Delightful Rain

"Delightful Rain" is a celebration of Australian surf music and our beach culture over the last five decades.

Filmed and recorded between May 13th and 27th 2006, in the Freshwater Surf Life Saving Club, right on the beach at Harbord on Sydney’s North Shore, and looking out over the water where in 1915 Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku introduced surfing to Australia, this was a unique recording project.

"Delightful Rain" gathered together some of Australia’s greatest ever surf music artists to record material, old and new, and to tell their stories and to celebrate the journey of Australian surf music.

Produced by Kerryn Tolhurst and recorded by Mick Wordley, the Freshwater sessions included The Atlantics, Les Green from The Denvermen, Richard Clapton, Robbie Hirst and Martin Rotsey of Midnight Oil fame with Backsliders’ Dom Turner, Tamam Shud, Pete Howe, Tim Gaze, Celibate Rifles, GANGgajang, Cruel Sea founder Dan Rumour and his band, The Pigram Brothers, Beau Young and Andrew Kidman.

Surf music rolled across the Pacific from California and onto Australian shores in the early 60s. About the same time, the stinging Stratocaster sound of Hank B Marvin and The Shadows was also taking hold.

This collision was to have a powerful and lasting effect on Australia.

A short time later, home-grown bands like The Atlantics, The Denvermen and a host of other local surf club bands created a distinctly Australian interpretation of that sound.

A style of music, mostly instrumental, was born that was to become the soundtrack for the lives of generation after generation of Australians.

In November / December 2007 a number of Delightful Rain artists, including The Atlantics, Dan Rumour & the Drift, Richard Clapton & The Pigram Brothers played at the Adelaide International Guitar Festival. Pictures from the event are below.

Hi Delightful Rain... Thanks for the ADD... It is nice to cyber meet you :) I am just popping by to say hello. Have a good week!!!

BTW if you have a few minutes ... Here is a drum solo I did the other day. I hope you enjoy it! It was just a bit of fun. My ride cymbal flops around all over the place and I lose a stick at the end but that is all part of it.

Catch you round!

The Dream of Music
By Sonia F Stevens©2001-2008

From childhood we all have music within us.

Dream of music to fill our lives'

Dream of music to fill our soul

Dream of Music of all varieties.

When we grow we all feel they rhythms of music within our life

Sadly most of forget how music filled our lives as we all tend to grow up and out of music.

The Dreamers keep all aspects of the music.

To others they follow the general flow and go to show the substance is a cash flow.

The Dream of music has been hidden.

Because of our families, we are all driven to go with societies flow.


No matter how it goes.

The dreams of music is never forgotten

Put in a cupboard of mind

And pressured to conform.

The Real dreamers are never forgotten. Their lives are filled with passion, Imagination and regeneration of music.

The note are formed

The keys are heard


The words are written and all is put together.


In heart, this music flows. To reach your ears, your body, your soul. The music has vibrations that will always grow within you. It matches your vibrations and then it reaches deep within you, you become apart of music and music becomes a part of you.
The Music, just like you, grows.


Man knows that music comes from deep within.

For Music dreamers have been around on from the beginning of time, right up till this very day.

Music Of dreams will always become a part of everyone's heart. This is where every woman, child and man knows', that this is part of everyone's dream. This is where Music and Dreams become one.

Each person feels the music, his or her own way. Each person feels the belonging of music. Each being feels.
This is where music really grows.
