Galleons Lap are an ideal example of the inspired music that Brisbane has been generating in recent years. A four-piece original outfit, Galleons Lap blend innovative songwriting with classic, measured musicianship, and the result is a blend of roots and folk which you are unlikely to forget.
Over the years, Galleons Lap have supported wonderful artists such as Loren, Bertie Blackman, Palladium, Paul Greene, The Boat People, Gorgeous, the Go Betweens, Emma Dean, Dappled Cities Fly, Asa Broomhall, The Devoted Few, and many more.
2007 finds Galleons Lap with a self-titled EP which beautifully reflects style of the current line-up. The recording depicts a Galleons Lap rooted firmly in the folk past, yet pointing toward the future with absolute conviction. Lovers are urged to check out the newest confessions of these great players.

Thanks Andy, that's ever so poetic of you! Anybody would think you were a songwriter. Ridiculous. I had a grand old time, such lovely people wherever I turned! And of course you and Emma were fantastic - you've got mad skills on the old piani young man. Come down to the Wesley Anne tonight! All the frilly knickers you could ever want!

word's starting to get around; la plaz is a good place to hang out friday night for laid back music and a 3 hour happy hour. the venue looks after the musicians and pays them well. the musicians appreciate it and spread the word. everyone's a winner. cheap drinks, good food, friday night cheer.
Brother MD and Sister ML are gearing up for a twin CD release very soon so they have plenty of material to share. come and hear Jesus the Arrogant Rebel Jew, the new song everyone seems to be talking about as well as heaps of other newies and old faves.
"Helmeted Honey Eater" is one of the best songs out there. It is one of my personal favorites. Glad to see you have put it back up on the j's for others to enjoy!
