Band MembersEssentially I am a solo artist. But as Oliver Stone once said "being a great director is not about 'being a great director'. It's about working with great people" (well I am not sure of the exact quote but you get the gist of it) .. and work with 'great people' is what I have done. These 'great people' include: Ben Tolliday (bass/cello/loops/production), Richard Johnston (drums, backing vocals, vibe), Greg Cathcart (glockenspiel, piano, guitar, recorder, production), Luke Foran (backing vocals), Chris Pickering (drums), Emerson Bavinton (production), Adrian Mauro (trumpet), Rae Howell (melophone)...
InfluencesDarren Hanlon, Bob Dylan, Art of Fighting, Gersey, Coldplay, Counting Crows, The Beatles, Bob Evans, The Thrills, Tamas Wells, REM, Radiohead, Augie March, Ed Harcourt, Sarah Blasco, The Shins, The Verve, The Kinks, Damien Rice, Jewel, The Who, Burt Bacharach, Grandaddy, Speedstar, The Sleepy Jackson, The Eels, Greg Cathcart, The Frames and many many more...

   About kelt
I write the songs that make the whole world sing. I write the songs of love and special ... no wait that's not me... that's Barry Manilow. Well I do write songs though. and maybe they don't make the whole world sing, but I know that I have made at least one young girl cry.. and not just because her cat had recently died. I am very proud of the songs that I have written, but as for my bio... well it's nothing special. Put simply... I write songs. When pressed for a description of my songs, my response is often 'suburban-folk'. I write songs about the little things and the bigger things. I write about life. I write about planes and jumping out of them. I write about small seeds. I write about tall trees. I write about standing on bindi and sleeping on clover. I write about clouds and raincoats and rainy days. I write about trams. I write about trains. I write about walking shoes. I write about Dr Suess novels and the fear of using public toilets. I write about inventors and explorers and that old t-shirt of yours that you just can't bring yourself to throw away... I'm always looking for a new point of view and a new song to write. I record these songs in the hope that people will enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoy writing them. Well I think that covers it.

Dude you have been beat! I have known you for 20 years but I just found someone who I have known for 25 years when I lived in Mt Isa. Oh and she loves your music! Crazy still that I have known you for 20 years. Cool stuff.

dear kelt,

I think it went something like this..

Verrrry long time, no write!

Something something something.

I've been listening to your album a fair bit lately and have truly fallen in love with the magic of 'Corner Store'. It's a gem :)

Hope you're doing well over in Japan and that the gigs are great.

Am xo.
