Due to computer troubles and a momentary lapse of attention in January 08, I lost all the email addresses (and email) I've collected over the past year and a half... dang! I thought I was backing it up... turns out I wasn't. Lesson learnt. So if you haven't had an eMal update for a while, let me know, love, Mal

Thursday December 17, 6:30-8pm (yep, rather early), Mal Webb performs at 303, 303 High St. Northcote, Vic, Australia. Voice guitar slide trumpet, trombone, chromatic harmonica, mbira, Derek and Dolly, the twin Headrush Loop Recorders and the Bubblewrap Stompbox combine with the Buffy Tin, the Bikkies, the Carrots and the fabulous free entry/paid exit system, as per the Melody Menu. http://www.303.net.au

Dec 27-Jan 2, 2010, at Woodford Festival, Woodford, Queensland, Australia. http://www.woodfordfolkfestival.com/
I won't be in the program due to my having been programmed so many years in a row, but Bill, the boss, really wanted me there, so they're employing me just to be there and do whatever gigs and sit ins I want (and a few specific things like a fanfare for the opening ceremony, etc). Opening and closing night of the Chai tent for sure and I may have a few other gigs lined up, so make sure you're on my email list to find out where and when they're going to be. I'm currently pinned down to play with The Borderers, Brides of Groove and Rhythm Hunters and there'll be sit ins galore, for sure... yay!

   About Mal Webb
G'day there, thanks for visiting.
If you want to be kept informed about my gigs in your area, get on my email list via http://www.malwebb.com ... tis easy.
Hope you dig it. Onya, thine a warbling, Mal


I've got a few clips up on YouTube.com and there's selection of them below.

And here's a bit of a blurb:
Vocal adventuring, multi-instrumental songwriter. Ballads, beatbox and beyond. A jolly jaw dropping journeyman. Eclectic, ebullient and even educational. Mal Webb uses a world of vocal techniques and writing styles and plays guitar, mbira, slide trumpet, chromatic harmonica, a loop recording pedal called Derek and the audience... a lot. A founding member of the Oxo Cubans, Sock and Totally Gourdgeous, he plays sometimes with The Cat Empire and Bomba and did the music for the Lano and Woodley TV show and Wogs Out of Work. Mal played mbira and sang "Eagle Rock" with Ross Wilson on John Safran's Music Jamboree on SBS. Ani DiFranco said "You're a freak!" after Mal played support for her. Mal has spent a lot of time mucking about.

Hi Mal,
I imagine you work very hard to do what you do - but add together talent, wit, a voice that knows no limit, FUN, knowledge and generosity to share it; take away boring, and all the stuff we've seen before, make it look so easy and then bring it to the Rhythm Hut at Gosford  ... yay yay yay!

In a review of more than 51 studies involving more than 294,000 children it was found there was "no evidence that injecting children 6-24 months of age with a flu shotwas any more effective than placebo. In children over 2 yrs, it was only effective 33% of the time in preventing the flu.

‘Awesome music. Your stuff is really incredible’ (Tommy Emmanuel).
In this flamenco duo, Orlando performs his all original flamenco guitar compositions on the the guitar of his dreams, made in 1973 by Faustino Conde, Paco De Lucia's Luthier, accompanied by Michael Kontachristos on the cajon flamenco drum. A night of infectious gypsy flamenco by two of Melbourne's internationally recognised flamenco artists.
