   About Robbie Long
Rob is the current Australian Flatpicking Guitar Champion (Tamworth 2008)


"...undoubtedly one the country's finest flatpickers..."

Rhythms Magazine, March 2008

Guitarist Robbie Long is a multi-instrumentalist who has covered miles of styles in his weird & wonderful career. He has been a ‘working man’s musician’ since leaving school, walking the boards with countless acts on stages and in studios over the past twenty years in Australia, New Zealand and Europe and Ireland. Although Rob has jazz/rock foundations, he has gathered tools from a spectrum of musical genres through his musical journeys, adding spice and depth to his playing.

As well as playing solo, Rob with a mixed bag of diverse acts including bluegrass/newgrass band ‘The Lawnmowers’, singer-songwriter Kate Fagan, bassist/vocalist Liz Frencham, and master of madness Mic Conway. He has also worked with festival acts such as Totally Gourdgeous, Gilly Darbey, Waiting for Guinness and Glenys Rae Virus.

Rob has performed at many of Australia’s major festivals, including Woodford, The National Folk Festival, Port Fairy, Illawarra Folk Fest, and Tamworth. His band The Lawnmowers was featured on The Daily Planet on Radio National 2007. The Lawnmowers also recorded tracks for the film 'Australia'. A respected Australian guitarist, he has also performed onstage with a host of legendary Aussie guitar pickers, including Rod McCormack, Phil Emmanuel, Micheal Fix, Bruce Mathiske, Nick Charles and Lloyd Spiegel.
