3BBR was delighted to record iconic pianist, composer and activist David Bridie (My Friend The Chocolate Cake / Not Drowning, Waving) at Wesley of Warragul on 28 May 2023.
3BBR is giving a repeat broadcast of this concert in two parts on Gippsland Live, our weekly showcase of local live performance. Tune in on Wednesday 11th & 18th October 2023 from 8pm to hear the whole performance (Gippsland Live is now repeated on Friday afternoons at 2pm).
As we’d hoped, David gave a warm and intimate performance from the piano, in a retrospective of his often restrained and thoughtful songs from throughout his career. He subtly embellished his songs and stories with wild sound or gentle sampled beats, while electric guitarist Rosie Excess drew on his broad sonic palette of often cello-like and plaintive sounds.
