Two Bit Pony

Slim and son Sam debut as Two Bit Pony. We’ll share the repertoire 50/50 and glue it all together with the solid rythm of Reinhart and his doghouse bass fiddle. Despite Sam’s foreys into musical styles such as techno, he has been reared listening to a lot of roots music favoured by Slim, and is more than at home with it, often lending distinctive flavour to his intepretations. Indeed, Sam is very much the firey showman and uses Slim’s old song books for much of his older material. Combined with Slim’s more down-home laid back approach, it should be an interesting dynamic. Good for father/son bonding if nothing else.

And if you're into paella, Ba Ba Lu is the best place to find it this side of Spain.

Father & Son to join forces

Slim and son Sam played an impromtpu gig at Ba Ba Lu in Lorne for a final-night party for the local School Production sell-out stage extravaganza.

It was so well received that the proprietor wants Slim to come back with Sam who's been doing solo gigs there on Sunday nights.

Sam is an accomplished performer in his own right, with a string of gritty original compositions to his name.  read more »
