A 10 pound pom; the Lockdown blues and great live music (30mins 35 seconds)

Two Natural Ladies talk with Peter Jackson, creator of the band Jackson Combo. 

He starts our interview by telling us he likes Avocado and is fully Grey (proving he’d been listening to our show leading up to his interview 😊)

We find out his colourful musical background with his dad in London at the night clubs in Soho and then his own adventures once they moved to Australia

Peter began playing in pubs at 16. Performing at night and school during the day. He shared the shock of moving from -3 degrees in London, to 48 degrees in Geelong. 

Peter loves what he does and has been told he can’t be a ‘real’ musician as he has too much fun – he’s the right kind of man for the Two Natural Ladies! Peter loves to chat with his audience and Jo & Vicki and Peter discuss the importance of interaction and connection. 

The Jackson Combos last live performance before lockdown was at the cancelled Grand Prix in Melbourne. They were playing to an audience ‘crying in their beers’ – not their favourite gig but certainly memorable. Vicki and Jo discuss with Peter his band members and their individual talents as well as the Two Natural Ladies becoming groupies!

As many people did, The Jackson Combo became inventive during Co-vid but unfortunately many venues that closed will never reopen. WE need to support live music. To finish the interview with Peter he shares his wonderful adventures in New Orleans and his beloved song - include here – The Congo Square. 

This is a wonderful interview full of warmth, fun and laughter.
