“I’m a firm believer in learning from listening to recordings and staying away from written music,” he said.

Saturday night’s concert was the most popular event of the weekend, with more than 100 people in attendance.

The concert featured Margaret River band Doug and Cletus, Jeremy Marcotte and the New Macedon Rangers, Small and Watkins.
