New addition to our line-up

We're very excited to welcome our good mate Caroline Frawley to the Trouble line-up.  Caroline is a fantastic button accordion player who has settled in Melbourne from Kilkee in Co Clare, and has been a regular partner in crime on the Melbourne session scene for the past two years.  She made her first appearance with Trouble at 'Don't Tell Tom' (formerly The Big House) in Brunswick in November 2005.

Fellowship award for Ben and Ado

The Trouble tunesters have been selected from a wide field of applicants as winners of the 2006 National Folk Fellowship, jointly sponsored by the National Library of Australia and the National Folk Festival.  They will use the Fellowship, which provides a four week residency in the Oral History and Folklore collection of the NLA, to research the collected history of Irish music in Australia and record an album of the material that they discover.  In addition to providing research and recording facilities at the library, the Fellowship also includes a showcase performance at the National Folk Festival in April 2006 were the album will be launched.

Speaking of recordings...

We're currently in preparation to record a new (and well overdue!) Trouble album.  Gigs throughout the new year will bed down our new material, and the CD will be released in Winter '06.  Add your name to our mailing list to get details of the release as it happens. Oct 2005
