See Hear Podcast episode 44 - Interview with Chris Franklin, director of "Chris Wilson: Live At The Continental"

Hello everybody…….See Hear episode 44 here….. Every music scene has
its local heroes….those musicians who are a well-kept secret from
the rest of the world, but gig goers wish more people knew about
them. Melbourne film-maker Chris Franklin has made it his mission
to document musicians in his local scene. Bernard was absent, but
Tim and Maurice invited Chris to talk about his latest short film
in adherence to that mission, “Chris Wilson – Live At The
Continental”.  Melbourne musicians Chris Wilson and Shane
O’Mara along with pianist Jex Saarelaht released a beloved album in
1994 called “Live At The Continental”. (The Continental Café’ was a
favourite haunt for the best local and international songwriters
and musicians). Franklin shows Chris and Shane recalling the
circumstances behind that album, but ended up putting together
something more broad and substantial. Even if you don’t know who
they are, their commonality to any musician is the great art that
is created when honesty, humour and trust overrides commercial
success for its own sake. Every city around the world that
celebrates its local musicians has its own Chris and Shane. Tim and
Maurice were extremely grateful to have Chris Franklin take the
time to talk about this wonderful short film, and hope you find the
conversation enjoyable. You can download the show by searching for
