All of the songs in the second hour of today’s show are Australian, except for the seasonal ‘The Bleak Midwinter’ from Irish singer-songwriter Lisa O’Neill’s excellent new EP. The Australian artists range from the legendary Paul Kelly to a brand-new alt-folk singer-songwriter from Boorloo/Perth.

  • Fury (نیلوفر آبی) – Parissa Tosif
  • Happy Birthday, Ada Mae – Paul Kelly
  • Blood in the Water – Amy Vee
  • Hard Times – Carus Thompson
  • Last Chips in the Packet – sleepy soph
