cover notes....

In 2020, along with the rest of Melbourne’s music makers, Belmar Records was forced to suspend operations due to the Covid 19 lockdown. We have taken the opportunity to go back through the vaults and dig out some rare and unreleased gems. This collection of tracks all fall somewhere in the cracks between Rhythm & Blues and Soul. This is Grubby Rhythm and Soul vol. 1.

releases April 14, 2021 (pre release now available)

On these tracks the band is the Belmar House Band, a floating line up usual featuring (unless otherwise stated) GG Gray (drums & percussion) Dave Allardice (piano, keys) Dai “Jukebox” Jones (guitar) and Steve Purcell (electric and acoustic bass) Variations in personal and extra guests are included in the track details.
