Any list of awesome Aussies should include Anni Piper. An outstanding bassist in her own right, she's an authentic roots blues rocker that possesses a voice to die for. It has even been touted that an appropriate compliment would be that she sounds 100% American! Anni remembers with clarity the first time she heard the blues back in her school days. “It was Paul Butterfield Blues Band playing ‘Born in Chicago’ - I knew straight away that this was the direction I was heading.” she says.

Describing themselves as a leading force in Australian rhythm and blues, the Cigars have been playing tight, hard-driving and down to earth R&B since their founding in 1989. The band line-up includes co-founders Shane Pacey (vocals and guitar) and Alan Britton (bass and vocals), together with long-standing members Eben Hale (guitar and vocals) and Frank Corby (drums). The Bondi Cigars have been honoured with many blues and roots awards.

Cream was a 1960s three-piece British band consisting of bassist/lead vocalist Jack Bruce, guitarist/vocalist Eric Clapton, and drummer Ginger Baker, having formed in London, England. They were known as one of the first great power trios and supergroups of rock. Their sound was characterised by a hybrid of blues, hard rock and psychedelic rock. Cream combined Clapton's blues guitar playing with the powerful and airy voice and intense bass lines of Jack Bruce and the manic drumming of Ginger Baker.
