Lindsay 'Waddo' Waddington Guitarist to Hunter Valley Singer|Songwriter Melissa Bajric
A chance discussion with LBS Music producer Lindsay Butler, changed the course of touring arrangements for Hunter Valley singer|songwriter Melissa Bajric.
While having dinner with Lindsay and Shaza one evening a few months back, Lindsay made the comment that Melissa really should have her own guitarist for gigs, appearances and interstate touring, suggesting that she look for someone who knew her work.
Melissa's management also agreed, considering that although many of the bands at shows are exceptionally good, it's rare that they'd know any of Melissa's material, so consequently she would tend to primarily do covers.
They added 'Lindsay's belief is that she needs to and deserves to be able to perform her own music when doing any show. As most people know Lindsay is a man of comparatively few words, so when he speaks of matters for Melissa's benefit, then we listen'.
The answer was relatively easy when it came to a possible selection.
'I came to the conclusion that the next best thing to Lindsay who is a master of his art is the master's apprentice, so it followed that I should approach Lindsay Waddington' Melissa said.
Three times Queensland Musician of the Year Lindsay Waddington lives on the Gold Coast, while Melissa lives in the Hunter Valley, a seemingly impossible and definitely impractical alliance.
However with the cost of airfares as low as they are today, Melissa almost exclusively flies to shows in other states now herself, and so it's just another low cost airline ticket to get Waddo to any show in Australia with her.
Melissa's latest single Luckiest Girl from her new album Small Town Girl on NfS 117 Track 9.
