Jim Kelly and Barry Leef interviewed on their album Who Is Who
Jim Kelly and Barry Leef recently collaborated on an original album called Who Is Who. These guys go way back to bands like Crossfire, Bakery, and Supermarket. They toured extensively together in the 1980s with Supermarket but this is their first recording together. I was lucky enough to be able to interview them both about this project and found them great storytellers.

Hi Mark,
I was just reminiscing through an old diary and found some entries where I had seen bands and different venues. I had a look on the ‘Australian Music Database’ and some/all aren’t on there. I don’t seem to be able top send through info via a contact page so…….Can I send you a list of some past gigs to add?
