Mental As Anything doing a Live, acoustic and busking set on
“Good Afternoon Australia”, Dec 21 1984. Mental As Anything, now consisting of
Greedy Smith (vocals/keyboards), Martin Cilia (guitars), Jacob Cook (drums),
Craig Gordon (vocals/guitars) and Peter Gray (vocals/bass), played a special
40th anniversary show at Surfersaurus in Sydney, during October 2018. Smith was
by this point the only original member of Mental As Anything to still be
playing with the group. Sadly "Greedy" Smith died of a heart attack
on 2 December 2019, in Sydney. Smith's final show with the band -- and the
band's last show to date -- took place on 23 November in Werrington, New South
Wales.
UPDATE - Unfortunately this is the only Christmas post for this year,
I have had a few technical issues with computers more than I would like to
mention but fingers crossed the Blog will be up and running full steam in
20/20. Wishing you all a fantastic Christmas and a great New Year. Ozzie. Flac

I've been getting withdrawal symptoms from you lack of posts. Now I understand. Hopefully the gremlins will stay away. Keep them coming mate. I love your blog
Have a great 2020 …..
Glad to see you up and posting again brother, although it's so terribly sad that it's a post about the death of Greedy.
I remember interviewing him back in my radio days, and he was a thoroughly entertaining, lovely bloke.
A great loss to the Australian music scene.

Hi! Is there any chance that you have Darryl Cotton's 1981 single "Nice Girls"? Would love to hear it. Best wishes for the new year!
Thanks for all the effort you go to keeping this project alive. It is truly appreciated.
