In Europe he is now recognized as a significant singer/song writer, capable of rendering audiences spellbound in rapt attention with just his piano and his voice, while in Australia he has an enviable reputation as a bandleader and catalyst of a succession of inventive and uninhibited groups, equally capable of driving audiences into frenzies of excitement." |

This website has been the culmination of many years of producing Independent Music, while achieving the rare feat of maintaining ownership of my entire musical catalogue.
I have always hoped to one day put it all under one roof and allow it be presented with some meaning, as an entire body of work. With thanks to the support of the National Film and Sound Archives of Australia to collect and curate my material as a "Priority Heritage Artist", I present this website as it's own "Living Archive". Louis Tillett |
There are, as yet, thousands of pages of Archival Press, TV, Bootlegs, Clips, Posters, Photos, and other Ephemera yet to be uploaded and presented.
I would like to make this site as comprehensive as possible for the purposes of the National Film and Sound Archives of Australia and for the interests of everyone interested in my music, and the cultural history of the times in which it has unfolded.
