Martin Cooper - guitar
Guitarist, Martin Cooper’s love affair with the Blues started 40 years ago, after hearing the heavily Blues-inflected bands, Cream & the Rolling Stones. Having recently taken up guitar, Cooper fell under the spell of the Delta Blues giant, Robert Johnson and from there he soon discovered the profound works of Skip James, Big Bill Broonzy, Muddy Waters, B.B. King and Son House. Drawn to the electric guitar almost immediately, Cooper states that his life changed after he heard Freddie King and his famous vibrato-laden guitar sound, which emulated King’s voice. Cooper worked with various bands through his teens and twenties, including The Faith Healers, The Harmonic Destroyers and Mountain Ash and was the resident guitarist at the Café Jammin’ for several years.
In the mid-eighties, while working with Bob Sedergreen’s Blues on the Boil, Cooper met Australian Blues legend, Dutch Tilders. The pair formed a musical bond and personal friendship that ensues today.
Cooper cites the privilege of playing with Tilders’ and his close friend, the great Brownie McGhee, as one of the highlights of his musical career. Cooper was one of the founding members of Dutch Tilders’ band, The Blues Club, which included Tilders, Barry Hills and Winston Galea. The Blues Club has been considered to be the first Blues Band in Australia to temper a hard-driven, electric Blues sound with dynamics; feel-based light and shade. For 4 years, Cooper played and toured with Tilders and the Blues Club extensively, before he moved on to new musical challenges.
Cooper and Tilders reunited in 2007 and have been working together in a band ensemble and also as a duo.

BARRY HARVEY - Drummer/Writer/Bass/Piano
"I am celebrating my 51st year of Reading, writing, performing drums, double bass and piano arranging. When I Started to learn piano and drums my Dad said that I could as long as I learnt how to read music, he was right as back in the late 1950's there were hardly any drummers who could read charts and because at around age 11 I was admitted to the Professional Musicians Union of Australia as that was the only way I could do reading gigs in licensed premises and my Dad was smart as I got most of the big name acts to back when growing up in Brisbane. When the stars of Bandstand and artists from the Southern states had hit records and they did the Brisbane circuit I got to back them because I could read their charts and only a handful of players could. This continued for up to where I joined my first rock band in 1964 and then met Barry ( big goose ) Sullivan in 1965, he was a lead guitarist then and I was so glad when he changed to bass guitar in 1969, 3 months before CHAIN started and he and I spent 3 months playing bass and drums together every night and day to get what a rhythm section was all about. Well it certainly paid off, because the first CHAIN in 1969 that recorded 'CHAIN LIVE" which was released in 1970 and stayed in the top twenty albums for more than ten weeks even though the band had already spilt up. This got us to ask Matt Taylor to join Phil Manning, Barry ‘Big Goose’ Sullivan and myself and we wrote 'Black and Blue' in Brisbane in late 1970 drove to Sydney and recorded it at Festival Records and by the time we got to Melbourne it was number one on the Melbourne radio charts. Chain split in 1973 and I was in the first Kevin Borich Express with Harry Brus.
I was living in Sydney after 1974 to 1979 when I went to Berklee College of Music in Boston Massachusetts to study arranging, jazz harmony and double bass. Upon returning after being in Boston I got married and CHAIN reformed in 1983 and went back on the road full time from 1983 to 1988 for myself anyway. I went into finishing my text book 'The Text oF Music Phrase" and teaching in the private school system in Q'LD, my book is at  www.barryharvey.com  Then in 1994 CHAIN asked me to come back and tour with them again which I did and have been ever since.
I have 11 text books to my name in music. I am a Berklee Alumni Advisor now for young students studying in Boston who need advice, I have 2 GOLD Albums and I Silver single to my credit and have advanced diplomas in all forms of musical education and Performance. Everything that I have done in my music career has been told to me by higher beings of who I have always had faith in as they have led me to success after success because I believe in the Spiritual side of my art of music as much as the physical ability to be able to play anything I want.
