For John & Rick Brewster this is a dream come true, their father Arthur Brewster Jones was a conductor for the Brewster Jones String Orchestra and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra as well as being the principal cellist from the mid 1940's to mid 1950's.

"John and I grew up surrounded by classical music. Our father and both his parents were all classical musicians - performing, composing, teaching and conducting. These early influences have remained with us throughout our careers and we are at last about to realise our dream of one day performing our own music with an orchestra. It will add a whole new dimension to it.....
It's a very exciting and challenging prospect and I hope the end result is agreeable to the ancestors if they're listening ... they're a hard bunch to please! ....
This one's for Dad, Gran & Bopo, I will definitely "make the melody sing"!”....
- Rick Brewster....
“Rick & I have such a rich heritage of classical music through our family that when we come up with chord progressions and solos like 'Take A Long Line' I always thought that there was a classical element I was almost like Rick was playing the melodies on a violin. When we recorded Mr Damage we would hum orchestral parts to the song and thought it would be great to marry such a phonetic song with an orchestra. Bring it on!!” - John Brewster....
This will be an event not to miss.....
