101. Greg Henson ft Fizz Henson
My guests today is Australian drummer Greg Henson and his wife Fizz.
Greg’s love of drums and “all things hittable” started at school and he has made his living playing drums and percussion ever since.
His first musical was the drum chair in “Jesus Christ, Superstar” in 1972. He has played, amongst others, “Betty Blokkbuster Follies” with Reg Livermore, “Rocky Horror Show”,”Rasputin”,“Hair”, “Big River”, “Tom Waits for No Man” and in concert at the Sydney Opera House with The Beatles White Album.
Other gigs, sessions and tours have been with Baxter Funt, Jon English & the Foster Brothers, Marcia Hines, Doug Parkinson, John Waters and Slim Dusty to name a few.
His television credits include The Don Lane Show (with Bryan Ferry), “The Aunty Jack Show” and “Star Search”.
Greg has played with Chuck Berry and Christopher Cross and toured with Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers, Joe Cocker and the Beach Boys.
Fizz Henson, sister of actor and musician John Waters, was born in the UK and worked for many years at Thames Studios including work on The Benny Hill Show amongst others. Upon moving to Australia, Fizz and Greg met on gig once and the rest is history.
Greg and Fizz share many gig stories together which you’ll get to hear today as they bounce of each other.
After dinner and a couple of drinks, I just put the recorder in the middle of the table, and off we went.
So let's gets into it. Ladies and gentleman, sit back and enjoy this conversation with Greg and Fizz Henson.
This conversation was recorded 22/10/2020.
