Bonus Bit #1 - Paul Colman's Full Interview

When I was making a list of guests for this podcast series, Paul Colman was right at the very top, because he and his band the Paul Colman Trio, were the biggest act in Australian Christian music as the Australian Gospel Music Festival got going in the early 2000s.  The Paul Colman Trio released a number of independent albums before relocating to the US in 2002.  They subsequently received a Dove Award and a Grammy nomination for their US debut 'New Map of the World'. The trio disbanded in early 2004, before reforming at Easterfest's request in 2009, also recording and releasing the album 'Return' that year. In this interview Paul chats about some of his Easterfest and AGMF memories, the Christian music scene of the late 90s and early 2000s, his stint as Newsboys guitarist, watching the band For King and Country develop, and the Paul Colman Trio reunion at Easterfest in 2009.  Links: Paul Colman Trio website Paul Colman website Paul Colman Trio Bandcamp You can keep those nostalgic vibes going with our special Easterfest and AGMF playlist on Spotify.  Don’t forget to leave us a review with your favourite memory of the Easterfest and AGMF days, and don’t be afraid to go hard with the five star ratings!
