Episode 40: My Friend Brendan Maclean

Brendan Maclean dances like no-one is watching, sings like his life depends on it and performs the hell out of every role he finds himself in. Solo at the piano? You got it. Choreographed pop with dancers? Bring it on. A star of the ultimate jukebox cabaret/circus spectacular Velvet? Five stars. In short, Maclean gives it all wherever his career path takes him - and the world is ever grateful for it.In the middle of a run of Velvet at the Sydney Opera House, Maclean candidly discussed running from his bullies, seeking solace in the Shire and finding himself as a performer.Velvet is currently at the Adelaide Fringe Festival until March 13; with runs to follow in Melbourne and Brisbane.For a full list of dates and tickets, visit http://velvettheshow.comYou can find all of Brendan's music - including recent singles "Tectonic" and "Collecting Day" - on his Bandcamp: http://brendanmaclean.bandcamp.comFollow Brendan on Twitter: @macleanbrendanFollow David on Twitter: @DJYwritesFollow the podcast on Twitter: @BarBandsPodSupport David on Patreon: http://patreon.com/davidjamesyoungSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
