DAVE'S DIARY - 23 JANUARY 2005 - EPISODE 4 PREVIEW - SERIES 3

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH KEITH URBAN

So you've always wanted to know what goes into making of a video clip - an essential marketing tool in the huge international country music market.

Well, we have an exclusive behind the scenes footage of the filming of expatriate Australasian Keith Urban's fifth #1 U.S. hit Days Go By.

You meet Keith's mum - head of his million-dollar fan club - as she ensures her guitar slinger son matches his music and image.

And that means getting his hair right - check out Keith's genetic dam that overflowed into his feisty follicles.

Oh, the music's pretty good on Days Go By - one of the highlights of Episode #4 of Nu Country TV Series #3 on Saturday January 29 at 8 p m on C 31 and repeated on Tuesday February 2 at 3 p m.

The song is the eighth #5 hit for Urban, 37, who makes a triumphant tour of Australia that peaks at St Kilda Palais on Saturday February 26.

That's great news for cashed up country fans to catch Shotgun Willie Nelson 71 and making his sixth Australian tour - at Myer Music Bowl - Sunday February 27.

Chart topping Redneck Woman Gretchen Wilson, 32, also performs the venue that once hosted Merle Haggard and Bob Dylan - on the Sabbath.

NOTORIOUS CHERRY BOMBS

Urban's songwriting source and mentor Rodney Crowell also performs this week with the Notorious Cherry Bombs.

Keith cut Crowell song Making Memories Of Us, huge selling fifth album Be Here.

"They were recording across the hall from us," Urban says. "I'd already been pitched the song, and I loved it, obviously."

But here the band performs the satirical Crowell-Vince Gill co-write It's Hard To Kiss The Lips At Night That Chew Your Ass Out All Day Long.

STEVE FORDE FINDS ANOTHER MAN

Don't accuse former rodeo rider Steve Forde of making easy bucks out of his hard bucks.

The latter day Grenfell farmer has the broken bones and bruises to show for his life in the saddle.

Steve, now 27, was raised on a Cowra farm and mixed music with bull riding and bareback bronc work before following his dream to Texas in 1998.

There he bought a 63 Dodge Polara that enabled him to travel and enjoy his twin pursuits from the Lone Star state to Colorado and Canada.

Forde turned his hand to fencing in famed West Texas panhandle city Lubbock between gigs and rodeos.

< Steve Forde

Steve and The Flange perform the video of their new single Another Man from his second U.S. produced album Wide Ride.

ROYDEN DONOHUE - NYNGAN

Royden Donohue had made four independent albums at the ripe old age of 25.

The Nyngan born balladeer performs a video of his song We're Gone from one of four albums that include Heartbreaker, Rope the Moon, Solitary Man and Kentucky Rain.

Royden is the subject of an SBS TV documentary filmed on an outback tour with veteran bush balladeer Brian Young.

Donohue's songs are a feature of the fascinating story of Young who has nurtured the careers of many Australian artists including Troy Cassar-Daley, Travis Collins and Beccy Cole.

PAUL HICKS TRIBUTE

And we wish our best to former host Paul Hicks who returned to live on the family farm at Oxley near Wangaratta last year after his dad died after a stroke.

Paul suffered a double whammy when his mother passed away from cancer while he was touring Tamworth to promote his debut solo disc Kettle Of Fish.

Our condolences go out to Paul, his three brothers, sister and other surviving family members.
