Donnie Sutherland interviews Matt Moffitt and John Prior from Matt Finish in 1984 on his national Australian television show Sounds Unlimited on Network Seven.
The lack of venues is caused by those damned poker machines. What's a publican going to do? A live venue is a lot of work, after a big night you mop up the residue left by 5,000 punters compared to people playing the pokies it's a no brainer.
Yes that's why he shunned the media so much. Gossip mongers such as Catlin are such cowards, "from a reliable source" yeah right. Name the source if it's so reliable or did you just pull it out of your arse. The guy is DEAD so keep your comments for the living who can defend themselves. A man's a man who looks a man right between the eyes.
That album was so beautiful produced. The quality of the rhythm section is so ridiculous good and one of Australia's best Albums. 🙌🤘
And the venue situation just got worse and worse from there.
This is great, but what did John Prior take before it? Looks elsewhere. Also- he's one of my favorite players ever. So not trolling here.

such serious young insects
Do you know how he died? What age? That's really sad, he's an icon of that era.
46 Y.O.
Alllegedly a stroke in his sleep. Doesn't sound quite right to me, but I don't want to disrespect the guy.
He was unfortunately 46.
I don't think Matt's around anymore :(
yep
I heard from a reliable source that Matt was a bit up himself and was really into the "rockstar" thing
