Liam Bradley
Liam Bradley's vibraphone colours Jim Minchin's late-1960s religious songs, joining jazz and folk textures to traditional hymn texts on the pioneering Move recordings of music for the contemporary church.
Those sessions sit in a wider working life as a musician and composer. He wrote for documentaries and advertising, and supplied the score for the ABC adventure travel series A River Somewhere, shaping a distinct musical world for each episode.
