Mainline is well and truely a fulltime touring band and one of the hardest working to emerge from the local music scene in a very long time.

The band takes pride in being welcomed back by happy and satisfied hotel venue management time and time again working with volume control to keep the management happy.During 2005 Mainline added clubs to there ever increasing lists of clients.So no matter what the occasion or venue this band has the performance to suit.

Through The Motions Album has been nominated for 3 awards at the 5th Newcastle Blues Festival in catagories of peoples choice,best album and best new talent.

In 2005 the bands drummer Greg Healy made the decision to leave the band.His infecteous grooves and styles will be missed but the band continues on thanks to Bradley Camilleri and Bruce Trollope for filling in on drums in between the times up to late 2006.We also thank bruce for his artwork and continueous efforts helping Mainline.The bands latest drummer Brian Trevarton Mr shuffle himself is loving playing with Mainline.

Also Joyce Bugeja left the band in early 2007.Bye bye to our little Bon Scott attitude chick.We wish you all the best.The vocal roll has now been taken over bye Andy Welsh who is a great harp player and blues singer.Also sharing vocals is Troy Camilleri which he always sang a selective number of blues greats.

Thank you Joyce and Greg and to all our friends and supporters who have helped Mainline over last 5 years.We have even got to sign the wall of fame at the 11th Australian Blues Festival in Goulburn.
