19.01.2022 We here at Blues Music Victoria were very saddened to to hear on the weekend of the passing of Greg Fisher. Greg was a huge supporter of local blues. He previously ran an Australian blues radio show on Southern FM, he wrote a monthly column for a Mornington Peninsula entertainment magazine and he also took wonderful photos at gigs. Greg was a quietly spoken gentleman who encouraged everyone. He fought a tough battle against cancer but it sadly got the upper hand. Vale Greg Fisher...
