Thomas Busby and Jeremy Marou, known to lovers of gentle acoustic ukelele as Busby Marou, talk about their surprising career.

Rockhampton’s Busby Marou cracked the big time in 2011 with their swooning little single ‘Biding My Time’ and their self-titled debut hitting 24 on the ARIA charts.

Thomas and Jeremy talk about the “good luck”, dropping the day jobs, hitting the ‘Beef Capital’ of Australia, recording with Pete Murray, coming from Rocky, big families, and being the first artist on the Footstomp label.
