Highly
Strung has a long history in traditional music, from our
beginning we were a bluegrass. Band featuring banjo,
mandolin, fiddle, guitar and bass, audience demands
caused us to evolve into something more as Charlie and
Stuart featured with some success in local bush band
Warrabush from 1995 until the folding of the band in
2003.
Highly Strung features:
Charlie Cugaly Guitar, Banjo,
Vocals - Stuart Hobart Bass, Vocals
Kelvin OConnor - Fiddle

Charlies
career has spanned some twenty years, covering
music styles as diverse as
bluegrass,
Country,
Irish, Celtic, Bush, rock and blues, a very
competent musician on both guitar and banjo.
Charlie has a vast repertoire covering these
styles. Traditional bush dances with Gaelic and
Celtic roots are called where everybody gets
involved and enjoys themselves immensely

Stuart joined
Charlie playing traditional bluegrass music in
Highly Strung in 1992 after having played
rockin country with Cliff Guy in Tasmania
(and supporting his nomination for a gold guitar
at the Tamworth country music festival.) Joining
Warrabush in 1995 where we performed regularly
at venues throughout Sydney and the South Coast
on special occasions such as Australia day, St
Patricks Day and ANZAC Day where the authentic
feel of the music added to the success of the
event.

Kelvin has
been a regular in the Illawarra folk/Irish music
scene since the early 80s with such well
known bands as Raffertys Rules,
Paddys Pigs, Feral Flynn Bush Band and the
Back Burners. Kelvin like so many talented
musicians felt the attraction of Tamworth where
he competed in many fiddle competitions and at
one point took out a busking competition with
fellow musician Greg OBrien. Kelvins
fine fiddling brings an excitement to the music
and adds real life to the song and dances of
Highly Strung.
