A lot of the songwriting for Paul Kelly's new album, "Ways and Means", goes back to August 2002 when Peter Luscombe, Bill McDonald, Dan Luscombe and Dan Kelly (Paul's housemate) joined Paul to jam once a week in a rehearsal room. While they were waiting for it to come out they collaborated on music for a film by Alkinos Tsimilidos entitled "Missing Tom". They also recorded a theme song and nine tracks for "Fireflies", a new TV series, which will commence screening on the ABC this February. To coincide with the mid-February release of "Ways and Means", Paul and company will tour, playing Geelong's Performing Art Centre on April 24, and the Melbourne Concert Hall on April 27. An updated book of lyrics, published by Allen & Unwin, is scheduled
for release in March. It contains all song lyrics written up to this point including the latest album.
