Stephen Housden ‎/ New World Groove

Bedfordshire, UK born and Australia grown up Stephen Housden joined Little River Band, as their lead guitaris in 1981 and recorded seventh LRB album ‘’The Net’ which was also the first album for the new lead vocalist John Farnham. A founding member Graham Goble said then, "that lineup [Goble, Nelson, Housden, Farnham, Prestwich and Hirschfelder] was the most talented LRB lineup that I had ever played in."
Whilst Goble started to seek for a solo career since 1989 and performed live and recorded an album as Broken Voice with Housden, Housden stayed with LRB but at the same time he also recorded his first solo instrumental album “New World Groove” and its opening track “Celtic Warrior” was featured on the US TV ( NBC network) series Baywatch. The album was originally released in Switzerland in 1993 and re-released in USA in 1997 by Thoghtscape Sounds when they released Broken Voices album.
