STEVE SMYTH ­ Scarlet Roses This 21 year old hails from the rugged heartland of the New South Wales south coast. His parents were roving ministers in the 80s and 90s, giving him a childhood deep in Sunday gospel sessions. He started teaching himself guitar at the age of eight, the first song he learnt was Cats in the Cradle. In late 2004 he formed a collective of accomplished South Coast musicians who called themselves, The Midnight Express, and began gigging.
