‘Folk, bluegrass and country influences are evident and vocal harmony is a feature of our music’
(Steve and Liz, Mafeking Hillbillies)
The Mafeking Hillbillies comprises siblings Steve (Errol) Laws on guitar, mandolin, banjo and vocals and Liz Wakely on guitar and vocals, also joined by David Graham on double bass as well as other guests who join them along the way.
Steve and Liz grew up in Maffra in Victoria’s Gippsland region. Their childhood home was opposite a park called Mafeking Hill, hence the name ‘ Mafeking Hillbillies’ . They have previously performed together as part of Gerry’s Fifth Soul and Rotisserie. In addition to solo performances Steve has been a member of The Buttons and Liz has played with Mr Laughton. David hails from the hills north west of Yarram and has been playing double bass for several years.
The band provides a vehicle for Steve and Liz’s original songs, many of which tell local stories, along with a selection of covers.
