Outback currently operates as either a duo or trio, depending on the needs of the venue. The current members are:   Chin Hwi Ang - Drawing on her Australian/Chinese-Malaysian cultural heritage, Chin-Hwi brings to the band a diverse and varied style of musical performance. In 2004 Chin-Hwi embarked a journey of musical discovery, taking in London, Switzerland, Spain, Italy and Singapore... now she's headed off to the "Outback"! Whilst fiddling, you will find Chin-Hwi at Angamus Music Studio, where she tutors violin and piano. She is also the Strings Specialist at Lathams Music Kotara. Brett Lambkin - Lead vocals, guitar, keyboard, didgeridoo, bass, mandolin, bodhran. Brett has been with the band since March 1989 when it was formed. He began as a keyboard player singing backing vocals, then moved to bass guitar during the early 90s, and on to lead vocals in the mid 90s, picking up guitar along the way. Brett is also a High School Teacher, Gym Instructor and competitive cyclist. Brett took out the award for the Leading Individual Outstanding Performer during the Fosters Battle of the Bush (2000) in Tamworth and has supported international artists such as Foster and Allen, The Fureys, Colin Buchanan, Billy Thorpe and Eric Bogle. Frances Lambkin - largerphone, keyboard, vocals. By day a psychologist, by night a largophonist, Frances has also studied at the Newcastle Conservatorium of Music on the piano and is quickly becoming accomplished on the 'Murrumbidgee Rattler'. Singing Kasey Chambers songs in a country band is her idea of heaven (those of you who know her may find this a little amusing).
