In our Season Two finale, we meet formidable songwriter, producer and performer Sue Ray, and her trusty doggos - Barnsey and Bingo.

A very special conversation, and a must-listen for neurospicy creatives. And some great insights into Sue's country music pedigree, including a cracking story about her guitarist father Owen Ray, his obsession with improving the design of famous guitars, and his friendship with Leo Fender. And so much more.

Don't miss this one, this brilliant woman is one-of-a-kind, and her music is incredible.

You can find Sue Ray on all the platforms and what’s more she’s about to put another record out, with a single due late May 2026. This album will me an absolutely cracker. Trust me!

You can also find me, Roz Pappalardo, and my projects including Lontano and we just won the Ql Music Award for Best Blues and Roots song, Women in Docs and my theatre work across all socials.

We’re taking a quick break while we put together season 3 - but don’t worry, we’ll drop you some little treats while you wait. In the meantime, the best thing you can do is rate, review and follow so we can continue to come back here, because, let’s face it, it’s a microphone and I'll wrestle you for it!

Until next time, love your four-legged best friends with everything you’ve got… because every day counts.

This is Rescued.

This week on Rescued, meet Sally Balfour - a Darwin local with a gentle presence and a quietly resilient core. She’s a singer-songwriter, children’s theatre maker, graphic designer, mum… and, as it turns out, a pretty strategic operator.

I first stumbled across Sally at a Christmas show during my short stint in Darwin where she was the special guest at a Railway Club gig in Parap with Dave Garnham and the Choir of Man -(check them out - do!) - and honestly, she stole the show. Since then, I’ve kept bumping into her, from the Rails Club in Parap, Darwin, to the beautiful chaos of Tamworth Country Music Festival, where she was wrangling Northern Territory artists on Peel Street for a showcase, like an absolute pro.

So, settle in with a cuppa, a wine or a Northern Territory coldie, no judgement here, and let’s hear from Alice Springs girl come good, Sally Balfour.
