Brothers Mic & Jim Conway have been playing music since school days, when they started the Jellybean Jug Band together, which subsequently morphed into the Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band. In the early 1970s Captain Matchbox were a tearaway success with old 1920s\/30s tunes such as My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes and comical tunes of their own, like Wangaratta Wahine. Mic loves visual entertainment and vaudeville, and creating instruments out of anything to hand. He has been in countless band line-ups over the last 40 years, and they all demonstrate his unique vision of performance, circus and vaudeville. Jim on the other hand is a natural musician and a blues one at that. He found his instrument early on in Captain Matchbox with the harmonica, proceeding to become one of Australia\u2019s foremost blues harp players. As has been said of them, the brothers make sibling rivalry an art form, but they are also very close. At the age of 30 Jim was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), and this has gradually progressed over the last 40 years to the point where Jim is now virtually quadriplegic and can no longer play harmonica. Jim is married and Mic has his own family, but they have remained side by side through the years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5568,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false},"movie_genre":[94,229,125,214,233],"movie_tag":[111,155,172,191],"class_list":["post-698","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_genre-adventure","movie_genre-australian-entry","movie_genre-documentary","movie_genre-feature","movie_genre-queensland-made","movie_tag-brother","movie_tag-king","movie_tag-premieres","movie_tag-viking"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
