 G'day
Everyone,
I apologise for being so slow with my web
page update but a lot has happened in the
past 6-8 months.
I have caught up with a lot of people at
Mildura, Broken Hill and Tamworth Festivals
and have been doing a few shows with Dean
Perrett.
My third CD "BORDERLINE" is now
available and I am very happy with the
finished product. Special thanks must go to Stuie French for his guidance and the
learning that I received while working with
all the musicians. To all the great
songwriters for the material to record and
to all the radio presenters who spin the
discs. To the people who support me and buy
the albums the last track on the CD is
dedicated to each and every one of you. The
great photos on the cover were taken by our
local photographer Doug Eaton - it was a
marathon for us to get together to get them
done - first sitting Doug got flood bound at
Coraki and I only just made it out to get
back to Brisbane, second round it rained
right up to the day of the photos - we had
even contemplated changing the name of the
CD to "Drought Breaker".
I moved to Rosewood QLD to live in November
and I am working as a truck driver for
Bastow Earthmoving - they are great and will
give me time to do my music as well. I
became engaged to Rachel in August and we
are expecting our baby in August - so I soon
will have the opportunity to practice my
singing each night.
Tamworth was a busy time and I had the
pleasure of being at the unveiling of the
Barry Thornton Bronze Bust and the honour of
playing the first song Barry taught me on
his beloved Gibson along with Jay Messenger,
Alisha Smith, Charley Boyter - some precious
memories to keep.
I will be launching the new Cd at Oracles of
the Bush in Tenterfield - April 4-5-6 - so
if you are in the area call in to some of
the great poetry shows that they have
organised or contact Tenterfield Tourist
Information for more details.
I am planning an Concert in the Casino Area
to launch the Cd for people who have
supported my career since I started singing
- keep an eye on the local paper or give mum
a ring for the details
Ph 02 6662 3243,.
Until next time
Yours in Bush Ballads
