I sometimes wonder what has happened to life as we knew it? After suffering 2 years of Covid 19, now we have flooding and endless rain, and there is a Japanese mosquito disease here too! Some days it’s hard to stay positive. Despite the fact that most of my group classes and workshop have now…

Despite the new year starting out with further restrictions again due to Omicron I am managing to surge ahead with many new gigs and shows coming in. Tamworth festival has been postponed to April now which in hindsight could be a blessing, at least weather wise. Also I will be performing on a Country lunch…

Here we are approaching another Christmas and year’s end and what a strange year it’s been. Marred by the loss of some very dear loved ones but also the prospect of new business opportunities coupled with 4 months of lockdown it’s been a real rollercoaster for me. It all just makes us appreciate the small…

Thankfully our show at Petersham RSL has been reinstated for the 12th Dec. Great stuff! There is still much hesitancy around with both venues and patrons but I feel things are slowly easing and returning to normal. Once we have a band booking then I know we are! Georges River Sailing Club is my debut…

Today, 11th Oct is meant to be the start of ‘Freedom’ day for NSW. However, many venues and clubs are STILL not reinstating live music.

Here we are in September in our 10th week of lockdown and I must say, this one is sapping my motivation. Though I am using the time to expand my musical horizons by learning to play piano which is now a habit and are up to Grade 3! I’m even trying to write my next…

Here we are nearly 18 months later in this pandemic and I feel like we are no further ahead. This virus has totally decimated so many professions, the biggest being airlines, tourism and the arts. I am still having gigs cancelled and very few bookings coming in. It’s a very uncertain world we live in…

Yep, winter is truly here already but the good news is…it’s less than 12 weeks ’til spring! There are a few gigs trickling in but things are in no way back to ‘normal’ for the music industry pre covid. The first band gig went off like a cracker but no other dates in sight as…

Here we are in the merry month of May already! Many family and friends birthdays in this month including my own. While Treasurer Josh continues to boast how the economy is going ‘gang busters’ the music industry is still limping along! Another gig cancelled this week, well postponed to next month and it’s questionable whether…
