This promises to be a truly magical gig if the last one is anything to go by. It’s a pure joy to play with such brilliantly talented women. Gee we’ve got to record an album!

Come and check out a gig with Elisabeth Lord, Leigh James and myself for “Jazz in the Countryside” at The Goonelabah Tavern on the 7th December at 4pm. It’s free entry, and a great vibe.

Hi all.

I’m back for a show with The Festival Sextet @ Bennett’s Thursday 18th December @ 9pm, and if it goes anything like last years gig, I’m very much looking forward to it. With Xani Kolac on Violin, and Shannon Barnett on Trombone, I’ll be playing with a dreamy front row (all the girls originals). Not to forget the best female rhythm section in Melbourne, if not Australia, Andrea Kellar (piano), Sonja Horbelt (drums) and Tamara Murphy (Double Bass). Pretty special! Hope to see you there.
