LIFE OUTSIDE HUNTERS AND COLLECTORS

Friday, 08 August 2008

Howdy troops. It may seem like musical life has been very quiet down here in Elwood but nothing could be further from the truth.
This year, I've sung bass in an opera, played at The E.J.Whitten Legends Game, played at the launch of Airway Lanes' new CD, been writing heaps of new songs with the school bands that I run (Tavish and the Wesley jazz ensembles) and I've got a new CD in the can due for release next year (tentatively titled "Lost Horizon"). The Elwood Dads' Band have also been playing all over the place.
My big news is that I'm the musical director of a brand new Australian musical, "Call Girl", written by Melbourne actor/comedienne/musician Tracy Harvey. Tracy got me involved earlier this year and we've been having a ball. Go to www.callgirlbiz.com for details about the show and how you can buy tickets.
I've also got a few shows coming up with The Long Lost Brothers - we're at The Rainbow Hotel in Fitzroy on Fridays Aug.29th and Oct.3rd; we're at Bar 9T4 in Richmond on Saturdays Sept. 6th and 20th; and we'll be at Chaucer's Bottleshop in Malvern on Fri.Oct.10th.....and on October 20th, I turn 50!! If you're wondering how I maintain my hunky looks, it's my moisturiser, darlings. I don't go anywhere without it.
Cheers - see you on the other side.
