I have been rehearsing regularly with two friends, Stuart Neal on guitar and Neville Hermes on electric bass.  We collectively call ourselves Three For The Road, with Naoki Kimpara joining us occasionally on drums.  We play at the Barrier Reef Hotel with the Tropical Jazz Club of Cairns when invited to do so.  The Jazz Club events occur every Sunday fortnight.

Together, we perform some of the most popular jazz titles, and will often feature an "open mic" segment for anyon...

Join me on Monday mornings from 9am for Swing Jukebox on Cairns' first FM station, CairnsFM 89.1.  If you're not in the local area you can always stream live.  Happy to take song requests either by calling the studio or sending an email to [email protected] and I'll be sure to get it on for you!

Now located in Cairns in Far Norh Queensland, I'm happily taking bookings in my new surroundings.  I'll be at Tanks Markets on the 27th of June if you'd like to stop by and say 'hi'.

Because the entire world is in a virtual lockdown with so many restrictions, I've not been immune to this at all.  In fact, I haven't performed at a real venue since early February, when the proverbial started to hit the fan.

Now that Queensland has relaxed a lot of the restrictions regarding weddings, music venues and restaurants, we are slowly beginning to come back into the world of entertainment.

It's been a long, hard road to travel, these last nine months or so, and I''...

Because of numerous "spam" comments, some very offensive, I've had to disable comments completely on this page.  It's terrible that some have to flog crap at every opportunity, but such is the situation in this world.

You can always contact me via the usual means.

Yes, I'm on air at Phoenix 96.3fm in Bundaberg each Wed and Fri morning from 9-12.  My program is titled "Morning Jukebox" and I love playing many songs from the 40s especially, when artists like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat 'King' Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and numerous others made their mark in musical history.

Not only am I on air, but the station is streaming live across the internet 24/7.  You can tune in from wherever you are by pointing your browser to www.phoenix963fm.co...

Hello dear friends and family

Undoubtedly, the Covid 19 (Coronavirus) pandemic has affected many in the entertainment industry, including myself after already having a number of gigs canceled. No one has any definite answers as to how long the situation will last, but many say many months.

I'll no longer be posting notices of myself regarding availability, because here in Australia, all gatherings are forbidden, and all licensed clubs and venues, restaurants and cafes, cinemas, ch...

Most of you know that I'm on a kind of hiatus from the usuail world I live in, in that I'm spending almost a month in my native Canada.  Yes, born in Montreal but have lived virtunately across this wide land, from Nova Scotia to Jasper.

A brief stay in Vancouver around 1975 saw me and my good freind Don Cope saw us travel from Montreal to Vancouver.  Little did  know then that the western bug would bite me and wouild see me return for four more seasons at Jasper Park Lodg...

After many months of trial and error, I'm proud to announce the release of my first CD, recorded and produced by The Shed, Bundaberg and expertly mixed and rendered by Rob Elkin, who did such a fabulous job of everything!

For sale here in Australia for only $15, I can have one posted to you for only a dollar more.  If overseas, the total cost is $18AUD and you can remit via PayPal.

Otherwise, I'll often have copies with me wherever I'm performing, including Bargara Markets an...

Hi all

I realise I haven't written on my blog for some time, and hope I'll be forgiven.  Latest news that Ros, I and Sarah and her boyfriend are off to Canada for the month of September.  Actually, Sarah arrived in Vancouver on the 20th of August, we will join her and Clancy on Tuesday the 27th.

This obviously means that I will not be available for the entire month of September, but return on the 27th.

Until then, do take care and I'll see you back at Rick's at Bar...
