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 anyone who would like to come up and sing a song or two.

It's a nice way to spend a warm Cairns Sunday afternoon listening to some great jazz songs from local artists - not just us, but quite a few others as well.

Love jazz?  Join the Tropical Jazz Club at the Barrier Reef Hotel, Wharf St Cairns from 2-5pm.  See their Faceboook page for a list of upcoming artists.

Since before Christmas 2018, I've been presenting on Encore 96.3fm Bundaberg Community Radio on Mondays and Fridays from 9am to midday.  My program titled "Crooners, Swingers and Songbirds" has been very well received, and I get phone in calls every day I'm on with lovely comments from listeners as well as song requests and the like.

We are hoping to stream the radio within the next few weeks, so stay tuned (pun).

In the meantime, you can visit the radio's Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/Encore963/ and are most welcome to leave a comment.

Hi all

I haven't posted in some time, but I figured I should advise all visiting the website that I will be unavaliable from about 21 Aug to 21 Sept as I'll be holidaying in my native Canada.  This will likely be the last time we will be able to get over there (and back!) so we're trying to get it all in in one month's time!

Roslyn has been busily trying to organise an itinerary, and it's no easy matter as we try to make possible visiting so many friends and rellies across the country from Vancouver to Montreal.

All being good, we'll be back and I'll resume gigging from around the 21st of September.

Just uploaded a revised edition of my Song List for viewing/downloading.  Just a few edits; I'm now well over 800 songs in the repertoire and growing almost daily!

It's official now - we are residents of Bargara, near Bundaberg, Qld.  Roughly 300 kms further north from our previous residence on the Sunshine Coast, we are now calling Bargara home.  This is a lovely area, and we are so close to the beach that we are walking daily to it with Maisey, who also adores her new home.

Moving to a new locailty will require me to re-establish myself and my music business, but I've already performed on Mothers' Day at the Bundy PCYC markets and was very well received.  I'm waiting to be called to perform at Rick's at Bargara, right opposite the beach, and is a very popular venue for breakfast, lunch and dinners, featuring live music over the weekend.

In order to get myself known, I'm willing to give venues a trial to see if I meet their requirments at a very special cost, so if you're looking for classy entertainment for dining, "morning melodies" or whatever, please feel free to give me a shout by phone or email, or leave an inquiry on these pages.

Talk soon!
