So we all got through Christmas unscathed... well hopefully... I'm trusting Christmas was good to you all. It's been pouring all day in my neck of the woods but the sun shines on the MCG. Sometimes it feels like our street gets rained on more than most.
It's been a busy year and a fruitful one musically, I've met a lot of wonderful folk around the country and played some incredible shows along the way. Thanks to all of you who turned up to the shows, pledged for bits and pieces and have bought the 'Wounded Bird' CD... or the snowdome... or tea-towel... Also for all the radio support and best of lists for 2014 I crept into... a big, big thanks.
2015 The year begins for me musically in Red Hill, down the Mornington Peninsula at a monthly musical gathering called MOTH.
Music On The Hill takes place on January 2 at The Red Hill Pavilion, tickets available here.
I'll be performing solo with special guests - Ruby Whiting and David O'Connell.
Next, I'm heading up to Sydney for an intimate private Acoustic House Concert in mid-February and slipping into a small venue called The Newsagency in Marrickville for two shows in the one night. It's a very small venue and a BYO event. There's an early show and a late show so you can take your pick. Tickets should be on sale soon..! It's on Friday February 13, hopefully I'll see you there, pencil it in the diary.
Next up will be a supper show gig with the majestic JP Shilo at glorious The Yarra Hotel on Thursday, February 19. The Yarra Hotel is on Johnston St, Abbotsford, run by Mick Thomas. Warm and friendly, a pub with a truckload of character. The food is delicious too. Try here for tickets.
Then JP and I are off to Adelaide to play at The Garden of Unearthly Delights in The Spiegeltent on Sunday, March 1 for an early evening performance - 7pm as part of The Adelaide Fringe Festival. For tickets head here... looking forward to it
Goodbye 2014, hello 2015.
