New video and free download - Is this love (Bob Marley cover) If you've seen me play this song at a show, you'll probably already know that I got asked to learn it to play at a friend's wedding (thanks Amanda & Bobby!). Credit also goes to the stunning Corinne Bailey Rae and her band for the idea of putting the song in to 6/8 timing. I absolutely fell in love with the song all over again and had so much fun with this arrangement. A few folk asked if I would consider recording my version, so here it is... |

"Singers and Musicians are some of the most driven, courageous people on the face of the earth..."
Thanks William for sharing this with me!! Now I'm sharing with you all, in case you haven't seen it yet :) "Singers and Musicians are some of the most driven, courageous people on the face of the earth. They deal with more day-to-day rejection in one year than most people do in a lifetime. Every day, they face the financial challenge of living a freelance lifestyle, the disrespect of people who think they should get real jobs, and their own fear that they'll never work again. Every day, they have to …
Holidays and rest, finally! But first...
Whoever said being a self manged, independant artist was all hard work? Well... Whoever he or she is, they're certainly right! Okay, so maybe there's some fun and sun and beers in there along the way, but I gotta tell ya, it's tough going. The past couple of years have been non stop and pretty intense for me, getting the EP recorded and out there - I've done 3 tours and a heap of gigs in the past 12 months alone. And yes, I've done it all (mostly) alone! Don't get me …
MCG Footy Finals, Festivals & East Coast Tour!
"Do one thing every day that scares you" Eleanor Roosevelt Hi everyone! Well, I have hosted just about every cold and flu that’s been floating around over the last few months, so lots of down time means there is now lots to catch up on... Starting with filling you all in! (Basically, all you’ve missed is buckets full of snotty tissues, so lets forget what’s passed and skip straight to what’s coming up…!) MCG – Footy Finals The footy finals are upon us …
Now what...?
So far, since thinking about starting this blog, I have updated numerous things on my facebook page and twitter, replied to people, messaged people, even updated parts of my website… What is it with starting a blog post?! Hey, look at that – I’ve started! Okay, so that’s that out the way… Now, where were we… ? Oh yes, the tour! What an amazing time I had!! I actually enjoyed driving around the countryside on my own and I dare say there might be a song or two born …
The tour so far...
Wow, I am really loving being on the road!! It's been so amazing to find some cool new venues, connect with some really great people (and fellow musicians) and catch up with a bunch of friends and family along the way. Song Summit in Sydney was just amazing and so, so inspiring. I was busting to play some tunes by the time I got to Brisbane and the first gig was really fun and well received. "Brew" in the city centre is a hidden gem with amazing food and coffee and, now, live …
