Blog from Australia
Hi Folks,
Just thought I’d check in and let you know what I’ve been up to the last few weeks. Since arriving on the 4th September I have been on the other side of the world in sunny Australia. The picture you see is the view from my apartment in Bondi Beach.
Its been an amazing trip which has taken in some fantastic writing sessions with some great artists such as Lakyn Heperi and Megan Washington. This week I’m part of an international songwriting week organised by the folks at APRA(Australia’s answer to PRS they collect royalties for Australian artists and writers and offer all kinds of support) which brought me together yesterday with U.S producer/writer Premo Danger and Top Australian artist Timomatic.
Earlier on in the month I had a great time up in Brisbane for Bigsound. It was an honour to meet Powderfingers Ian Haug,watch Steve Earle give an inspiring speech and discover the vocal talents of Catherine Britt. My own show at The Black Bear Lounge was a great success and I’d like to thanks everyone for coming down. During my time in Sydney I’ve also been playing every Thursday at Rock Lily and played a couple of packed out shows at The Beresford in Surry Hills. I’m in the home straight now and I’m getting ready to see my wife Lisa and kids Cillian and Niamh but I’ll leave with great memories and look forward to the next trip down under!
See You Soon
