@ QVMAG

I was asked to interpret an exhibition of Australian landscape photographic images by the incredible Murray Fredericks at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston.

This photo was included in the Examiner's 2023 best photos of the year awards and was taken my friend Paul Scambler.

a dream come true

@ Launceston Library

I've always wanted to play a gig in a library. Being able to play really soft in a very quiet environment. I've been able to play a handful of duet gigs in my local library to very calm and attentive groups of people. Very special. Thank you Friends Of The Library.

This photo was taken by my dear friend Aris Kartsonas at a recent gig in Sydney. I love the look of relaxed cencentration on my face.

Aris played guitar on my album SEPARATE JOURNEYS.

MoFo is Tassie's very hip music festival.

'fighting with metal rods'

@ a tunnel in Launceston

I was playing shakuhachi with my sensei Yyan in a reverberant tunnel in Launceston. A police officer turned up and sighed frustratingly. He said, "I got a call to check out 'two men in the tunnel fighting with metal rods', I'm guessing that's you guys."
