About Me

Doting father of three magical miracle girls...... Filmaker of some repute in certain circles...... Musician and singer/songwriter with The Infamous Speed Orange...... Erstwhile ringleader of the often Ill fated Pilgrims.
This is the video to my bands first single. We're called 'Speed Orange' and this tune is 'Oh Mama'. The video clip was shot in the West Melbourne suburb of Footscray on a Saturday afternoon. For more Speed Orange check out the friends section below.
Here's a video to an early demo of a Speed Orange tune called Everything's History. The song has had a million versions but this was the very first, recorded in a bedroom in the Flatlands near Cambridge with my friend Robert Howard on the desk. The video was made by four filmakers who made a quarter of the clip each, they didn't get to see each others work until it was sewn together to make the final clip, the only connectivity clue they were given was the inclusion of a pop up toaster in each section
I cant even begin to explain the following, my one and only short film as a director. It started out as a film about giving up cigarettes and ended up as the infamous baked bean saga. The soundtrack was played to a rough cut of the film being shown on a black and white telly. The very flexible and talented musicians...Dr. Robert and JJ
Nothing is as it seems, stay with this one...it actually happened and I have the broken ribs to prove it!

some fellow troubadours i chanced upon

Saturdays Speed Orange gig at the Penthouse Mouse was one that will live with us for a long time. Not just because we dropped a fired up rocket of a gig on an appreciative crowd, but because we met so...
