About Me

Ok, I haven't updated this for a year or so, so i'd better slip in some current content.
Did a course in Music Production at Tafe in 2005-2006. Great fun for a learning course. I came out the other end with an advanced diploma.
I am now working my way through the music business course at Tafe, I will get back to you at a later date to tell you how I went.
Played guitar, bass and a bit of keyboards for more years than you will get me to admit here. I have a home studio here on the farm and am deeply in the thro's of coming to terms with Cubase and Reason, after years of using a tape machine.
I run a web site called
NewcastleBandsDatabase
that is trying to chronicle all the bands from Newcastle Australia from the 60's onward. It has lineups photo's biographies, web links and a discography. Click on the logo to your left and come on down and check it out. The URL is

I am starting to forge a career in stage management and have done some biggies like Strikeback, The Peats Ridge Festival, Loaded, The High Voltage series, Newcastle Blues Festival, The Gumball, Cultural Stomp, and A Day for Newcastle.
My ultimate goal is to do The Big Day Out.....
