I am a singer-songwriter who enjoys writing about the places I have been and the folks met along the way. Other than music, my favourite pastimes include long distance travel by motorcycle and racing my yacht, Ambience, a Lotus 10.6, out of Fremantle Sailing Club. I write folk-roots tunes flavoured with pop, jazz, blues. I have my own home studio and in 2022 release my fifth album "Timing and Expectation" .
I'm interested in hearing from any artists that may wish to accompany me, perform my songs or getting together for jamming/gigging. I'm also interested in making contact with other songwriters.
I have even been known to chuck a few covers into my set lists.

Sandy Bay Shore
Sandy Bay Shore Album: Songs in the Key of Sea Genre: Folk
I lived in Hobart, Tasmania, between 1970 and 1976. The Tasmanian Wooden Boat Festival is one of Hobart's many charms that draw me back to this magical city. While researching accommodation options around Battery Point and Sandy Bay, I fell in love with Old Hobart Town and was inspired to write, Sandy Bay Shore, a whaler's tale set in the mid 19th century.
