NEWS: 2020     NEW BOOK - IMMERSED IN BLUES - A Musical Journey       

 

Someone has put up a Youtube tune of me playing backing guitar with blues harp virtuoso John McKittrick in 1972. John plays with an incredibly soulful feeling. Check it out here

I have also located some Sid Rumpo YouTube clips from the 70's. These can be found on the Sid Rumpo page under 'Bands'.

I have published a new book, Immersed in Blues, which is about my take on the Blues. It contains chapters on blues concepts, history,  record labels, seminal albums and blues players, together with a lot of my own thoughts about blues, according to my experiences with Sid Rumpo, The Elks and the Roosters. You can browse it on Amazon. If you wish to order it, please email me and I will sort it out.

There is a complimentary review from Perth's morning paper "The West Australian" online here. There is also a review by former Go-Set journalist and owner of Melbourne's "Archie & Jughead's" import record shop, David Pepperell, online here.

I have decided to offer most of my CDs as free MP3 downloads. Check them out here. I recommend that you browse my thoughts on the albums that follow the picture section on this page or, sample tracks from the individual album pages before you make your selections. I have also put the CD artwork up as PDFs for convenience.
