When’s the gig and with who?

So it’s myself and some special friends. Dom Byrne of New Gods and Little Red fame, he could be the best songwriter around and he never plays on his own, so it’s a special one. And Georgia Fair who are so good live and have hit a sweet spot with their new songs. And it’s at Bella Union, which is a treasure.

So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you… what do they say?

They say, ‘Is that fucking weirdo still around? I thought he would have given up or fucked off by now! What a persistent little maggot!’

What can a punter expect from your live show?

This Wednesday, it’s me singing and playing a piano, and a guitar maybe. And I’ll give it hell. My buddy Drew is going to get up for a bunch and I reckon the other boys on the bill will join me for a few numbers, too. I might play a new song or two, couple off my solo record, handful of Panics songs. I reckon I’ll play a couple I didn’t write. I’ll keep it festive I promise. You should definitely pop in.
