Hi, well here we are well into March and there’s not very much to report on the gig front. I’m having a few weekends off and hanging at the beach with friends, so it’s not all bad. However, there is one very unusual event looming. 18 Wheels is doing a gig for the first time in, let’s see, maybe 15 years or so! This gig will be taking place at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, in the Ian Hanger recital hall, on March 20 at 6pm, $15 for adults and $10 concession. Some of you may remember our Sunday night gigs at the Zoo way back in the 90s, where we indulged ourselves with country music from the 40s to the 70s and eventually started to write some of our own tunes. We are so looking forward to this one, it’s going to be big fun to revisit that stuff.

Later in the month I’m appearing at the Toowoomba Jazz Club with my colleagues from USQ, Melissa Forbes and Bruce Woodward, and we’ll be joined by Joe Marchisella on drums – that one’s on Friday March 27.

On the uni front, it’s nice to finally have some students to teach at USQ now that the semester has begun!

Hope to see some of you at one of these gigs, I think the 18 Wheels one could be a huge catch-up event!
