Music!!!

Some experiences:

 My services have been required for many wedding ceremonies over the years both in Mackay and Rockhampton. 

Since 1986 I have been in various bands, Christian bands, which performed for many events including Aus Spirit 88, Reclaiming Easter celebrations, Youth Encounter Conventions, Christmas carols and many other camps, conventions, and conferences. When I had released my own CD, I sang at yet more conventions etc. as a solo and as support for touring Australian Christian artist as well as international artist such as Kenny Marks.   I was asked to sing at the Australian Gospel Music festival held in Toowoomba, Easter 1999. I performed 2x 20min spots in their street festival. (Well know artists including Rick Price were involved in this).

Professional entertainment


ENTERTAINMENT WORK HISTORY

1997-1999   Entertainer, (Singer / pianist)

I worked for some time at Malcolm’s Restaurant, Rockhampton, and up till leaving Rockhampton on the 1st of May 1999 had been working at Palmers Restaurant, Leichardt Hotel, Rockhampton.  This employment was one night a week.  It required sensitivity and balance.

1999-2003   Entertainer, (Singer / pianist)

When I returned to Mackay, I worked at various places including;

The Ocean International; Coco’s bar and bistro; The Shamrock Hotel;

Brothers league club; Sarina surf life saving club;

Western suburbs league club; Kohuna beach resort; and also many wedding ceremonies. In 2003 I've performed at the Coffee Club, Satchmo's and the Church on Palmer.  

With the Jazz department of the Conservatorium (CQCM), I have performed at many various venues on Hamilton Island, both as part of a group and as a solo artist, and also in Cairns, Rocky and Yeppoon.

 

In 2004 I performed at regularly at the Platinum lounge for some time, and provided entertainment for some private functions such as cocktail parties, school fairs and fashion parades.

 

 

I have had the opportunity at some of these functions to have my two daughters perform with me for show case style occasions, such as the Mackay festival of Arts 2003 and at the opening of a Christian bookstore in Biloela.

However, they have sung with me often for wedding ceremonies.  The younger of my daughters also plays flute and the elder plays guitar.

Singing in Caneland Shopping Centre to promote my CD "Stand in the Breeze"

How the CD came to be-

*          My major interest is my music and song writing for which I received a subsidized recording of my own songs due to a song writing competition. This album was called "Stand in the Breeze."
