Music: Ray Charles, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Temples, Jefferson Airplane, The Black Keys and Australian musicians like Tame Impala, Ash Grunwald, Wolfmother, Pond and anything cosmic sounding.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting in a car and driving around Oz.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play and maybe teach drum kit and a bit of trumpet. I could give you a burl on the old didgeridoo too.

Our juggling is limited, but we can teach you what we know.

We have a dog that we are willing to share, I bet he can teach a thing or two!
