I was asked to perform at the NSW Department of Education’s Back to School event in Sydney! It was an amazing experience! I played Tommy Emmanuel’s arrangement of Day Tripper and Lady Madonna. 🥳

Schools Spectacular 2023! I was so privileged to be able to play Tommy Emmanuel’s arrangement of Somewhere Over the Rainbow on such a huge stage with the most incredible support crew and fellow artists. Thank you!

School spectacular 2023 was on last weekend and I had the most amazing time. It was an absolute privilege to play Tommy Emmanuel’s arrangement of Somewhere over the Rainbow in such a huge stadium! I also played Stayin Alive in a rock band which was so much fun and the last song was super cool and called Fabulous! There are no words to express how grateful I am for this experience. Every single part of this show is incredible from the coaching and support to the life long friends I have made. Here is a short video of sneak peaks. It will be broadcast on channel 7, December 9th, 7pm. Can’t wait!! 🥳

Sunrise interview from this morning. 😂
My interview on Sunrise this morning 😊😂.

Opened for a very cool band last night with a few fingerstyle tunes! 😀

Just started working on something new. I was given a challenge to learn this song and it’s completely different to anything I have ever done. It’s Playing God by Polyphia.

It’s my birthday today and I was lucky enough to see Tommy Emmanuel live a couple of days ago! It’s been 4 years and he is better than ever! Such an amazing performer with incredible stage presence. I was very inspired by Tommy’s playing so decided to come home and learn a very beautiful song he played in the show. It’s called Sail On and he wrote it the night his brother Phil died 😔. I absolutely love this tune. Here is little video. (Excuse the raw footage and the household noise in the background.)

I have just had the best week in Sydney playing in the showband for Pulse Alive! It was the most amazing experience getting to play alongside such talented musicians and I loved every moment of it. It was so exciting backing such incredible singers and I even got to play a couple of solos. Here is a video of some snippets from the show.

Last night was the finale of the NSW Schools Spectacular! I have had the best time and met the most amazingly talented people. Such a great experience! I can’t wait to see how it all looks on tv in a few weeks time. It all started last April and now it’s done! I’m going to miss everyone a lot. Here is a short video from last night.
