Australian song writing and world music at it's very best!


 

Dear Friends,
Happy New Year to all!

More peace, more happiness, more justice. More good intentions, more great music, more love.

A sweltering summer’s day in Byron Bay on Australia’s Pacific coast. Skies blue and golden. Parissa and I are at our base camp by the Belongil creek sitting before the whirring fans, sweat dripping on to our guitars.

The year ahead promises some thrills for us. In 2010 our new CD ‘Out of Australia’ will be released by the German label Stockfisch records. Parissa will be conducting the Ruby Tuesdays choir in Byron Bay and performing with her band ‘Diaspora Latina’ I am working on a follow up to my book ‘Tarab, Travels with my guitar’ which has received a great reception. There will be appearances at festivals and workshops.

But mostly it will be a year of stretching our wings. We will be living in Berlin during the second half of the year, touring throughout Germany, before departing for South America where we plan to be until well into 2011, based in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. It will thus be a time that we will have the joy of reconnecting with many friends and fans all over.

‘till then, have a wonderful 2010
January, 2010
