Then we shall have Joe Ahern and Juliet Backman also playing their original country, pop and folk songs. This will be a great evening of local songwriters!

Happy to report that I will be playing for Adelaide City Council to celebrate Make Music Day.
This year I am back at The Lion Hotel in North Adelaide, Saturday June 20. Start time is 4pm, a little later than last year, with a new lineup of artists:
4pm Paula Standing
5pm Jodi Martin
It is with regret and due to unforeseen circumstances, Glenn Skuthorpe is unavailable for this event.
More than 360 performers across 107 acts will take to 40 venues from morning to midnight. Part of a global movement that began in France a Fête de la Musique, Make Music Day celebrates the creativity, diversity and energy that define Adelaide as a UNESCO City of Music.
Lord Mayor Dr Jane Lomax-Smith said she was looking forward to another successful Make Music Day across the Adelaide CBD and North Adelaide following its debut last year.
The Crew and I will be playing at Cafe Komodo in Prospect on Friday night May 29
This time Glenn Butcher will be opening the first set at 6pm with a few songs after which, I will join him for a duet. For the end of the set, I have invited Sally Armstrong to accompany me with her fine fiddle. Sal will finish the set with an Ole Timey piece to set you all foot stomping.
The Crew, Stephen and Sheelagh Loss on guitar and banjo with Nigel Sweeting on double bass, will take the stage for the last two sets. The new album will feature along with some oldies, newbies and the now obligatory ‘surprise’ cover.
