The weekend with Alessi was a fantastic experience - performing with him in the recital was a great honour. During his excerpts masterclass I managed to record a clip of him playing the solo from Bolero (!!!!). Check it out at YouTube.

Melbourne International Festival of Brass 2007

This year’s MIFB was the first I have been able to attend - but I will never miss one again. Not only did I get to meet-chat with-drink with two of my favourite musicians, Ralph Sauer and Wycliffe Gordon, but was also exposed to the genius of many other local and international artists; most noticeably the renowned Mnozil Brass. I have never been so inspired. Go to www.mifb.com.au and themusicpage.com to keep tabs on the next MIFB in 2008. I’ll be there with bells on.

APRA Membership

I am very happy to announce that I have recently been elected a Writer Full Member of the Australasian Performing Rights Association, more affectionately known as APRA.

May I encourage all out there who write music which is being performed to register with APRA, it’s free and *not* being a member only denies you your royalties. A colleague of mine recently released an album with some of his own tracks, it’s selling well, getting airplay on radio and also live performances…..but he’s not a member yet!
