Feb 2018 shows in NSW-QLD and Vic more WORKSHY launches.

2017 ended on a high note with a fantastically enjoyable run of dates around Sydney and an equally fine trip to Perth and Fremantle.

Our 5th annual Boxing Day show in Adelaide at the Metro was the best yet! Though we only do it as a public service, a valuable social valve we've opened for people who desperately need to let some steam off at that time of the year.

For Christmas I was given a handlettered Hi Vis jacket with WORKSHY written on it by Adelaide friends Rolf and Sybille.

Below  is a still from a shoot we did a couple of weeks ago for this film in development, a documentary on Clare Moore and myself and our work over the last three (and counting) decades. Nick Cowan kicked it off with a pozible campaign a while ago and it's moving forward. Saw a fantastic teaser clip for it as the production people Nick, Mark Patterson and Matthew Bates go to get further funding. Very flattered , of course. They did a great job on it.

 Another snap from the film teaser shoot. We were at Her Majestys Theatre in Adelaide. They will be knocking it all down soon. Well, keeping the facade and renovating it.

Bummed to hear of actor Peter Wyngarde's passing. What a list of giants passed in 2017? Walter Becker, Chuck Berry, Glen Campbell, Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks, J Geils. RIP, comrades!

We've been writing and playing music. I've been experimenting with some slide guitar as well as aquainting myself with an autoharp that I bought last year. Seems to take a half hour to tune it every time you pick it up. I'm playing slide on this guitar I bought for $6 in an op shop in Ararat. It is covered in One Direction stickers which only adds more blues to it , for me. I strung it with nylon strings and tuned it to open G. 

It sounds quite lovely with the nylons. Strictly for house playing though. Too special to take out on the road.

Another from the film shoot. I really hope the funding comes through. These guys are a great team. And Clare Moore is a fascinating subject!

There will be a new single coming out soon and work will begin on a 2018 album. 

Also, Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes have been added to the bill of a festival near Newcastle called GUMBALL in late April...   Stay tuned!
