Why am I writing this? Why do you think I feel this is important? Do you think I have the time for this? Don't you think I should be doing more important things like fixing the loose seat on the toilet or seeing to the squeaking fan belt in my car? I am writing this because I know full well that three or four of you out there want to know what the hell I've been up to since I last wrote.
Let me see..............
(How are all of you, by the way?)
We sadly lost one more goldfish not that long ago. We only have one of the original four now. We have discussed the possiblity of getting a few more but we haven't done it yet - it's just too hard when they go.
A very enjoyable show recently was the Compass Brothers House Concert at a funky little venue in Redfern, Sydney. I've posted a few photos of it in the picture section if you want a look. It was on the third floor and the lift was broken, so it was all stairs for the lot of us. Thankfully it was only an overnight stay, so I packed my spare shirt and toothbrush in my guitar case to save on luggage.
Roxanne Brown had me and Rob Black working our butts off going down and then back up the stairs. The trip down was fine, but on the way up we had to carry things like water, guitars and materials for assembling various salads that were served during the concert. Just when I'd sit down with a cool drink, Rox would come back and say, "Another trip down the stairs, lads- there's a drum kit and a bass amp that needs to come up!" And we'd both say,"No worries!" but we were really saying, "Aw shiiiit, Rox!"
Now in theory, if the record company is paying for food, drinks and the cost of the show, it is really the artists of that company who are paying for the whole turnout and the nice things there are to eat (and drink). I spent a while looking about and trying to work out what bits I'd paid for. I think I could safely say that I paid for the dry biscuits and the tomatoes.
The whole night was very enjoyable and we all felt proud to be part of a great team at Compass. There is a real family feel to it and I must say how much I have enjoyed the company of James Blundell lately. We have been doing some work togather along with Kirsty Lee Akers and Tamara Stewart (hell, those girls can sing!) James and I have shared several Lambrusco/tawny port crosses on cold nights and subsequently shared many tales and incredible theories that went well into the night(s).
Well done to Graham Thompson, Roxanne Brown and Kris Katsanis (and the rest!) who coordinated a very good evening in Redfern.

Allie has opened her vintage clothing shop in the beautiful town of Yackandandah in N/E Victoria and it is called Vintage Alley. She opened the doors for the first time on the 9th of August 2008 and it was a real success. It was a relief for both of us because although we were confident it would work, there is still that little voice inside your head saying that it may not.
So Allie is busy with the shop and things are busying up on the gig front. I did some shows recently with Sara Storer and her brother Greg in the Newcastle/Hunter Valley region. Greg has written some great songs and did a couple on the show which went over a treat. Hadn't worked with Sara for a couple of years so it was good to be on the road even if it was only for a few shows.
Back home now and will be doing the Camooweal Drovers' Camp with the Sunny Cowgirls this weekend (23rd) and the following weekend will be the Gympie Muster.
Talk soon.
Sayonara,
Pete

World Youth Day
I did a show at a school during World Youth Day in Sydney. I didn't really know what to expect, except for a lot of people from different countries walking around. What happened was I experienced two of the most inspiring days of my life. There was a buzz and high happening that was not caused by any man made substance and it was passed on to me as I walked through Hyde Park. I didn't get to see any of the big events as I was only there for a little while. The amazing thing was, I didn't know I was a pilgrim until I got there!
Congratulations to all involved and travel safely home!
