I’m happy it”s xmas. there’s nothing like a good old ritual to bring folks together. This year went past like a comet. I almost had to avert my eyes to see it.

I started playing intimate shows for Christmas a couple of years ago and now it”s also something I look forward to in December. I rarely play completely solo so it feels equally scary and exhilarating to be alone with no band members to blame mistakes on. This year I’ve decided to take it to some other cities round Australia for the first time, in Adelaide, Perth and Hobart.

Some of the shows will allow underage humans in if accompanied by an adult (please check with the venue first) so i encourage you to bring your family.

I know I’ve been threatening to stop playing and have a break from touring now for some time. I feel like a carpet shop that has a closing down sale and then reopens a month later. I can’t help myself. So who know’s, this time i could actually mean it. Need some time to make up new songs.

So hope to see you at a Christmas show near you. If not, at midnight mass…
