Blank Instrument

This is my dear friend Julie who passed away in 2023. Some of you may know that she generously and lovingly left me money in her will for my music. The result is my forthcoming album Jumping At Ghosts. This year in 2026, I will be finally sharing these songs with you and I can't wait! You can read more about my friend and the album on the blank instrument website on the page 'Julie'.

Grief is a strange beast - you never know when it's going to invite itself for dinner. It's been a few difficult weeks for Todd and me as we have both had bereavements in our families. For this reason, we wont be playing the open mic at H***y Tonk on 10 November.

I wrote the song Tears Still Flow, when a dear friend of mine passed away in 2023, and it seems appropriate to share it with you now. Recorded at Sundown Studios as part of the Jumping at Ghosts sessions, this is the first mix. Would love to know what you think.

We just returned from a relaxing long weekend in Jurien Bay. We had been waiting for a break and made sure we spent time doing nothing! We were lucky that the weather was gorgeous, so we had some nice walks and visited the Pinnacles. I'm yet to see most things in WA; wherever I go, the landscape is always interesting and beautiful. It's great being away, but it's also great to come home to my little house and the boys.
