Described as a classic song writer with powerful delivery and stage presence, I have developed my unique approach to songwriting built around the sheer power and beauty of the 12 string guitar. Open guitar tunings, hypnotic keyboard drones coupled with my baritone vocals lay a solid, evocative foundation for my songs. I perform solo or with my band DarkLight, showcasing a repertoire weighted towards my originals. The band lineup consists of myself (12 string guitar/keys/vocals) and Belle Stewart (drums/harmony vocals). DarkLight currently performs at selected venues around the Byron Shire. Recorded at Karma Sound Studios (Thailand) and Brett Hamlyns' Deva Studio (Australia), my album "Wheel Of Life" was completed in 2014.In 2000 I was appointed Contemporary Music Tutor for Mitchell Conservatorium (NSW), and for twelve years taught guitar, electric bass, music theory, song-writing and improvisation to a wide variety of students of all ages and abilities.Hailing originally from Wainuiomata New Zealand, I began playing guitar and bass in schoolboy bands and later studied orchestration, music theory and history at Victoria and Otago Universities. In the early eighties I left for Australia and initially taught guitar at Waverley Woollahra Arts Centre (Bondi, Sydney). A move to the Central West of NSW initiated an invitation to work as Contemporary Music Tutor for the renowned Mitchell Conservatorium of Music. I held this position for 12 years instructing guitar and bass performance, music theory and song-writing. Concurrently I directed the busy Parkes Music Studio over a 25 year period which had enormous impact on the local music scene.
