WHAT HE'S DONE:

Distinguished Music Maestro

One of Brisbane's most accomplished arrangers, composers and accompanists.
He has written for the screen and television and worked hard to hold his place in an industry that is sadly lacking in career opportunities for gifted people.
His contribution to Brisbane Unplugged is enormous.
He adds evocative melodies and sounds to the show's spoken words and lyrics, and often frosts the satire with a wickedness of his own.
He sings too and delivers one brilliant example of his jazzy keyboard expertise.
This guy is the ultimate Music Man...and he loves every note he plays!
