19.01.2022 Last week, ABC Classic featured my recording of Cavatina as the daily Musical Hug for folks around Australia experiencing distance from loved ones.

10.01.2022 The very first performance of my Australian Music Composition Competition took place on this day back in 2014. Since then, I’m proud to have commissioned 16 works as a direct result of the competition from some of the country’s great leading and emerging composers.

09.01.2022 A flashback to a review from Classical Guitar Magazine when my Songs of Yesterday album was released by ABC Classic. "The playing is first-rate and full of life all the way through. If you’re looking for an album brimming with and about love, this sensuous hour-long album is sure to appeal to you."

08.01.2022 Visual artist Sue Needham has just shared a picture of her recent work. Hanging in her home, this column and matching Seashores painting is just stunning, right?! Sue’s work has been the inspiration work for composers in my Australian Music Composition Competition and the cover art of a few of my albums. Sue certainly takes commissions and a set like this would be a gorgeous feature to a home!... www.SueNeedhamArtist.com
