24.01.2022 Amazing what you find when you do a big tidy up, and theres a lot of that going on right now. This is from a Messenger photo shoot in 2002 when we won the MO Award for Variety Entertainers of the Year. Oh, the hair!! Happy days

22.01.2022 So Im suddenly feeling a little old... Our "String Fevers World Cruise" show starts with our version of the theme from "The Love Boat". This morning as we were sound-checking, I suddenly thought to ask our 20-something year old sound tech "Have you ever heard this song before?" He said - "Sure - I heard it when you played it yesterday!"

21.01.2022 Freelance musician work uniform, March 2020.

Here it is just after sunrise at Adelaides iconic Montefiore Hill. Yes, it was an EARLY morning! Well post the full video when its done.

08.01.2022 It seems like 80% of the weddings we play at these days are outdoors. Ive written a blog about it .. http://www.adelaidestringduo.com.au/outdoor-weddings/

08.01.2022 Getting into gear for my upcoming Elton shows!

07.01.2022 Totally buzzed after an awesome show at Gawler Civic Centre tonight. Thanks to Sam and his team and Nivven Barlow on sound and lights. A super fun time was had by all!

07.01.2022 Heres a sign we like to see!

06.01.2022 Were right in Elton mode at the moment with a bunch of tribute shows coming up, starting with a dinner show THIS SATURDAY at the Oasis Gardens Restaurant & Function Centre near Strathalbyn SA. All the details are on our latest mailout (click below). Saturday nights alright! https://mailchi.mp//this-saturday-nights-alright-for-our-e

06.01.2022 We just bought a green van! Its not solar powered, or even electric. Its just green in colour. We love it! And yes, I am wearing a pyjama top - so sue me I work from home!

06.01.2022 Warming up for our very last show of the Out of the Square run 2019 here at the beautiful Shedley Theatre Elizabeth. Its also our last show of the week, and its only Monday

06.01.2022 So many people say "I love the cello" that I decided to write a blog about it. Its called "Everybody loves cello". They probably wouldnt love it so much if they had to carry one! https://www.thecelloguys.com.au/everybody-loves-cello/

05.01.2022 Just over a week til our Elton John show at Gawler Civic Centre . Tickets are selling fast - would be great to sell out! Dinner/show and show-only tix available from Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/crocodile-rocket-songs-stor

05.01.2022 Were really excited about our newly edited promo video for String Fevers World Cruise. Hopefully with this video well get the opportunity to tour this fun show around Australia. Please take a look - its only 4 minutes ;)

05.01.2022 I have to admit that playing quietly isnt my fort #musicianjokes

03.01.2022 So Jacqui had a really funny idea. A few times over the years venues have booked us for a show, only to cancel the booking a few weeks out due to low tickets sales. This has particularly happened with respect to our Elton show, for some reason. Because of this phenomenon we now insist on a 50% non-refundable deposit. We think this is quite reasonable, because once we block a date were unavailable for other offers. Its even trickier if were also booking subcontractors for th...e gig like musicians and technicians. We figure If the venue wont pay the 50% its an indication that cancellation is a real possibility for them. Otherwise paying 50% wouldnt be a problem. Were not talking about millions of dollars here! Anyhow, the other day a venue did approach us about an Elton John tribute show, but wouldnt come at the 50% deposit. So Jacquis idea - just between us - was: Why dont we get the venue to do all the promotion they can and see how ticket sales go. Then, once theyre happy enough with sales they can approach us and see if WERE still available! Sounds like a plan!

01.01.2022 Check this out - we REALLY need the views - lol! See story below..

01.01.2022 Friday nights alright. Well be rocking Gawler tomorrow.. Love to see you there https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/crocodile-rocket-songs-stor

01.01.2022 We had a great time performing our ELTON show last night at the wonderful Oasis Gardens Restaurant & Function Centre in Langhorne Creek (near Strathalbyn). Thanks so much to everyone who came and Chris and Michael for inviting us and treating us so well. The dinner was amazing!!
