So I finally got around to launching my EP in Sydney in late June.  I had noticed that there was a brand new Christian music venue called ‘Gospel Live’ was opening up in Manly & I gave the organisers a call & had a great chat to them.  A few days later they rang me back to ask if I’d like to play & told me that Geoff Bullock was headlining along with the lovely Zoe Elliott.

So here’s where I got really excited.  Geoff Bullock was the first Christian CD I ever owned & I share a publisher with him but I’d never seen him live.  I’d met him once for coffee & a chat early this year so I was really looking forward to hearing his songs & stories.

So I very quickly rounded up a band consisting of Rich Fenton (of Garage Hymnal), Dave Thomas (of Huntings) & Tim Chavura (who I used to play with in In Retrospect).  We rehearsed on the day at the venue a few hours before the event & I couldn’t believe how great these guys were on such short notice.  You can see & hear for yourself below or a few more videos are on the Video page.

The night had a huge amount of radio support & sponsorship from Hope 103.2 & was a success with a sell out opening for the venue.  Zoe wowed us all with her incredible voice & such presence & poise on stage, Geoff was captivating with his stories of faith & how he came to write such powerful songs & the crowd were responsive & appreciative.  I couldn’t have asked for a more incredible launch.  Thanks to all of you who came & supported the night.
