Here's what we've been doing lately!

Jeez, the year has gone so quickly... I wonder why?
It started with FF and National Junk Band gigs at the Woodford Folk Festival and then straight down to the Cygney Folk Festival in southern Tassie, a beautiful part of the country.
The FF and the Golden Fiddle Awards drew big crowds at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in January.
Meanwhile in Bloody Dog Studios.. The Jugalug String Band completed their second CD "Six Pack", the Mothers of Intention started their third CD and Warren Fahey's Larrikin's 10 ten CD history of Australian Folk Lore was nominated for best World Music CD at the2009 ARIAs!
The Larrikins journeyed to the Cobargo Folk Festival ... in Cobargo obviously! and then to wonderful Blue Mountains Folk Festival.. guess where? and St. Sat's, Seniors Week...more madness with Warren!
I had to escape! So with "Scotland the Brave" we travelled to a very cold Toronto and New York to perform at the Roy Thomson Hall and Lincoln Centre. I was lucky enough to premiere a couple of my works for fiddle and orchestra.. thanks to the generosity of Sean o'Boyle (Elyobo to his mates). What an incredible buzz!
I got to play a 400 year old Maggini violin.. amazing instrument. On my previous visit to Toronto I fulfilled a lifetime dream of playing a Stradivarius and and Petrus Guarneri!
Two weeks later, back home in Sydney Annalisa Kerrigan and I performed at the Angel Place Recital Hall... one of the best stage's I've ever performed on!
The Larrikins opened the Archibalds and Jugalug wowed them at the Sydney Jazz Club.
I have a confession to make.....I also play in a Greek Band.. Balcano (with bouzouki maestro George Doukas) did a trio of gigs at the Vanguard and Cafe Carnival, we're working on a live CD of the performances.
The NJB and FF performed at QIRKZ, Yaron Hallas' fabulous art-deco venue.
In July I worked on the Sydney Theatre production of "Poor Boy" featuring the music of Tim Finn, what a treat!
In August Jugalug (described in the local paper as the hit of the festival) drove to Bellingen for the Jazz Festival, then to newcastle for the Jazz Festival there.
Annalisa Kerrigan and I performed some local Sydney gigs with Hugh Jackman's Musical director Michael Tyach!
At the Australian Children's Music Foundation Annual Ball I joined Don Spencer on stage with Bernard Fanning, Tom Burlinson and Leo Sayer completing a star filled charity night.
Martin Erdman and Jimmy little with fiddlers Feast re-recorded the 60s hit "Telephone to Glory" and John Waters also joined with the FF for a recording date.
Somewhere amoungst all this Mirusia Louwerse and I(we met in Scotland the Brave) had drinks to gether Andre Rieu on their recent promo tour...French wine of course!
In September, Diesel (Mark Lizzotte) stripped back his band to him and string quartet, so I reworked the 14 years of charts for a truly memorable night at Notes in Newtown with Calre O'Meara joining us on violin
Jugalug, Balcano and the NJB performed locally and Annalisa Kerrigan, George Washingmachine, Garry Steel travelled to Boorowa for the Running of the Sheep....no-one was hurt! then to Bathurst and Wagga Wagga.
In November I was invited to teach at the Celticanz just outside Auckland in NZ. What fun..I'm looking forward to more travels around that wonderful country. If you interested, they organize fiddle teaching tours to Spain later in the year. I am thinking of taking some players over there with me?
