Great fun had by all, pickin¹ and a grinnin¹ all day long with a group of like-minded enthusiastic individuals! Regular readers would know that for the past 6 years I have been running a 1-week guitar course at Grafton, as part of their annual artsfest. Due to overseas commitments, I won¹t be conducting the course this year, but my good friend Jason McGregor <http://people.aapt.net.au/~jodyandjason/> will take over the tutor role. Jason is an exceptional player & experienced teacher. Speaking of Jason, he has been responsible for putting together the notation for my new song folio. Gruelling work, but he has done a wonderful job. I think he knows my tunes better than me! The book Michael Fix Noted! should be available mid-August. I¹m still fine-tuning tracks for my new CD, also to be released in August. Title is Rewind and it¹s a look back at my 15-year solo recording career, featuring new recordings of tracks from all eight releases, from 1991 to 2005. This CD will be released locally through Fret Music, and internationally on the prestigious German label Acoustic Music. (The next e-news will have more details). The other piece of news to share is that I was recently awarded ³Artist of 2007² at the Mt Beauty Music Festival.

Well, apart from appearances at Music by the Sea (Qld), Tumbafest (NSW), and Port Fairy Folk Festival (Vic) with Hat Trick. All fantastic events. Hat Trick at Port Fairy was a highlight, with wildly enthusiastic audiences, bringing back memories of the Oolden days¹ - 1980s - when we last performed together on a regular basis. I¹ve been hard at work in the studio writing and producing tracks for use on various TV programs, as well as co-writing songs every style from jazz, blues, country and rock. Also working on my own new CD planned for mid-2007 release on a major German record label. A songbook is in the pipeline, and plans for a major Europe tour (later this year) are progressing well.

Hello friends, and welcome to the final 2006 international edition of my enews. I¹d like to take the opportunity to thank you for the support you¹ve given me over the past 12 months. It¹s been a fantastic year, I¹ve visited so many new cities & towns, met many of you along the way, and have formed many special friendships. I¹m taking a break from touring till February. I¹m spending some time at home, working on some recording projects, including my own new CD planned for mid-2007 release. A songbook is also in the pipeline, as are plans for more Europe tours next year. Last night I attended the Brisbane launch of a new short film The Music Recommenders <http://www.nokia.com/A4136001?newsid=1077784> directed by acclaimed filmmaker Wim Wenders <http://www.wim-wenders.com/> (Paris, Texas) and narrated by David Bowie. Featured in the film are my good friends Ron & Rosie Adsett from the Country Music Store <http://store.countrymusic.com.au/> (Charlotte St, Brisbane), who have been supporters of Indie artists like myself for many years. There¹s also some footage of Australian icon Jimmy Little <http://www.jimmylittle.com.au/> , which was shot in studio. Keep an eye out for it a must for music lovers. Also a personal thanks and public acknowledgement of some people who are instrumental in my career (small pun intended!) These folks support and encourage, and their contribution to my career is much appreciated: Maton Guitars, D¹Adarrio strings - Musiclink, AER amplification Messiah Music Italia So, to you all, I wish you Merry Christmas, Buon Natale, frohe Weihnachten and a safe and happy holiday season.

Hello friends, and welcome to another international edition of my enews. I¹m just back from my Italy/Germany tour, another fantastic trip filled with wine, food, great company, and somewhere amongst all that, some music was played! Many highlights: sell-out concerts in Wuppertal, Rietberg and Udine, a packed house concert in a vet surgery in Dortmund, (with operating theatre lights providing suitable ambience), watching my friend Jason McGregor (my guest at a number of shows) blossom into a confident (and occasionally multi-lingual) performer. Check out Jasons entertaining tour blog at his myspace site: http://www.myspace.com/jasonmcgregormusic While we were in Milan, we were filmed and interviewed by Alberto Biraghi, a leading music journalist, who amongst other things, hosts Italys largest guitar web site, as well as a blog site.

HmmS maybe better not to look! It¹s been an incredibly busy year, and I¹m going to take some time off the road to spend with family, and work on some new recording projects, so these are my last shows for 2006:

Hi again, It’s been a busy month completing album projects, finalizing tours for the latter part of the year, and preparing for my trip to Europe. Details below…
Hi everyone, I’m back from my Europe tour. It was, as always, fantastic and inspiring. I make new friends, learn a bit more Italian, visit incredible cities and play in some amazing concert venues. Still, it’s great to be back home. Exciting concert event in Sydney; Harp Hotel, 900 Princes Hwy Tempe with another Hat Trick re-union, this time we’re launching a CD Hat Trick- a retrospective. For those who don’t know, I was a member of this band in the 80s. A snippet from our press release: “Over the years 1982-1991 that the band worked full-time in the Sydney music scene, many tried to categorise them. Words like eclectic, classical/rock, folk/rock still were not able to capture the band’s essence. With a twin-violin assault, and a rock’n’roll rhythm section, Hat Trick created an exciting and joyous sound by drawing on songs by Celtic folk-rockers Steeleye Span, and Fairport Convention, original rocked up arrangements of “Classical chartbusters” (Mozart, Beethoven, Bach et al), 80s fusion/classical group Sky, as well as bluegrass standards and original songs, all delivered with a healthy dose of humour. “We didn’t think in terms of genre or categories. All we knew was that we were having an immense amount of fun doing whatever it was that kept the crowds coming back.” Hi Everyone, A quick note to let you know about some events coming up, starting with my first ever Celebration of Guitar concert in Brisbane, presented by myself, 7th Dimension, & Allans Music Academy, this coming Sunday.
