The biggest news I have is that after years of procrastination I am finally recording a studio CD. It's turned out to be a really exciting and enjoyable project and I can't thank Ian Blakeney enough for his expertise, wisdom and humour. He's keeping me on track at the I.B. Studios in Carlton, while the lovely Efro plies me with seriously good coffee and biscuits. It looks like the CD will be available in late May.

The cruises are going really well - I'm so enjoying meeting new audiences and musicians. It's also giving me a great opportunity to work on new material and develope the live show. Again, huge thanks to everyone at Grayboy for their support!

I owe a huge debt of thanks to eveyone who voted for me in the 2007 A.C.E. Awards. I don't know how to express how I feel about your kindness, support and effort each year. Simply being nominated is something that makes me once again grateful for the opportunities that Australia, its artists and audiences has given me. THANK YOU to each and every one of you.

The wonderful Darryl Talbot of Barlow Music remains brilliantly helpful in supplying stacks of new songs for me to work at and I'm really looking forward to continuing to roll them out!
