One of the things I really loved about life in NYC was experiencing music in small intimate venues. Musicians became everyday people sharing their art - not idols at a distance parading their product. When I started this series (@pgpresents) 4 years ago I wanted the public and students @peninsulagrammar to have this same experience. There’s no better education than being inside a culture where great things are up close, accessible and a part of everyday life ... the reason why artists move to big cities... I’d set out in the hope that just one moment might change the course of a child’s life, however a mere four years in, it’s humbling to see the impact a culture injection like this has had on students and their families. I never imagined being at a school where it’s now totally normal to write and produce your own music, play the violin in orchestra and then arrange your peer’s music on a modular synth after some jazz at lunch. Can’t wait for the fifth year of inspiring artists to tell us their stories. #createyourlocalculture @harryjamesangus @didirri_ @tim_mcmillan @wanderingfrog @kungfucellist @nimsaysamantha @jackjackearle #grigoryanbrothers @affinitycollective @sanniamusic

When you stumble across a piece of your life from a decade ago! This was the first show I ever sang and played the cello in - we sold out 3 nights at the old @butterflyclubmelb doing arrangements of all our favourite tunes - it was a huge learning curve for me at the time yet now seems so obviously a starting point for so much that I’ve done since. Good times! @naomilouisevaudrey @hughmiddleton @j_l_hodson
Comedy charts make you smile. @sammyj_comedian official band 🤓🎻🎸this weekend - google it. @tisdoody
What an epically surreal 3 days. @ashbarpiano and I set up here three days ago and have walked out with a 12 track new classical record of original music - engineered and mixed by yours truly. Genuinely excited for everyone to hear this record. I’ve never done anything this quickly yet somehow being in this space, just the two of us, turned three days into a creative week. Genuinely greatful for #beleurahouse and #Anthonyknight for introducing me to @ashbarpiano - definitely utilised all 210 keys! (Ps My #DL4 obviously freaked out at the company of instruments and packed it in, in the first hour... ) @stuartandsons @earthworksaudio @neumann.berlin @akgaudio @uaudio @bluemicrophones @moogsynthesizers @nudemicrophones @dynaudio @radialeng @tcelectronic @digitechfx
Second show added! Getting ready for @sammyj_comedian ‘s new live record - butterflyclub for tickets. Took this guy for some dawn waves before morning rehearsal - watch out #kellyslater
Later 2018. Been a good one! Feels like it’s been a year of great duo experiences - thanks @xani.k #kristianwinther, #howardpenny @amylehpamer @sammyj_comedian @roscoejamesirwin @ashbarpiano - had fun doing records for @martinloyatosmusic @annacordellmusic @sagerosaliemusic and a blast presenting the @melbournesymphonyorchestra regional education tour... (flossing with the MSO... bucket list material). Wrote and performed my first full concert duo suite for two cellos and presented first ever #stringersongwriter residency. Thanks to my awesome wife @naomilouisevaudrey for the amazing support and beautiful family I get to come home to. Let’s do this 2019.

When you set up a residency to build a community of like minded #stringersongwriter s the best you can hope for is that the Northern Territory’s only singing cellist hears about it. Excited to say that @xaviamusic will be making her way all the way to Melbourne on Dec21st to be a part of our residency @longplaybar! Check out her music on Spotify and get your tickets for these great 3 nights starting next FRIDAY! Dec 7th.
