New dawns in old places. Back to the sea at last.


Wednesday May the 29th ~

The first of these many free fiascos occurs this evening at Palmer & Co - a place almost as gnarly as the ancient Sydney Red Gum above. 10PM til 1.30AM.


Thursday May the 30th ~

After dreaming up the notion of a convivial community social situation for all generations, well ahead of my move back to the Central Coast, I was so honoured that Link & Pin were instantly enthused and immediately sought to enable Wink & Spin to begin!

Thursday night sees the long-anticipated opening of my multi-faceted musical tribute to this still somewhat culturally under-serviced yet naturally majestic realm. I hope to reflect all I love.

As ever, the venue, right across from Woy Woy Station, has booked great live music out in the beer garden (where you can hear Bad Witch, Pilot Guy and Visor Buffalo), whilst I will spin a wide swathe of sound for all and sundry within. 6 til 10. The last Thursday of every month. All gratis always!

Our Stern Flirtybird artwork comes from Shack fambly direct, Brooklyn's own Malcolm Smith. Cheers cuz!


Saturday June the 1st ~

Come Saturday I'm hearkening hard as Drunk Mums are set to play an intimate version of their incisive and anthemic antidote to noxious nationalism, The New Australia, live on Jack Off between 3 and 5PM.
Thence it's time for the nightly double of debonair deliriousness: Maybe Sammy from 6 til 9, before Dean and Nancy on 22 takes flight 'twixt 9 and half 12.

Glowing audio embers to warm the cockles of yr art.


Wednesday May the 22nd ~

Late, romantic, inter-special loving tonight at Palmer & Co, for free (as with all other engagements this week). Descend again. From 10 til around 1.30.


Friday May the 24th ~

Vivid Fire Kitchen cleaves off from Barrangaroo's Cutaway this year, lobbing up to The Goods Line in (substantially less cursed) Ultimo. I had a ball playing to food-lovers (and gangs of young street dancers) in swathes of smoke last time, so am stoked to be aboard again. Guest pitmaster tonight is John McFadden. Sonic sparks should fly between 6 and 11.


Saturday May the 25th ~

Jack Off celebrates the sacred advent of Xmas in May by setting FBi aflame for a few hours from 3.
Thence it's back to Vivid Fire Kitchen, this time under the stewardship of Christine Mansfield, to spin a spicy musical mix til an hour shy of 12.

Rubber rewards for those that stick it out and in.


Wednesday May the 15th ~

One fine day I'll have all of these boxes unpacked and time to swim in the sun. Til then it's free fare for all, first at Palmer & Co from 10PM til 1.30AM.


Saturday May the 18th ~

Jack Off goes out guestless between 3 and 5 this week, but if you'd like to hear last week's beautiful and illuminating appearance by Merryn Jeann you can catch up at yr leisure here.
Afterwards I've one final week of this insane trio of triptychs to somersault, first at Maybe Sammy from 6 til 9, then cartwheeling though to Dean and Nancy on 22 for 9 til 12.30AM. See you somewhere!

Anyone wanna buy our fancy boat? It's a proven way for folks to get along. Our ageless tinny hull and all accoutrements is also available - and going for a song. Make an offer for either. Would love to pass these beauties on to friends.


Wednesday May the 8th ~

Took a spell and drove almost as far north again during the most successful Gum Ball ever, in order to jump into the freezing waters of Ladies Well (above). God I needed that! Tonight I'll be back from another northern water world to play Palmer & Co for free from 11 til half 1.


Thursday May the 9th ~

Come Thursgay I'm celebrating my arrival back on the Coast with  a four-hour stint at the FunHaus Factory in Gosford, starting at 6, before being brilliantly interrupted by a sterling show from 6 Inch Minx, plus drag courtesy of Anita Drink and Luka Bahllz. The whole affair is hosted by Tim Dormer and there is zero charge to attend.

Friday May the 10th ~

It has been impossible to foresee, with my eyes all wonky: the penultimate Sham DJs (Liz Ham et moi) Sin City Soirée happens to be happening at the Hollywood this Friday from 8pm til 1am, before a finale in this form manifests on Friday August 9. Join us at our founding fountainhead as we go deep into the winter dark, surrounded by cozy community, music and movement. We are always free.

Saturday May the 11th ~

Prior to being put out to pasture for a few days I've an exceedingly busy Saturday: first sharing Subconscious Love Connections with Merryn Jeann live on FBi between 3 and 5 for Jack Off; then spinning freely for Maybe Sammy betwixt 6 and 9; before attaining audio enlightenment beyond the bovine at Dean and Nancy on 22 from 9 til 12.30.

Moving pictures made with music before barging out.


Wednesday May the 1st ~

To open this apparently inevitable week of rain, which just happens to coincide with the necessity of transporting our lives off-river via countless cardboard boxes on boats, I'll spin an especially extreme set of vintage audio aquatica at Palmer & Co between 11pm and approximately 1am. All gigs free.


Friday May the 3rd ~

If the hat shits, tear it (off, promptly) - that's my advice. But you know, you do you! Listen to the band (on the record, in my hand) at the illustrious  Bob Hawke Beer and Leisure Centre, 8.30 til 11.30pm.


Saturday May the 4th ~

Jack Off goes guestless, so as to best serve sonic mayhem in the minutes between 3 and 5pm.

Directly afterwards the traditionally noble, sober and sane history of The Rocks will be flawlessly embodied during my 6 til 9pm set at Maybe Sammy.
Thereafter, witness proof that I am simultaneously of both the future and past, as I miraculously materialise a mile away, atop a skyscraper, in the space of a single second, ready to unleash a world of wild colour and melody, amongst the mirthful madness that is Dean and Nancy on 22. Hear the whole song and dance unfold, until 12.30 in the morn!
