Until 13 months ago I called the fine city of Brisbane home for many years.
I have moved to Victoria in search of a better climate, to be closer to family and resolve the isolation from football.

Hi Ben,
Just a fantastic Saturday at the festival. Sun was out after a heavy downpour on Friday night. Had a mando workshop with Paul Duff,wow can he play and i asked if i could look at his mando and he handed it over with a pick and said enjoy and walked away to talk to some other people. His Duff mando was something else and i would recommend them to anyone. He is a really nice bloke and his band, Bluegrass Parkway was just great to listen to. Too many other bands to mention but the Davidson Bros. were exceptional.
Cheers
