Not many readers know this about me…..

Me doing my thing at the Dargaville Club in Northland NZ

There’s something about me that I don’t share much with my readers. Besides singing covers in a band called The Ready Groovers Band, I also write original songs with one of my very accomplished guitar playing members.

Something amazing happens up there on stage. Not every time we play, but sometimes, and it only lasts for the song, sometimes only part of a song, but a bubble seems to surround us. A bubble of energy.  A buzzing, heightened feeling of a musical euphoria. It’s harmonic bliss – brief but so fulfilling!

We rehearse every Wednesday and gig every Friday, at this stage. I write music on Mondays and practice everything by myself in between.

Music has been my invisible hug, my permanent sounding board, the never-ending tissue, and my joy!

Welcome to my musical journey – even though I’ve been on it for 30-plus years!
