What an incredible day 😍 I’m still on such a high! Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday for Lighthouse Rock 2023 and made it a day to remember forever. Every band was effing brilliant 🤘
Thank you to Craig Kickbush, Rohan Hems and Christian O’Donnell for driving up and letting me show you off 🤗 I love you guys and everything we do ❤️
Thanks to Gavin Hales, all of the Lighthouse crew, the staging and production crew, Chenae and Debbie, for being absolute bosses at the merch tent, and to the almighty Batman, for helping us all in every way you can. Total legends 🏆🫶
Seeing so many of you beautiful people out there from stage is breathtaking… and watching you sing along to our songs and wearing our shirts… I just melt 🥰 The support and love you show means the absolute world to me and gives me sooo much inspiration! I go on like a broken record about how incredible this community is, and I always will – thank you, from the bottom of my heart! 🙏
There’s a bunch of posts I was meant to share yesterday, but I got a bit caught up with the day, sorry in advance for spamming you with those for the next little bit. After a couple of days off, I can’t wait to get stuck into the next phase… got some cool stuff planned next 😚

This is my dear friend and genius bass player, Craig Kickbush. We met over 15 years ago, when he called to introduce himself (I’ve probably told this story before, but I love it) and offered to sit in for a set at my upcoming solo gig. I would never normally agree to let a stranger sit in for so long, but my gut told me to say yes… it was such a bold move, but he was so humble, yet confident. I said ‘but you don’t know the repertoire’ and he said ‘that’ll be fine, I’ll just follow you’. Within seconds, it was clear how insanely talented he is 😳. I’m pretty sure I LOL’d on stage. Ever since, I jump at any and every chance I get to jam with him. He’s contributed some of the most beautiful parts of my original songs and is an integral part of our band. This was us at one of our Twin Towns gigs last weekend, which are always incrediballs.
Next Saturday, we get to do it all again at Lighthouse Rock! 🤘 Cannot wait! 😍😝

What a brilliant night! 👏 Lighthouse Presented the Triple M Battle of the Bands at the Moncrieff Theatre tonight, and it was an absolute pleasure to join the judging panel, along with Nathan Bedford (Bundy Triple M) and Steven Price (Bundy Gig Guide) 🤓
It’s so cool to get to see the amazing talent in this town at events like these 😍🎶 Every band had clearly put in a lot of work, and it showed. 7 really solid bands, all with something strong and unique. Tough decisions 😣
Congratulations to the winners 🏆 In Effigy, who’ll now be sharing the stage with us at Lighthouse Rock on Oct 14th! 🤩 You guys had the room in the palm of your hands. Your songs, performance, and energy were brilliant 👏
Congratulations also to the runners-up, The Purple Hills and Reckless Error, and all the other bands – it was a really tough call.. you were all musically strong, entertaining and professional as.
Thanks to everyone who came out support the bands, and also to Lighthouse Presents, Bout Time Music and Triple M Bundy (especially our MCs El & Joe, you guys are hilarious). It’s such a privilege to be involved in this wonderful community 🥰
Over & out, I’m wrecked 😄😘
