New single "CSG' out now. This song is inspired by a week I spent cycling round the Pilliga forest meeting its activists and traditional owners who were protesting against coal seam gas.

Here's a new single for all dog owners. Sadly, 9/10 dogs never find a permanent home. The T-shirt is available on my Bandcamp page, with all profits going to a dogs' home.

"Long Dead" single out now. Here's a song for anyone who's lost a friend. It's about my mate Ben, who died 10 years ago. We'd been friends since birth because our mums met in the maternity ward. We were born 11 days apart. Link in bio.
