In the Blue Mountains Australia

Global Peace Project launched in Katoomba Town Square on 7 October 2024.  Tie a ribbon around the Peace Pole or feel peace in your heart and strike the Peace Gong sending that peace out across the world. Part of the Global Peace Pole project www.worldpeace.org 

A beautiful Ubuntu Choir song.  Simple and flowing. Great to sing at bedside. This is performed outdoors in Katoomba Square. Please forgive the not-so-great sync job with the sound. 

A Song for Dying.  But that doesn't mean you can't lay back and drift away just because you aren't dying (because let's face it, we are all dying, just at different rates). Part of the aim of my work is to encourage people to talk about, and engage in conversation around, death and dying.  It is the most natural and inevitable of human processes after all. I wrote this song for the wonderful women of Threshold Choir Sydney.

I am always reminding myself to listen more, talk less.  This short little bedside song came to me last night in my dreams.  My subconscious reminding me of what's important. Listen to Mother Earth, to Spirit, to Ancestor and to each other. 

This simple song has a simple yet powerful message - May Peace Prevail on Earth. Part of the Global Peace Project. A peaceful world begins with a peaceful heart.

Wrote this song whilst frolicking in the ocean at Byron Bay. A tribute to the healing power of Mother Ocean. I hope you enjoy. We are all interconnected. 

Well my beautiful Monolina arrived yesterday (named Mona Lisa of course). Playing with her is like being in a duet.  Totally mesmerising. And those harmonics ringing out over the top like heavenly angels.  I am in love. See what you think.

A chant, song, bedside singing song with a very meditative intention.  Focusing on the beautiful breath, lifegiving, calming, balancing. Thank you to my lovely husband who is being my test subject laying just out of shot.

 I love my community of Katoomba - a bunch of kooky, crazy, creatives. It was an honour to be asked to perform ceremony to mark the winter solstice. But I'm not going to lie, it was a challenging gig - holding the space all by myself after African dancing and a very excited crowd. It is what it is - a lesson in going with the flow. 

I created this series of Faery Solstice cards for the Winter Magic Festival Solstice Ritual in June.  They were a great hit. Faeries are real!

I wrote this song when Trump was in office and considering what is happening in the USA it is still very relevant. It seems that since "Trump (and IA) came along" there has been a continued difficulty in discerning right from wrong, truth from falsehoods, fact from fiction.  I find myself distrusting everything. Hence this song is about humanity's inability to see the shades in between the black and white thinking.  I am sure this is only a moment in history - and we will once again be able to debate with sense and rediscover all the shades and colours in our world.

This is one I wrote for an anthropological film I was making about the resilience of the Upper Blue Mountains during Covid, Floods and Fires. It's a bit cheesy but I secretly love it. Shhhhhh. 

Yes I own it!  Here is a song about all the weird stuff I do.  Who knows maybe you do some of this too!

A 10-minute selection of my set at the wonderful Blue Mountains Ukulele Festival in the Blue Mountains NSW Australia. Song, story-telling, social commentary and satire. Enjoy!
