2025 Australian Songwriting Contest

-

I was on annual leave for several weeks in May, holiday-ing at home for the most part.  It was a chance to relax, re-set and catch up on a few missions. One mission was to enter six songs in the 2025 Australian Songwriting Contest.  It's my fifth time entering and I wanted to put in a cross-section of my work, so chose songs that fit six different categories.   I chose to enter my latest three songs - "Till It's Gone" (Ballad), "What Am I Worth" (Spiritual) and "Beat Of The Clock" (Folk).  These three songs are all different in the way they sound, their structure and subject matter.   I also entered two earlier songs. "Mona" is a good fit for Comedy/Novelty and "Going Home" went into the Australian category.  I still like my older songs.  I produce and perform newer songs but when listening to my older stuff, I feel they remain relevant.   "Breathe, Miss Sunshine" made it to the Top 30 list previously, when I first ent...

Photo Credit:   I Heart Songwriting Club (used with permission) July began just like many other months but a change was coming. I did a couple of open mics at Banshees, where there was an easy feel through my songs and a new level of encouragement. Highlight of the month was being accepted to attend the I Heart Songwriting Club / Wild Mountain Songs Retreat, held on the edge of the Border Ranges National Park .  What an amazing experience!  I was one of nine songwriters in attendance.  During the weekend I collaborated with six of those other attendees, writing five different full songs.  I threw myself into the projects - supporting the other writers with music and lyrics.  We created some awesome songs together.  It was a special way to celebrate another birthday and such a beautiful space to spend time.  There was a koala outside my window one night, glow worms beside the road each evening ... and I saw a mini glider.  All the food ...

September Showcase ...

Photo Credit:  Naomi Nichols Back in August I took part in a master-class for the Brisbane Lord Mayor's Seniors Spectacular cabaret - and was then chosen to perform at a showcase event in September.  I'd played "The Magician" for the master class, expecting to select a different song for the actual performance but that's not how things worked out. We were up early on the day to get to the venue for pre-show sound checks. There's a lot going on at the moment, so I was a bit concerned I'd struggle doing the performance but all went off quite well - and I received some excellent feedback afterwards (for the song and my outfit)! What else has been happening? I wrote a love song in August, which I released on 29 September.  Have a listen at the link below - it's getting some good engagement. There's fantastic news to finish off the month.  I entered eight songs in the Australian Songwriting Competition earlier this year. I woke to lots of emails yesterd...
