  • Summary

  • I narrate stories about, and the background to, my albums and my musicals. These include: Rock Songs, Love Songs, Children's Songs, Pop Songs, Sing Along with History songs  and one longer show about how I put the entire poem of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor to music. In this show I play all 21 songs that I wrote to cover the entire poem.

    The other 35 shows contain five or six songs and one final podcast 37, where I talk about my Memories of Pip, when I played that part in the ABCs 1973 version of 7 Little Australians.

    7 Little Australians - Memories of Pip
    Sep 21 2023

    50 years ago, when I was 14, I was fortunate enough to be cast in the role of 'Pip' in the  1973, ABC production of Ethel Turner's: '7 Little Australians'.

    This podcast is about my memories of that time.

    This my final podcast for the time being. I hope that you have enjoyed them.

    They will remain available through Buzzsprout and on all the major platforms exactly as they have been since January.

    Cheers from Downunder
