Live desk feed recording from the GIO Oz Day 10k Wheelchair Race for Wheelchair Sports NSW

Australian National Anthem LIVE - GIO Oz Day 10K Wheelchair Race

Well, I thought it was time I should put something up on SoundCloud. 

This was sent to me by someone who recorded my performance at the charity benefit 'Twisted Broadway' a brilliant event raising money for 'Oz Showbiz Cares/Equity fights AIDS' a charity, of which, I'm a board member and have worked closely with for many years through my involvement with 'Hats Off!'.  

This is my 'Home' medley which is a track that is hopefully to be on my pending album 'The Gospel of theatre' 

I was quite sick when I performed this, and it was one hell battle to sing, but I got through okay :-)

I'm not sure what I'll use this account for.. I think that maybe I'll use SoundCloud for little pieces like this which normally wouldn't see the light of day - a little record of bits of pieces of performances that I find... maybe even put up some old stuff for keepsakes. 

Anyway, It's nearly 4am and I'm rambling - best I get off here. 

This is my 'Home' medley accompanied by Michael Dench (he rocks).

BURN FOR YOU: A very rough acoustic demo that I recorded for THE FNK PROJECT with Kuki back in 2006 while we were in Brisbane doing a show.  
We'd just finished doing a show with Farnsy in 2005 & decided to put our spin on one of our favourites, of his songs.

VOCALS: Flip Simmons
GUITAR: Kuki Tipoki

Burn for you

One for the theatre loving folk. Like I said I would do with my soundcloud - little record of bits of pieces of live performances of mine that I find. 

This is from a show I did called 'You're a good man Charlie Brown" I'm uploading it as is, mistakes and all... well, live is live.

I absolutely loved this show.
