9. When did you start playing?
I was about 6 and my parents bought my older brother, Doug, a guitar. I made it known I felt I had to have one if he was having one.
10. What is the best memory or gig you have played?
I was playing guitar for Peter Garrett and I had one of those moments on stage in which everything seems hyper real… He was always an icon in our family home, both politically and musically… and one night on the tour in Adelaide, I just suddenly realised mid set…”Oh.. my … god.. that .. is... Peter… Garrett!”
I remember feeling very grateful for the chance to learn from him. Still do.
11. Who do you most look up to musically or who has influenced you the most so far?
My brother Doug, for certain. I’ve always just watched what he does and have followed suit… especially with regard to just picking up guitar and learning to play. I’ve just always done what he does, albeit in my own way.
12. Best piece of advice you could give to other musicians?
Do it because you love expressing yourself through music. Don’t stress about the rest.
