"Fresh Drums for Young Guns" BOOK LAUNCH!!!

After selling the first copy of my book I felt a massive weight lifted and replaced with a true sense of achievement. The work I have put in over the last 12 months has been well celebrated with family and friends. With over two hundred guests everyone had a great time and the launch was a great opportunity to showcase my career to date.

Kicking off the evening the first hundred guests received a bag with a special offer including a free drum lesson and info about what the arts hub has to offer. As a part of the Rabbit and Cocoon (multi arts hub) sneak peak, there was an amazing art exhibition by “Flat White Spaces” a fashion parade showcasing local designers and live music. With members of council and local businesses and organisations attending we hosted tapas and drinks from the arts hubs café.

I eagre all locals to come for a wander through Miami and check out the Rabbit and Cocoon or simply check it out online (www.rabbitandcocoon.blogspot.com/). Jolie (mc for the night) although nervous spoke highly of me as an international artist and musician on the Gold Coast.


My book and the exhibition were displayed in the artist run spaces giving an industrial backdrop to the pop culture works. Dragon’s blood incense invite you in my room showcasing home drumming videos running continuously provoking memories of my beginnings behind the kit and my studies at the Conservatorium of Music. Featuring my unique drum kit (covered in 70’s wallpaper) alongside my book were flyers and cards depicting my new teaching studio at this very hub.

On the night I had many conversations with authors, musicians and artists that were interested in my book.  Amongst the celebrations I conducted an interview for the Gold Coast Bulletin and had many photos with family and friends. The Launch of my book “Fresh Drums for Young Guns” has been a great success and I am very proud of what I have achieved.
