Sydney friends join me for a singing gathering on TUE 07 FEB from 6.15PM...bring someone along that needs to rejoice in the great power of spontaneous vocal creations. Details on the workshops page soon...NEWS - Yesterady in Canberra I was performing at The Australian Of The Year lunch and as I looked out at the intimate setting and saw the guests smiling back at me I was reminded why I decided to go out on my own and perform my vocal music - it was a great moment...now I am at home in my little studio writing songs and experimenting with new sounds and grooves...there is no project in sight - just abundant ideas...and that is all I need. There is so much going on in our world at this time and I want to send out a giant wave of peace and may it bring hope to anyone that is suffering...LOVE to all...

 Happy New Year...I'm on holidays and you are too I assume (?) Just returned home after my 5th consecutive Woodford Folk Festival. The morning singing experience that we created together back in 2008 was very inspiring and we were invited to be involved in nightly performances. Great to see all my old friends and always good to meet new people on this ride...This year will see Mr.Percival doing a few different things...and I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts about how they sound, feel and look...enjoy.

 My grateful thanks to Melbourne based photographer Steve Young for this incredible shot. He and his crew helped to bring this idea to life...I am in love with it. Over the next few weeks there will be some new additions here...The Desk Tape Master Series featuring live recordings since 2004 will be launched soon!! Mr.Percival, with the help of various talented sound engineers, has captured over 100 hours of live performances to be made available here in the shop!! There is an interactive looping programme in developement - watch this space. I am pleased to announce Mr.Percival will be returning to The Woodford Folk Festival in December for a series of very special vocal workshops...and there will be other exciting news soon...Love to ALL.
