NEW ALBUM COMING VERY SOON!

"Flying High" is my first new solo "album" in 4 years -  since I released "The Disappearing Man" into the wild 1n 2021.  That makes this my 7th full album.

I've been making and recording lots of music in the meantime - with the "Pambula Beach Garage Band" in The Shed in Pambula Beach; with Joe Cannon as 50% of  "The Cannon Porter Project" and with "The Safe Hands Band", as well as putting a compilation of French/France inspired music together in a short form album(ette) for the local Alliance Française  - ("Perdu dans la Traduction"). I've also been happily involved in helping my old MacJams friend Ed Hannifin with what's looking like being an epic collection of his great songs.

There are 13 songs on "Flying High": some are major remixes of older songs of mine that were pretty underdone when they were first made available to the general public; a few are new(ish) tunes that have been re-mixed but have only had limited releas previously as "singles"; and the rest are recent recordings of totally new music.

I'm really happy how all 14 songs have responded to time, love and care to come up with this final collection.

"Flying High" is mainly a solo effort, but I had some excellent musicians joining me here and there.
