he quite likes 'yesterday was dramatic, today is ok' by mum, but i once played him godspeed you! black emperor's awesome 'f#, f natural, infinity' and it scared the hell out of him...'the car's on fire...and there's no driver at the wheel'...i guess it is a bit ominous huh

...or the beginning, however you want to look at it! ant and i have finished recording the cd, it has only taken a little over a year...yep, we are real dynamos...and we hoping to finalise mixing/mastering/editing before xmas with the view to a march 2012 release on move records

we are playing a concert for the victorian guitar society next sturday, december 17, details below. we will be performing our version of nigel westlake's 'the hinchinbrook riffs' among other things

hope everyone charged their glasses for tom waits bday yesterday [7/12] - although i think it's just coffee and cigarettes for him now - and spun a few of his lps. new one is highly recommended...

a big thanks to everyone in canberra who attended the recent duo 19 recital, great to see you all, antony and i look forward to returning with our debut cd.big thanks to messrs sloss, kain, le hoang, withers and the entire canberra classical guitar society for all their help in getting it happening

ant and i head back into the studio to finish it off in a couple of weeks with a view to having all audio completed by the end of 2011. the cd should hopefully be out through move records before the bounce of the 2012 afl season...the home and away season, not that silly pre season comp that starts in the hot months...

2012 concert season to be announced reasonably shortly. we are planning extensive touring to celebrate the release of the disc

Two of Australia's most compelling virtuoso guitarists – Daniel McKay and Antony Field - join forces in a riveting combo of on-stage energy and spontaneous rapport which is exciting and unpredictable. Long-term members of Australia's most respected guitar ensembles in Guitar Trek, The Melbourne Guitar Quartet and the Aria award-winning Saffire, Daniel and Antony have collaborated for many years on repertoire ranging from the romantic to the contemporary. Duo 19 have a particular affinity for performing new and rarely heard works with programs typically featuring a core of modern Australian repertoire.

last december antony field and i started work on our debut cd for move records. we are about to return to the studio for another session and are planning to have the cd out mid year. the album will feature works by nigel westlake, terry riley, mario castelnuovo-tedesco, phillip houghton and others. in other news i have begun working on a new solo work timothy hansen composed for me at the end of 2010 and i must say i am really looking forward to giving the premiere performance later this year

found a great lp at searchers records and books in smith st - alicia de larrocha playing all turina programme. awesome recording, sounds great on a rega/denon equipped thorens...and they only a wanted a lousy buck for it. also spinning warpaint's 'the fool' [thanks to joe at round and round] and shining's 'blackjazz' lps [thanks to jon p] - both released 2010, both worth a listen
