WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT WORKING AT NECOM?

The building we work in feels like it needs music and everyday at work feels like we help contribute to magic in Armidale and give life to the Armidale Teachers College.

YOUR EARLIEST MUSICAL MEMORY IS                               

Early music lessons in Orange on percussion with my friends Robbie, James and Harry.

WHAT IS ONE MEMORY THAT STANDS OUT AS A HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR CAREER SO FAR?

Playing a cello didgeridoo duet of ‘’Threnody‘’with William Barton at Peter Schulthorpes 80th Birthday

IF YOU COULD ONLY KEEP ONE PIECE OF MUSIC IN YOUR COLLECTION, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I have a collection of 10,000 LP’s in my studio. It would depend on the day what I would listen to but Stravinskys ‘’Petrushka’’ is commonly on my listening list.
