2012 - Big life changes

In 2012 Swingologie made a demo CD to showcase the band's talents towards getting further gigs, and continued to build a solid reputation, both as a trio and a quartet.

In the meantime big things were happening for me in my personal life. It took a long time for me to meet the right person to be my life partner, and in 2012 it happened completely unexpectedly. Jane and I have been married for 6 years this year, and in that first year I was already inspired enough to compose a tune for her, which I entitled 'Romantique'.

After arriving in Nottingham from Melbourne, Australia, Jane came along to her first jazz gig at the Hand and Heart. and so was introduced to Gypsy/Jazz and my world as a musician.
