My next Australasian cover is Little Things by the wonderful Jessica Mauboy. Love this song.
Fall At Your Feet
We’re living in days I never thought I’d experience in my lifetime. The whole world’s in crisis and we’ve all been affected in some way by this volatile pandemic.
Like many industries, mine has been hit pretty hard. And in support of the arts, I thought I’d cover a few of my favourite Australasian tunes. If you enjoy what you hear, it would mean a lot if you’d please like, comment and share.
To kick things off, here’s Fall At Your Feet by Crowded House.

Reflections in Lockdown
With many of us at home right now having a bit more time on our hands, I’m seeing a lot of messaging on social media urging people to spend their time a certain way. To do this new thing or that new project…
I just want to sort of counter and diffuse that train of thought, and encourage anyone out there feeling overwhelmed or discouraged: please… don’t listen to those voices!
Sure, for some people it’s the perfect time for working on something they’ve wanted to for a while – the book, the song, the app, the home renovation – whatever it may be. But for others, it’s also the perfect moment to catch their breath, take care of themselves and to just be… Both sides are productive, important and valid.
Productivity isn’t measured by works.
So please don’t succumb to the expectation of others today or feel like you aren’t “doing” enough. Especially in a time like this, what matters most of all is doing what’s best for you.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
It’s been such a long time, but I’m so excited to finally share some music with you all again!
I planned to do this all year, but when things got kinda crazy I almost didn’t follow through with it! So glad I did though… Thanks Rika Setu-Galo, Lara Tenhoorn and Chris ‘TEK’ O’Ryan for helping me bring it to life.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is out everywhere on iTunes, Spotify and all the usual stores. Hope it makes you feel good and yes, that’s me on Santa’s lap haha x
FIGHT CLUB
The first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club… 😜
Man, I had so much fun doing this scene! It’s a first for Neighbours and definitely an experience I won’t forget. It also totally embodies Kane’s fearlessness and willingness to risk it all. After filming, I had one of the female extras go, “Are you that cocky in real life?!”. Haha.
Huge shout-out to my boss of a scene partner Ben Hall for going all-in with me, the legend Chris ‘Cougar’ Wilson for getting us fight-ready and fellow Kiwi Guy Strachan for a killer job directing us 🥊

KANE JONES
Meet KANE JONES.
This guy’s a gym rat you don’t wanna mess with. He’s tough, cocky and totally unfazed by pain or risk. Watch what happens when he invites Ned to an underground fight club… So much fun playing this character!
Catch my Neighbours debut Nov 15 at 6.30pm on 10 Play here in Oz and Channel 5 in the UK 🥊
NEIGHBOURS
It’s been ridiculously hard keeping this a secret… I’m so happy to share that I’ve landed a guest role on Neighbours!
You know, I always say life is unpredictable. But this happening (and the events leading up to it) has proven that to me so much more. Even when the odds seem completely stacked against you, you just can’t count yourself out!
Huge thanks to everyone at Ramsay Street, Mcleod Casting and Fremantle… I’m super grateful. Keep an eye on your TVs from next month.
