Welcome to Songs for Arnhem
Firstly, thank you very much for your support. 100% of the funds raised will be used to provide musical instruments for 3 schools in Arnhem Land that currently do not have access to instruments and tuition.
Each month, during 2026, I will be releasing an original song that I’ve recorded for your listening pleasure…..I hope! One of the aims is to involve young musicians in the project who have enormous talent and a passion for music. In addition to this there may be a surprise or two from the Global Rock gods – The Rabs (sssshhh). I look forward to introducing the songs each month.
The motivation for this project centres around my own experience with playing the piano. My parents had a piano in the house and one day I happened to sit down and bang out a tune. This simple relationship with a musical instrument has provided a consistent creative and emotional outlet for over 50 years and enduring close friendships unlike any other.
Visiting one of the schools in Arnhem Land, I observed that the children didn’t have access to any musical instruments and the spark of an idea was borne to help provide instruments and tuition and build awareness of the wonderful work being done by KKT.
In return for the support of many generous people, I thought I'd write and record a few songs to send. And here we are….. Each month you will also receive a mixture of a ‘back catalogue’ song from the past, some video of the making of the song and updates on the provision of the instruments.
Thanks for coming along for the ride!

I look forward to introducing you to the KKT organisation, who have established themselves as leaders in their field since commencing operations in 2010. Rather than explaining their diversified operation in Arnhem Land, you can visit their informative website at kkt.org.au
