Oh hi there... Are you sitting down? Lots to tell you... As well as all the one-off festival shows with my band over the coming summer I'm also doing a kind of mini-tour next month, by myself with just my acoustic guitar this time, dates and info available on this very site, do come along!... I've just finished shooting a video for 'Fast Friends' with director Gemma Lee, should be on a screen somewhere pretty soon and the single will be released on itunes shortly as well (along with a few live b-sides too)... And speaking of screens, I believe the show we did for JJJ at the Troubadour in Brisbane last month will be broadcast on JJJ and JTV/ABC TV this week, check back here for specific details soon... What else?... Parallel Lions have just released their debut album! I highly recommend picking up a copy... Alright, that'll do for now... Thanks.. PD

Only weeks after completing a sold out national tour with his band, Paul will head back out on the road due to the large number of requests received from people in areas the tour did not initially visit. This time he will be going it alone in solo acoustic mode and heading to regional and outer-city areas in NSW, VIC and Tasmania.
Tickets are sure to sell fast so make sure to get in early for your chance to see Paul playing songs from Everything is True in intimate solo-acoustic mode.

Time flies when you're having fun and all good things must come to an end etc etc etc... We finished up in Ballarat and San Remo over the weekend and just like that, it's all done... This tour has been incredible and I want to say thanks again to everybody who came along to the shows, thanks to Parallel Lions, Leena, John, Pat, Shan and our crew.. Good times. I'm off to get a good night's sleep. See you soon. PD

Morning all... Well, the tour winds up this weekend with shows in Ballarat
and San Remo, this tour has been so much fun I really don't want it to end,
I wish we had another fifteen shows to play... Thanks to everyone who gave
us such a regal reception in the Kingdom last Thursday and to everyone at
the two WA shows, after adjusting to the new feng shui at the Fly by Night
Club it was a definite highlight of the tour.. Right then, way out west on
Friday Night and Saturday in the far east, see you there!... PD
