Also, congrats again to Tobias Cummings with the latest review for his album ‘A Trophy’, produced by Wez Prictor, Tobias & Tim Whitten, mixed by Wez, and mastered by Adam Dempsey for CD & 12″ vinyl LP:
“a fulfilling record that’s technically rounded and gorgeous in its delivery… its title indicative of the triumph that this record represents. It’s a good morning, a lullaby, a companion, a record to sit at the edge of your slipping consciousness… and a record you’re bound to fall for.” – Soulshine, Australian Independent Music.

“Hi I’m Sarah McLeod
I am asking for your help.
Did you know that in Australia there are over 6,300 reports of child abuse each week?
That’s 340,000 reports each year. That’s the equivalent of three kids suffering abuse in every classroom in our country. These kids could be your friends at school, In your children’s classroom or a girl or boy you pass on the street.
I’ve recorded a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Dancing In The Dark’.
From today through to Christmas I will be donating the proceeds of each download to helping these kids. Ministry of Sound and VDG will financially match my donation.
I can’t do this alone though and so I am asking for you to please help me.
Click here to download the single or the “gifting” option. It’s $1.69.
Your downloads will help provide services ranging from meals, through to somewhere to sleep at night and the opportunity to have an education.
To break it down – giving them a second chance at a better life.
$1.69. One download can’t do much, but together if we all take this action we can show these kids that they are not alone, specially at Christmas.
Please help me help them.”
