Popstar, Germany.
One of Northern Europe’s most consistently successful solo artists. Kind circumstance has meant I’ve managed to contribute a series of songs to his catalogue inc. a hit single featured on his latest release: “Greatest Hits”. (Hint: “Turn it into Something Special” for my sake). www.sasha.de
UK Singer Songwriter.
UK Singer Songwriter jumped at the chance to work with Ronnie...or was it the other way around? www.davidgray.com

Drums, percussion, bass, vocals, songwriter.
This Adelaide-based but world-destined multi-instrumentalist claimed he didn't sing when I first met him but once under my torturous regime he began screaming like a demon and is yet to stop. Being a gifted musician and an exceptional person, Jarrad makes the process of playing music extremely pleasant, creative and fun. Check out his solo album "Lorum Ipsum" which can surely be loosely translated in any language as "refreshingly quirky". Don't believe me? Find out for yourself at the humorous www.jgkp.com (plenty of free music to download.)
Rock band, Germany.
Guitarist, Boris Krause, added some excellent and distinctive lines on "Decalogue". In return, I occasionally get the fantastic job of inflicting lyrics upon their music. Stay tuned for latest CD release at www.nojar.com
Mixmasters Studios.
I do Mick a disservice by putting him under the "studio" title alone. Mick is an erudite and witty philosopher who decided to build some great studios on the way to a gig. He's responsible for my first two solo albums ("Valentine's Prey" and "Briefcase"). He's got heart, soul, elephant ears and a swag of Australian Music Industry awards that would fill his biggest studio. It's true at www.mixmasters.com.au
Photographer.
Caroline is one of the most talented and successful freelancers in South Australia. We met on the beach (where else?) and though she specialises in marine and aquaculture environmental photography, she went out of her way to shoot the "Decalogue" CD cover and publicity shots as well as capturing the “Decalogue” CD launch at the "Gov" in early 2006. Spot the results in "Gallery". Meanwhile, you'll find this fine human being on the beach and at www.carolinefisher.com.au
Ronnie Taheny (vox/piano/cello), Marie de Lint (flute/harmonica/vox) and Amanda Goodfellow (cello/vox) have taken Ronnie’s originals and arranged them for your refined ear. Think enthusiasm, irreverence and energy not stodgy classical deliveries. Beneath their larrikin exterior there beats three hearts of sheer class, arse and shameless self-promotion. They’ll frock-up to dress you down www.myspace.com/theouthouseorchestra
Guitar, blues harp, tin whistle, vocals.
Another wickedly quirky lad but this time from Kinsale, County Cork. John’s one of those multi-instrumentalists who will musically follow you anywhere - lucky for me. A fellow beach bum, he’s also a formidable sailor and businessman. Clues to this mystery at: www.johnahern.net
Ronnie's nephew and ex-roadie. Ronnie unleashed Joe onto the world when he toured with her in1999. The world has never been the same since...

. Adelaide.
Adelaide is still in fear of becoming the cultural centre of the world. We’ve a Fringe Festival second only to Edinburgh, a Writers' Week to humble many other international gatherings and an annual WOMAD festival that doesn't need me banging-on about it. The "Gov" too, stands proudly as one of the best live venues Australia has to offer. For nearly two decades now the Tonkin family has warmly supported all manner of original music from Australia (inc. yours truly) and the world. Long may it continue! www.thegov.com.au
