Some of these tunes I remember from my childhood, some I started learning as a teenager (primarily as finger exercises) and later on, in the 1980s, they featured heavily in my life as I performed them regularly as a member of the Sydney band Hat Trick. Everywhere we played, audiences responded with wild enthusiasm to our “rocked up” versions of the classics. So, when I began to develop a career as a solo performer, it seemed natural to slip a few of the “tried and tested” classics into my set. Not surprisingly, the audience response was just as enthusiastic. From my earliest days of performing the ‘William Tell Overture’, I’ve had requests to record my versions of the classics. And finally, here they are …!

ClassicFix captures the essence of some of the great classics, including the fast and furious “William Tell Overture” by Rossini, Mozart’s perennially popular “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” and “Rondo Alla Turca”, several pieces by Bach — “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”, “Bourée” and “Toccata”, Monti’s famous “Czardas”, Brahms’ “Hungarian Dance No. 5” and Chopin’s “Waltz in C Sharp Minor”.
