Immersed in studio madness at the moment. It's coming along nicely and I am managing to squeeze in a few shows too.

Check the Myspace page for a few pics of the studio sessions www.myspace.com/jesmaq

Also the single release party has been booked for friday the 13th of June at 303 in Northcote!

Well I reckon easter is as good a time as any to sink your teeth into some new beginnings. I certainly feel excited.. elated... The recording process is whirling towards me with great force and to make it all make a little more sense I will be performing at the Brunswick Hotel this sunday with a FIVE PIECE version of Jess McAvoy and the Strays. We will be performing the songs off the new record as close to the way the record is going to sound as we can get.

Head on down to the Brunswick hotel around 2.30 to catch 2 full sets.

This is a lovely week. Wednesday night (Tomorrow) I will be supporting George Byrne at the Wesley Anne Hotel in High Street Northcote from 7ish.

This weekend, at 2.30 pm on Sunday, if youre in Melbourne you should come down to the Brunswick hotel in Sydney Road in Brunswick for the first of my 4 performances with the Strays! We have been in the studio rehearsing and preparing for the new album which isn't very far away.

Recording starts in less than 3 weeks!

This week I'll be in a few different places,

Mardigras festival sees me playing at Will and Tobys in Taylors Square Sydney for thursday the 21st.

Come down.

The Summer Wine and Roses tour was a whole heap of fun, thanks to those who came to the shows, especially those who travelled a fair way to get to them!

Happy new year to all!

Woodford was fantastically succesful- I had a great time and we got people dancing.

If youre in Victoria come along to the Retreat every Sunday evening from 7pm to see me with The Currency.

Just found out that I will be performing with That One Guy at SoCo Cargo on the 2nd of January- He is such great fun, and its my pleasure to be performing with him. That on top of Woodford Folk Festival and Sundays at the Retreat in January, I'm pretty stoked.

Diary entry up now.

One last show in perth on Tuesday the 11th at the Llama Bar in Subiaco.. and in the mean time I have been writing So much And there is a song that I am so excited about that I havent told a soul... Makes no sense perhaps.. but really it does. All is well in the honeypot. I love it!

Hope youre well.x
