Released January 2005, Square Peg is my new album containing 13 original compositions. The eight songs and five instrumentals were recorded at Braeburn Studios in Wellington, New Zealand in late 2004. Along with Tom Callwood on double bass, the tracks feature a number of Burgin guitars, a mandolin, and an electric Hawaiian guitar made by my father in 1946.

The CD includes a detailed booklet containing lyrics and a number of photos of my handmade instruments. The album was recorded by Robbie duncan who specialises in recording acoustic instruments.

This album is can be purchased from me for NZ$ 20.00 + postage. Please contact me to arrange payment (VISA accepted) and delivery.
