Our 2nd (official) launch went off w/ a BANG @ Finbar, Maleny on Fri Dec 11. The guys didn’t sell a heap of CD’s, but w/ our ‘young gun’ drummer on board, Mitch Francis, we attempted roof-removal of that venue, whilst still keeping under 105 db, LOL. Proprietor, John, created a special Wasabi Pizza for the night.

Yes, this time with great vocalist/ tenor sax, from the Netherlands, Johan Van Gelder. At the UPFront Club, Jan 29, 2010… Maleny, Qld, Australia. So if you’re in the ‘hood… COME ON DOWN !

After a lengthy hiatus, & ‘wordpress 101′, I’m finally an on-board admin. 4 this site ! Will be uploading recent media, etc, as I go. Working album-title has morphed into ‘Inhabited Worlds’ ( when a Japanese friend kindly informed me that the word ‘Koan’ doesn’t rhyme with ‘Cone’, so my double entendre ceased to seem operative, tsk.

REUTERS – LONDON- Dec ‘09
“As 2010 approaches, the Chillorado album,’ Inhabited Worlds’ earns Guiness Book of Records title of ‘Longest Time spent making an Album ‘ ”

When asked what’s the hold-up, Kit Cotter stated unequivocally that now he’s got the record for slowest album, he wants to ensure that no-one beats it for a long, long time… maybe ever ! Koan of Worlds… Inhabited Silence… will we ever hear it ??

Putting down the acoustic guitar part on We Were Friends at Herrin Larkan’s.

Well here we are well into ‘07, Mr Mark Gillett just re-located to the ‘other side’, r.i.p. brother. My ‘new year’ is April 29, & what a huge year’s just gone, full of incredible challenges which stretched me to the max, plus a tour which included Thailand, Kampuchea & NZ. Now back on track w/ view to album. Admin of this site was down for most of the year, but now able to publish clips/pics/sounds again.
