Hello Rod, the small taste of “Mates” is amazing, but it has whetted my appetite for the complete show, especially as I know the story so well . Great work Love Chris from the Land of the Long White Cloud.

Hi Christine. Was so good you made it to “ MATES Showcase.” The actual script is finished for the full- length two hour show so hopefully by mid next year it will be showing in a theatre here in Perth. We will definitely tour this to all states and hopefully New Zealand. Rod x

Hi Rod,

You haven’t changed since, the time I was at Corpus Christi College, which was about 26 years ago when I left. Your music on your tube is wonderful
