Geoff Achison is a blues-roots artist from Australia best known for his guitar playing and songwriting. 

Geoff began his apprenticeship with legendary Australian bluesman 'Dutch' Tilders establishing himself as a fine lead guitarist before striking out with his own. He released his debut album in the early 90s and began touring throughout the USA, UK & Europe. 

I learnt of Geoff through John Adams who managed his tours in the UK

Geoff is an excellent player as well as being a fine chap!

Solo show 

Musings on not finding the answers but by asking better questions we can conjure different ideas. 

Regarding the charity work for Ikaro and the mentoring programme for teachers and people who work one to one 

My Patreon is https://www.patreon.com/vichyland

and for the price of a  cup of coffee you can really make a difference.  

In this week's solo show I reflect on what lessons can be drawn (!) from an artist and other previous episodes this month. 

There is much to be applied to the world that we now find ourselves as it turns out.

I think it’s fair to say that most people would be able to tell you anecdotal evidence to point to the fact that music is of great benefit to her health and her state of well-being but how about it being true the transformation where it can rebuild your life, prolong your life and change the world that you inhabit?
