A beautiful moment in time a few weeks ago with @daddyfrank_music serenading us on sunset with #myislandhome
Just before the chorus, Alister noticed an island family on shore fishing and waving, listening to this song. It was a beautiful moment in time and the significance of this song was truly felt by all.

This Sunday, 16th June we’re looking forward to welcoming back the legend Chris Cobb for a sunset cruise! ππ½πΆπ
@chriscobbmusic is a singer/songwriter who aspires to connect with people through music. The self confessed ‘bush boy’ is based between Port Moresby and the Sunshine Coast.
“An early highlight of my young career was performing with the legendary East New Britain group ‘Barike Band’ for a solid 5 years. More recently I was lucky enough to be invited up on stage to sing a song with Ronan Keating during a concert in Singapore”.
You’ll find the talented artist experimenting with loops and pedals, fusing traditional chants and rhythms with contemporary sounds, bringing the past into the present while honouring the origins of the music.
Organic scrambled eggs, topped with spanner crab on a house-made hash brown, dusted with Pepperberry, native spices and local pickled Pigface π±
Alongside a morning mimosa of course π Delicious!
