We’d like to thank the many of you that came to celebrate the last peregrine show with us in Sydney earlier this month. It was undoubtedly the most enjoyable show we’ve ever played. Big thanks to Wes Carr and Nicolle Lane for helping us put it together. And thanks also to the many encouraging words sent to [...]

Ladies and Gents. It’s the end of an era. Peregrine have decided to call it a day after a dozen bloody marvellous years of touring. On Saturday March 3 we hope you will join us for one last celebration at The Basement in Circular Quay, Sydney. We’d like to say goodbye the right way – [...]
Peregrine returns to Sydney’s temple of jazz and blues, The Basement, Saturday August 20, in a killer triple bill that is shared with Melbourne’s incredible carnival cabaret kings ‘The Tiger and Me‘ and up-and-coming Sydney folk n’ rollers ‘Evan and the Brave‘. Felix warms up the ‘Tigram’ moves… Its been a long time between drinks [...]
I made it! 17 shows in 17 cities in 17 days. Not quite Mijo’s 43 but a big effort nonetheless! Our not-so-secret show at Taqueria Florian was packed, and I was amazed to see old friends from Australia mixed in with folks I have met elsewhere in Germany during this tour. It was incredible that [...]
Coming to Magdeburg is always a joy, the birthplace of vondomachine has a very special place in my heart, mostly because of the wonderful people who helped start this whole adventure. We had the unfortunate situation of a rainstorm washing out our return to Strandbar, but our compromise was every bit as special. A little [...]
Wow… Best venue on the tour. For whatever reason (something to do with the soil), the people of Bremen built their concrete bunkers above ground during WWII, rather than underground. Now a clever architect has built a light-filled home made of steel and glass atop one such bunker, with a lovely grass lawn. And down [...]
The party goes on in the room next door as I write. Tonight we were treated to some genuine Deutsch folk music from our hosts, and my show was recorded. Unfortunately I am too exhausted to socialise as I should, 14 nights on the trot have taken their toll on me. The food is great, [...]
Yeah! MG Action Town! So it rained like a true German summer today. It poured down and washed out our Garden concert. Our gracious host Nadine scoured for extra options and we ended up playing in a large flat, where I learned the true meaning of ‘High Tea’, among other things. MG is among a [...]
Another strange and wonderful show, this time in a rooftop flat in Marburg. Mijo Biscan must have done something very right here last time around because they had twice as many attendees as expected and it was quite the squeeze! (Mijo, thanks again for blazing the trail!) Tonight I finished with a relatively new song, [...]
This morning it dawned on me as I woke that I am incredibly lucky. In Mainz last night, yet another bar filled with great characters, and I sang with confidence and thoroughly enjoyed the performance. I met wonderful people like Robert and Bandit. We are sold out of peregrine albums. Back home High Tea is [...]
