    Thank you so much for all of your kind donations, it's truely appreciated.

    As you may be aware I did not even get close to reaching my target, so I guess a trip back home is off for the mean time. I'll just hold on and see what the future holds! While my cancer is stable at present, doctors are holding off any treatment until the COVID situation improves. This also prompted me to cancel hip replacement surgery. Instead I used some of the funds to purchase an electric lounge lift chair, so I guess you could say you have all been a great support! haha!

    Thanks again, I'm feeling well and getting around OK!

    Love you all ROB & VAL XXXX

    Hi everyone, Back in 2014/15 while recovering from chemo and a bone marrow transplant, I wrote a book titled 'The Undertow'. It documents my musical history and what happened after. So I'm only too happy to gift a copy to everyone who donates to my cause. (And naturally all those who have.) It is an 'ebook' but should be readable on most devices. Just send me your email address and request a copy!

    Its a good read and was edited by my late cousin and fellow musician Paul Ewing.

    Cheers ROB

    You know prior to my producer years,I was in a band!

    Remember 'The Clevedonaires' (NZ) then 'The Cleves' (Aust) and 'Bitch' in the UK! That was my apprenticeship! The 60's & 70's

    The point being, I achieved so much with my productions and got nothing back!!!

    I got ripped off.....not 1 cent royalties!

    Meanwhile I saw my Haematologist yesterday and will need to start new treatment shortly! I'm hanging in their ok, Just please help and spread the word. Val and I would dearly love a trip HOME!

    The Clevedonaires on the 'Come on' show in the 60's with the Chicks, Shane, Mr Lee Grant, etc even Harry Lyon is in shot. I'm the tall one near centre next to Shane! Harry directly below! WOW!
