“I can’t wait to get back to Macksville to play on Friday,” said Gill.

“I love that auditorium and playing to a good-timing Macksville crowd.

“I’ve played there many a time over the years, but this time I’m looking forward to bringing my mate Australian fiddle champion Pixie Jenkins over from Tamworth to play a show with me.

“There’ll be a lot of laughs, some new songs and some old stuff, it’s gonna be a blast,” he said.

The country singer songwriter continues to push boundaries and broaden the appeal of country music
“Pixie and I have also just collaborated on an ear candy spaghetti western instrumental called Dust.

“Pix is playing a pizzicato (plucked fiddle) part, accompanied by dobro flourishes, then I come in playing a flat picked acoustic part with pedal steel.

“This is followed by Pixie and his signature twin-fiddle sound and then the acoustic guitar and fiddle trade licks at the end of the song.

“It was a lot of fun recording, we might even play a stripped back version at the show,” said Gill.
