“Having seen his work for Souths, I can promise you he will write you a song to stir your heart, soul and, if need be loins” (Andrew Denton)

“I’m proud to say that he is, in my opinion, one of the most gifted singer/songwriters this country has ever produced” (Alan Jones)

Allan has worked live with Garth Brooks, Don Maclean, Gerry and the Pacemakers and The Little River Band. He has played at The Sydney Entertainment Centre and The Melbourne Concert Hall and overseas in places like New York, LA, Nashville and New Zealand but claims the highlight of his career was playing to 80,000 people at a “Save Souths” rally with a song he had written the previous night.

At the beginning of 2006, Allan released his 10^th album “Al’s Bar and Grill” and his first book “Writing Great song Lyrics”. Both have been greeted by terrific reviews with most critics agreeing that “Al’s Bar and Grill” is Allan’s best album yet.
