Jeff Crabtree about to blog
I see that Jeff Crabtree’s primed to start posting at Phil Baker and Friends. Excellent!
I came across Jeff at Parachute Festival in Matamata, New Zealand back in the mid 1990s, where I interviewed him and Geoff Bullock for a magazine article. And then saw him again at the NZ Christian songwriter’s conference in Upper Hutt. I still remember Jeff talking about people who bring him their awful songs that “God has given them”. The cutting but humorous response: “You know why God gave you that song? Because God didn’t want it!” A response Dicko of Australian Idol would have been proud of.
Jeff’s laid back irreverent approach to life and spirituality can be found in his 1995 album, “Dr Bob and the Amazing Disciples of Groove - The Doctor Is In”. My favourite track: “All I want”.
Jeff is the Principal of the Christian City Church School of Creative Arts in Sydney.
