Education and early career


Mutton graduated with a Bachelor of Exercise Science from Griffith University and worked in various areas of youth related employment. In 2001, he completed a Bachelor of Education (Graduate Entry) at QUT in Brisbane, majoring in Physical Education. The following years saw him on staff at various schools as a teacher, and also as a chaplain at a local Gold Coast high school.[citation needed]



Soulframe


Main article: Soulframe

Mutton put his career in education on hold when his band Soulframe began gaining popularity, and the band members decided to pursue music in a full time capacity. With experience on drums and piano, Mutton was reluctant to audition as a vocalist, however, subsequent to his stepping into the role of lead vocals, Soulframe won several Australian music awards and released two albums, Sojourn and Escaping Entropy. Songs from their 2005 album, Escaping Entropy received national recognition, including various radio station airplay of their single 'Beautiful', collecting a win and three further nominations in categories at the 2004 Annual MusicOz Awards,[1] two of the top 10 spots in their category for the 2005 Australian Songwriters Association Awards, and a win in their category for the NZ-based 2005 Pacific Songwriting Competition for their song 'Thread'.[2]



Australian Idol


Main article: Australian Idol (season 4)

Mutton sang U2's "All I Want Is You" at the Brisbane auditions of Australian Idol 4 and made the top 24 in Sydney. During the first semi final round, Mutton sang "Meant to Live" by Switchfoot but did not accrue enough votes to advance. His nickname Mutto applied to SMS votes, in addition to his given name 'Guy'. On 31 August, he was selected into the wildcard show for a second chance to earn a place in the Top 12. Mutton performed Eskimo Joe's "Black Fingernails, Red Wine" which resulted in mixed responses from the judges. However, on 4 September, the judges advanced him into the Top 12 as the second of four successful wildcard contestants. Mutton was the fourth performer voted out of the Australian Idol Top 12 on 2 October.

On 26 March 2010, Mutton released his first official single as a solo artist. The single "Wish", recorded at Loose Stones studios on the Gold Coast, mixed by JR McNeely in Nashville and mastered by Tom Coyne at Sterling Sound, NY, was released by Cowbell Digital Music worldwide. Since that time, Mutton has been predominantly involved with education, employed as a Physical Education teacher at Hillcrest Christian College. He has been performing and gigging in various forms - his website was re-launched in the latter weeks of 2015, noting his availability for various bookings and arrangement options.

Quarantine

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease.
