 Happy New Year!

2025 looks busy. I've just had to reschedule some recording for the second time. 

I'm organising a video trailer, (which is a sentence I never thought I'd utter) and I'll put it on here when it's finished.

A really nice thing happened in 2024. Back in July, I was awarded the 2024 Solo Instrumentalist of the Year Award at the Buxton Fringe! It was an honour and was proud to be able to add it to my leaflets for subsequent concerts.

GET YOUR TICKETS HERE

I'm looking forward to performing again at C Too.

It's been so hot lately as I'm practising and I visualise that lovely cool stone interior at St Columba's by the Castle and a cold beer after the show in their garden at the back.

I hope to see you there in August.

Post-Fringe recovery methods

First method - get self home and collapse in comfort (with a beer).
Second method - book a game of squash (or two).
Third method - get on the bike and go for a ride.
Fourth and somewhat vital method - get on with sorting out bookings while hammering the plans for next year into some kind of shape.

What a good time I had. I discovered another Edinburgh street or two I'd never been down before. Here for example; where the evening light made the top of this typical Scottish Parthenon look as if it was made of pure gold that evening. It was a little street just off Causewayside, where I'd been to Pataka for my dinner. Go there if you can - food delicious, interior interestingly Rennie Macintoshed and lovely people.
