Will be attending a charity event at this amazing venue in downtown Beirut – you must check it out !!!

SKY BAR

Two videos – the second is a small treat  for all you Snoop Dogg people – he played in Beirut when I was here  last summer

Pressing plans in September will mean that the sound clips and video footage will be uploaded  from October onwards.

Hey Francesco – may see you in Sicily on 9 September!

I should have been devastated on that warm afternoon I stepped out of the conservatory balancing my A5 on  chair loaded with strings, pliers cutters, straw hat, radio  and a cold drink to enjoy a warm sunny afternoon as I restrung my mandolin prior to our planned recording session. The sound of wood hitting stone and the slow motion replay of the fingerboard parting company with the body after all these years was accompanied with a serene sense of acceptability and inevitability. It’s possible demise opened up new possibilities as I stood at the crossroads musically, developmentally and geographically  (more another time)

After a long break – finally back online – a new start in 2010 – from 1 September onwards there will be more music, pictures and video from around the world over one calendar year
