Catch Up

In my efforts to remember what I have done in the last 6 months it has dawned on me what a busy boy I have been.

I left you in Zurich, towards the end of the EUYO tour. This then went to Kazakhstan where we played in two cities, the new capital Astana (only ten years old and nothing more than a building site the size of a medium sized city) and the old capital Almaty (beside the mountains that form the border of Kazakhstan and China. The culture of this country was so different than anything I have ever seen and the girls were incredibly beautiful, combining the best features of China, Mongolia and Russia. Borat could not be any further from the truth.

After the tour most of my efforts were concentrated on preparing my final recital and passing my degree. I am now the proud owner of a degree from a respected music college and my name is now eight letters longer (See updated name above) . Not quite in league with our father but working on it as I will shortly be starting my Masters, also in the GSMD.

This summer I was a traveling musician (or minstral) My dulcet tones were heard in Bantry House, Devon, Cornwall, London, Dublin, several Italian towns, all over Surrey and various other interesting places. I also feature in two new Irish/Pop crossover DVDs, for Celtic man and (real originality here!) Celtic woman. If you see either of these bands on tv in the near future there is a reasonably good chance of also seeing me.


That pretty much brings us up to date. An update on the various animals is still to follow.

Long Absence

It has been a rather long time since anything has been written on my blog. I will update you briefly on the rest of the tour (now 6 months late) and give a quick synopsis of my many and varied activities since. The progress of the animals (tarantulas and housemates) must also be commented on before normal service can be resumed. Watch this space......
