Happy New Year!
|
Hope the teenies are a good one for you my loyal blog readers. Moving to London has been good fun, I like the sense of adventure and push it really gives you. When it stops being fun I shall leave. Highlights were composing for a chamber orchestra, directing a practitioner ensemble for Banded About (loads of esteemed classical/jazz musicians who were really complimentary), already blagging gigs in London, playing in various ensembles and leaving dodgy ones – (I experienced some interesting interactions with weird/egotistical musos, suppose us note bashers are all a lil strange), and developing my skills as a community musician. Aims for this year are to be self-discplined and to drink more water. What are yours? |

A late Akemashite Omedetou De Gozaimasu (Happy New Me)
A new year, new year’s resolutions, brand new second hand you, new diaries, new socks. Instead of resolutions I have made some determinations (kind of similar) but the process is habitual (twice daily in fact), and I am winning, I’ll share
