Spreading my Wings

This has been an exciting year for me, and as exciting years go, they usually hot up even more towards the end!

I was so happy when I received notification from an Australian radio show, that they will be playing some of my compositions on Sunday (20 November), in their program Plucked Strings. The nice thing is, they record the shows, so this can be played back up to a few weeks after the live stream. How amazing it is to connect with people so far away through the miracles of modern technology!

On top of that, (although unrelated, but still a passion of mine), I will be exhibiting some of my oil paintings, as part of the Art Thursdays in Obz art route. It is always gratifying to see them in new surroundings, and to hear people's feedback on them.

And I was once again blessed, when earlier this year I acquired a guitar, that is so thin, light and beautiful, it is adding a whole new dimension to my playing.

 This Miguel Almeria is going in for some hardware upgrades, and I aim for it to be ready for a test run at the Alexander Upstairs "Playthings" on 4 December. I'll play alongside my music mandalas, and explain my composition process.

What a way to end an already fantastic year!
