Comment: Hot 3 at Nybrokajen 11
This is a report from my room in Hotel Adlon, Stockholm. What a glorious city this is; I have spent many hours walking its streets, admiring its majestic design and its relaxed, grown-up urban ecology, where people seem to know how to function with efficiency in a laid-back, relatively stress-free […]
Comment: Orkest De Volharding at The Sage Gateshead

Christopher Fox, excellent composer and Professor at Brunel University, was there too, introducing the programme in his capacity as its curator. Before him, Ros Rigby came on stage to […]

July 2006
To the best of my knowledge there were two performances of my music in July, and both were on the same day: 9 July. In the afternoon, the Edinburgh-based ensemble Mr McFall’s Chamber played Botanic Spider at All Saints Quayside, as part of the ¡Vamos! Festival. In the same programme […]
