 La Jeusseliniere concert |
In July 2003 I visited La Jeusseliniere, Martyn Wyndham-Read's Loire Valley "retreat", for a 1-week workshop with Vin Garbutt. When I walked into the room, by way of an introduction - we hadn't met before - Vin launched into "The Flowers And The Guns" - which I didn't know he had learned. To say I was gob-smacked would be
an understatement. It was an amazing start to a wonderful week. I thoroughly recommend these workshops held with various "tutors" at la Jeusseliniere; in 2004 I will be joining Harvey Andrews' week, while Vanessa will be availing herself of Dan's extensive collection of "arts and crafts" materials and opportunities. Visit Martyn's site to find out more. |
 With Vin Garbutt at La Jeusseliniere. He does my "Flowers" real proud. In fact, he fair puts me to shame when he "gives it wellie" at the end! |
 Supporting Eric Bogle at the Watford concert. Best compliment of the evening : Eric saying to the auditorium "I will burn George's CDs - don't need the competition". An obvious overstatement and unfair comparison, but I won't forget. |
 Before the Eric Bogle Watford concert with Eric, Martyn Wyndham-Read, Iris Bishop, Johnny Collins, Graeme Knights (MC for the evening) and my good friend, Tim Frost (organiser of the concert) hiding in the background. July 2003 |
 Watford concert. Out of 300 people I was singing to my daughter in the front row. I think she knew. |

 "Be reasonable; demand the impossible NOW". Robb's writing leaves me spellbound. And Steve's shuts me up pretty well too. |
