All good thanks - hope you too. Must be due for another catch-up soon! Your painting reminded me of Dr Jenner’s Temple of Vaccinia somehow (in Berkeley)!

Working in London this weekend and taking up a colleague’s recommendation for this awesome sound installation - Data-Cosm [No. 1] (2024) by Ryoji Ikeda. Lying on the floor and gazing up in awe. Can’t wait to share all about it with the @uwebristolofficial.bsky.social Music Tech students on Tuesday!

Huge thanks to Flowers Band and Paul Holland for the most beautiful performance of my ‘Serenata’ this afternoon in Cheltenham - and for asking me to say a few words before the performance. Brilliant concert! 🎶

Delighted to find out that two movements from my ‘Rhythm of Light’ will be broadcast on @bbcradio3 next Sunday evening on the Brass Banding with Hannah Peel show, recorded by Hepworth Band and conducted by Ryan Watkins. The music celebrates the life and work of sculptor Barbara Hepworth.

Lots of steam and the privilege of playing the Broadwood grand piano at Eastnor Castle today.

Really thrilled that my 'Beyond the Light' recorded by Grimethorpe Colliery Band with Jack Stamp conducting, was featured on BBC Radio 3 last evening in this exciting new series: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... (listen at 15.14).

Thrilled to have my ‘Silver Rose’ performed by the Brighouse and Rastrick Band this weekend at the Royal Northern College of Music International Brass Band Festival, conducted by David Bremner & narrated by Micha Lazarus. Huge thanks to everyone & to Festival Director David Thornton for programming.

Happy New Year everyone and thanks for all the music and friendships! Here are some 2024 performances in a few photos. 💖

My first Bluesky post & it’s a music one. 😊 🎶 Travelled to Perth this weekend (that’s the bridge on my profile) where the excellent London based Regent Brass & their conductor Alan Duguid played a piece of mine at the Scottish Challenge contest. Music is always so good shared with others. 😍
