2021
early January: with England currently in lockdown and no known time when this will be eased, it’s unfortunately impossibly to plan any live events at the moment – nor have I (so far) given any on-line concerts of workshops, as I much prefer to work face-to-face
I am however practicing regularly, improving and extending my repertoire – I will also be posting free TAB/notation on a regular basis – and I’m writing articles for the press
I look forward to an end of the pandemic, when I can give concerts and live performances again
