Gypsy, in Westcliff, 8th-11th November
This coming week sees me embarking on an epic adventure to Westcliff, to perform as part of Little Theatre Company’s production of ‘Gypsy’ at the Palace Theatre. Come along and let me entertain you by playing a lot of flute, a fair bit of alto saxomophone, more piccolo than is tasteful (i.e. any at all), …

DUPO Easter Term Concert 2015 – Now With HQ Audio!
So a couple of years ago I played in a concert with Durham University Palatinate Orchestra and I took a video of the concert and at the same time someone else took a high-quality audio recording of the concert, and originally I intended to combine the two in order to create a video that also …
