Hi there
Just back from Coventry! I was teaching and performing at The Herbert – a funky museum worth a visit, if you’re in the area. It is full of wonderful information, visual and aural spaces, touchy-feely bits, extremely moving and poignant spaces (especially the collection of Auschwitz shoes in the cellar). I recommend it to everyone as a great way to spend the day.

The day was organised by Jack Shuttleworth (an ideas man if ever there was one!) who came up with the idea to ‘explore the space’ and work on creating music within the space in response to the surroundings. Harpotunities is the name of the project dedicated to bringing small harps to Coventry. I commend them for their efforts, enthusiasm and energy! It was a great day.
*And a special thanks to Heather and Nick, who put David and I up the night before, and introduced us to their ‘Raclette’ (a talking point which we were individually able to cook our own dinner on while all sitting round the table!!) and their chill-out room with a myriad of gadgets to explore.

I have just been emailed a link to gather.com where Kerry Dexter, who I met last year at Celtic Connections, has written an article. I hadn’t come across this virtual meeting place before, so am posting the link here.

And so now back to working on the Opening Concert for Celtic Connections this year on Thursday 15th January in the Main Auditorium at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall! It’s the Cape Breton Connection, exploring the links between Scotland and Cape Breton, Nova Scotia! And what a line up of artists!
