![]() Next Thursday 18th July I will be performing with Hilary Boxer, cello, Jane Greenwood, cello and David Cottam, guitar at the Corn Barn bear Cullompton. It is a gorgeous, rustic venue, with a cosy yet elegant feel. The last time I played there was with Hilary in the mid-winter. We warmed up our spirits with a 'Festive Flute' programme including Villa-Lobos's 'The Jet Whistle', but it was still really very cold, in reality.... so.... I am looking forward to playing our sunny programme (including works by Piazzolla, Telemann and traditional folk from here and abroad) in SUNNY CLIMES (yes, here in Blighty! Blimey!). I rehearsed with David this morning in the depths of Devon, and couldn't resist taking off on an impromtu walk across the fields afterwards. (Feeling all Thomas Hardy.) A walk, that in my memory took 30mins, actually took me 80mins in the midday, glorious technicolour light, with the mad beauty filled song of the Skylark and the blank blue sky that you can almost hear humming and weighing itself on you....

I kept John Pearce a bit too long this morning. (I couldn't bear to break up our conversation, when he'd come so far.) As a result, I didn't have enough time to play out your dad's recording of 'Jet Whistle' - just to whet the appetite as it were. Instead I just managed to squeeze in Hilary and David's extraordinary 'Bachianas Brasileiras' - which also serves, I hope.
