Friday 9th April - 7.30 pm - St Huberts

Dave is going to teach me computer skills... but until then I am advertising my forthcoming events here!! (the date page will get updated as soon as I know how or Dave learns to type with his thumb and forefinger - only things sticking out of the pot on his arm!!!! - sadly at the wrong angle which involves pointing his elbow at a ridiculous angle up to the ceiling to prod the keyboard.....) He is plainly in an awful lot of pain right now though and needs some time to re-coop.

Next concert - featuring my new tune about the goings on in the Vatican in 1635....
Friday 9th April - 7.30 at St Huberts, Dunsop Bridge - (if you put a cross over the whole of the UK Dunsop Bridge is officially the 'centre') - near Slaidburn and Whitewell, nr Clitheroe.

forthcoming concert

To give you advance warning I make a return visit to Dunsop Bridge alongside singer/songwriter Andy Hill - Friday 9th April, St Hubert's, Dunsop Bridge - 7.30 pm.

I have been busy composing a new tune - all set in 1635. Urban XII was the Pope and two of his Cardinals were both called Barberini, presumably from the same family. In order to impress the Pope, who had a collection of rare harps, they commissioned a tripleharp - now known as The Barberini Harp - you can see it in a museum in Rome. My tune centres around a Priest who 'borrows' the Cardinal's hat for a day and gets into all sorts of trouble. Eventually all is resolved when he dances the Tarantella and rids himself of the 'spiders in his head' which seem to have caused all the bother in the first place...
