New Aberdeen date now in Forthcoming Concerts
A wee thingy in Aberdeen that I’m doing at the end of next month. It’s the North-East Classical Guitar Society AGM and they always have someone from the Academy play there.
I hear we made around £1700
In the Charity concert of last Sunday. Was a nice affair, good baking.
A few more concerts
I’ve added to the Forthcoming Concerts page the details of, well… some forthcoming concerts. It seems that these first few months of 2011 will be busy.
Oh and I also added in a wee quote given by those nice EGTA guys to the quotes page re: a wee half recital I gave in England for their AGM.
What I’ve been up to
As usual it’s been a while too long for me to have left the blog without a post. Aaaaaanyway I’ve just uploaded a new video to youtube which you can see here:
It’s just a wee video that’s part of a competition application I’ll be sending away this week. I’ve been doing a little bit of work for Scottish Opera working on the whole “A little bit of Figaro” thing, a small 20 minute reduction of the 3 and a half hour full work. We’re taking it around community centres, schools etc and it’s been really good fun so far.
I won a competition last week as well, the North East Classical Guitar Society Guitar Competition, it’s a wee RSAMD based thing that runs every year, so I’ll be playing in Aberdeen sometime next year. On Sunday I also performed in the pre-concert concert for Pavel Steidl in the Big Guitar Weekend in Glasgow, Playing the above Prelude and the complete “Fandango” Quintet by Luigi Boccherini with some colleagues from the Academy. There was a reviewer there from the Classical Guitar Magazine, so with luck there’ll be a review in there in the next 6 months or so.
That’s pretty much all I’ve been doing in the past wee while, if I remember something I’ll post it up here.
All best 
Long Overdue
OK so I’ve finally uploaded some more videos to my youtube channel, but under a different channel – the other one will be unused from now on. You can view it here.
I stuck on some videos of the China visit of last year, too.
Hope you enjoy
