Web page updates and stuff

Saturday saw the stag do of Andre, my future brother-in-law who will marry my lovely sister Liz in June. It was a fabulous day, a good crowd of really nice friends all dressed in outrageous 1970s gear, complete with mullets, moustaches and afros!

Today I am feeling ever-so-slightly enterically fragile but have been brightened considerably by the generous help of Jimbo who once more has very kindly put his cyber-genius to the Fisher cause.

There are a number of new extracts of music now available to listen to on both my Myspace and web site.

Jim says that my blog needs a few more pictures and so took this rather embarrassing photo in the garden while we had a coffee with Rupes. Cheers Jim.

Cheltenham Jazz Festival

Phewee! Just come out of a really hectic few days of tutorials, rehearsals one wedding and a festival. A LOT of driving every day (averaging 150 miles a day), for which I am now grateful for a few days free to sort myself out domestically. The wedding ran smoothly, and was a picture-postcard treat. I accompanied Caroline Corrie (matron of honour) who sang 2 songs during the signing of the register. Sunday saw me playing at the Kandinsky Hotel at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival with the incredible Kate Brown, who is simply a phenomenal talent, and who very professionally put up with learning a considerable amount of new material at the last minute. What a star.

This week sees more tutorials at Southampton Uni, some professional transcription and, and hopefully a moment to compose, which I haven't found that much time for recently. Am looking forward to it.
