On Friday night I was honoured to have live versions of two of my songs included in an online streamed performance for World Stage Live. The gig was broadcast on Facebook and YouTube, and included three other artists’ performances, in the UK and in Kenya.
The full videos of my performances are available here, for anybody who missed it.

I am delighted to have been invited back to Pellafort Press this coming Wednesday (20th November) to play the piano at the opening night of a brand new exhibition – ‘Explosive‘ – by London-based Russian painter Natalia Avdeeva.
The exhibition itself will run for two weeks (20th November – 5th December). As well as being a showcase for Natalia’s wonderful paintings, the display will feature a short video about Natalia and her personal approach to creating her artwork. In collaboration with Natalia and videographer Sophie Shaw, I have contributed an all-original soundtrack for this video, written to capture the energy and vitality of Natalia’s way of working, and her passion and vibrance as an artist.
For access to the opening evening of the exhibition on 20th November, please see details here.

This short video from the guys at Pellwood is well worth a look…
First video recording with the Jimmy Roe Trio, shot live at EPIC Studios in Norwich.
As ever, many thanks to my friends at Carrera Drums, Pellwood Drumsticks and Anglia Drum Centre for supplying all the gear I am using in the shoot.
I shall be performing with with my good friend Jimmy Roe in his famous Jimmy Roe Trio at VicFest in Martham (Norfolk), in the first live performance with the brand new Trio line-up at 2:30pm on Saturday 3rd August.
A few days later, we shall be recording a live video with the Trio at EPIC Studios in Norwich, featuring some of the latest new material on which we have been working. Stay tuned for a link to these when they are online!
I’m really enjoying working with Jimmy again, and can’t wait for you all to see and hear the new tracks.
This Friday, the Sistema In Norwich Martineau Orchestra will be performing live at EPIC Studios in Norwich, in the biggest, most exciting end-of-term concert to date. This will include linking up with In Harmony Liverpool over the internet to perform simultaneously via a live video stream, as well as the involvement of In Harmony Lambeth and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Doors open at 7:00pm, and the performance begins at 7:30pm – tickets are free, but must be booked in advance (details below). For those who can’t attend the concert in person, the whole event will also be streamed live online, on the EPIC Studios TV website.
Having worked hard all year with the children from Sistema In Norwich, I am very excited to be involved in what is believed to be a world first (two Sistema orchestras playing together through an online video link) with them, and I am looking forward to everyone being able to see the results of all our efforts! Please tune in and watch, if you can’t make it to EPIC Studios on the night.
