Balkan Music Workshop - Bridge Farm, Bristol - Sunday, May 17th
This is your final nudge that our Balkan Music Workshop at the wonderful Bridge Farm is happening this Sunday, May 17th! What’s in the secret bag? 🤫 I’ll be sharing a couple of gems from my private collection, including a charismatic, odd-metered dance piece that hasn't really made its way into the UK Balkan circles yet. We’ll learn by ear (it’s more intuitive that way!), but I’ll have sheet music as a "safety net" for those who want it. The Details: 📅 When: Sunday 17th May

Happy International Jazz Day! 🎻✨
To celebrate, I’m sharing a little slice of high-energy joy: the final Gypsy Swing section of Zigano, performed with my wonderful partner-in-crime, Jeremy. There’s something about the "Manouche" spirit that just feels like a proper party, isn't it? 🥂💃 This excerpt captures the Magic Violin soul at its most playful. Jazz is all about freedom and conversation, and there’s no conversation I enjoy more than a fast-paced swing with a dear friend. Enjoy this moment with us!!
