Furse and White charm the audience at the Fitz

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Mike and I walked along the waterlogged path to the FitzWilliam – I just can’t get enough of the place. I can get enough of this rain though. It’s been raining for about a week now and today the river was high and muddy. Parts of the river bank near the boat houses were flooded […]

Samuel Queen at the FitzWilliam

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I cycled along the tow path into Cambridge just for fun today and it’s so much nicer when you’re not on your way to work. I went to the FitzWilliam to go to the lunchtime concert. Today Samuel Queen was singing and Stephen Rose was playing the piano. Queen has a wonderful voice that stirs […]

Art and music with Emi and Paul Neale

Friday, September 4th, 2009

The last few days have been full of art and music. I finally got Emi’s cd and have been listening to it all evening. Emi rocks. Check out her latest tracks on Fairtilizer. I spent some time looking at Paul Neale’s pictures – you’d never know from his troubled paintings he was an amazing wit. […]

Sargeant and Taylor at FitzWilliam

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

I went to hear Chris Sarjeant and Benedict Taylor at the FitzWilliam on Sunday. The Sunday music concerts are really nice – nothing quite like sitting in an art gallery listening to gentle music. Sargeant and Taylor are folk musicians and some of their stuff was very sad and thoughtful but none the less great […]

Pixelache, Five Filters and The Bay

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

I’m off to Helsinki this weekend to go to Pixelache where K is going to be in the spotlight for a couple of minutes talking about his Five Filters project. Apparently there is snow on the ground there – so it will be like travelling back in time to the winter. I’ve got four books […]

Emi

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

I spent 60 splendiferous minutes with Emi today, talking next to the frozen river about fear and Fawkes. Check out her blog or her myspace. Her music totally rocks.

Mark Steel comments on Gaza while Obama plays golf

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

I see things have not really improved in Gaza. I’ve just been reading something Mark Steel wrote that is worth a look. Meanwhile Obama shows that he’s just the same as his predecessors – not a big surprise there then. There are protests outside the Israeli Embassy every night while this continues and there are […]

ln (1) = 0

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

Last night Keyvan and I braved the cold (and boy was it cold our hands were actually freezing) and headed into the centre to Klubb Populär at Storan. The club was cozy with red curtains and a disco ball hanging between chandeliers. Joyti’s friend Mattias was DJing and I have to say his music was […]

Wizzinipped and holidayish

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

I had a fantastic weekend. Went up to see my Granny and was fed wholesome stew and porridge. We then popped into Cambridge on the way to Norwich and had a look around Churchill, Trinity and Clare Colleges with Tim. We wizzinipped to Norwich so I could meet up with Will, Ella and Rich. We […]
