Romanian trip

Our annual trip to Alba Iulia in Romania was splendid once more!
Our old friend Mihai Coser invited us once more to host an evening of vocal harmony - this year our guests were the excellent Berliner quartet - Delta Q.
They were terrific:- as ever, wonderful to meet another vocal band & to share in their excellence; they are indeed a teensy weensy bit younger than us! - nonetheless very very accomplished.... especially enjoyed their funky In einem kühlen Grunde & their countdown medley... great ending too... I feel good!
Steve was good enough to sing Skyfall - this time accompanied by us and Chris Hatt, who flew out to join us on piano - and Delta Q also sang an Adele number - clearly she is well-loved in Romania as the songs went down good!

Now we look forward to our gig with St Edmund's School, Canterbury - we had a rehearsal with them tonight, and the pieces we are doing with them already sound great - and they are still rehearsing all next week... should be cool at Grosvenor Chapel on July 9th....7.30 (It's in central London!)

Fabulous evening

Truly splendid time in Vercelli; lovely playing form the orchestra, excellent audience... and all was happy...
Indeed, Steve sang Skyfall especially brilliantly too!

Hopefully the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship with this delightful NE corner of Italy.

Husband and wife team Guido (Conductor/Director) & Cristina (Manager, & pianist too) were wonderful company and a delight to work with...

On the way home via Turin airport, I had a terrific afternoon in the Turin Egyptian Museum - more antiquities than I could really take in - quite fantastic & spellbinding.  Then the alps which were sitting there gloriously as we approached Turin were in tremendous light as we flew over them home...
