The next live performance is at the Sussex Musicians Club on Saturday 25th March, 7.30pm at the Unitarian Church, New Road Brighton, when I will also play Seven Fantasies on Turning the Tide. This club was established many years ago by a group of women musicians who played for each other whilst their men were playing golf. It has fledged into a platform for anyone who wishes to share their music making with others in a concert situation. Visitors welcome.
