A picture of Alice and Derek from our recent concert at the end of November.

I'm still trying to find out how this blog thingy works and I notice that you can insert a video as well as pictures so in preparation for when I've completed the video of 'Film Noir' I thought I would try this feature out to see how it works. At the moment we only have one video of a song so it will have to be that - Arabesque - so apologies if you've already watched it having visited the website. Here goes....

Dropping in the video file with the 'Add Video' icon didn't seem to work so I've copied in the HTML code to link to the YouTube site. I'll have to do some more research.....

Taking a rest from trying to write new material I've been looking at some traditional songs for the band to have a go at when we get together again in the New Year. One that I've been working on is 'John Barleycorn' which is a well known song from the tradition. I've got an idea for an arrangement so we'll see how it goes down with the rest of the band at the next rehearsal.

All that's left is to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very musical New Year!

John
