To tell the truth there would have been three more from here if I had paid attention properly when I inadvertently copy-pasted an incomplete list into the PM to Car Expert. Sorry folks but I hope you know you are appreciated anyway! There's a few more categories left so I hope to make up for the part ommission soon...

No idea what they'll be playing though. EDIT:" Oboist Nicholas Daniel and pianist Huw Watkins will be performing Nielsen, Bach and one of Huw Watkins' own compositions in the studio and talking to Sean about upcoming concerts at the Lake District Summer Music Festival 2010." (From the Radio 3 website) So there you have it.

I've been off the "net" for a few days and came back eagerly for some "oboistica" and there's no-one here... Only pushpull over there on the other threads busy being one of the ten Funniest Folks on the Forums (congrats for that pushpull! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap.gif) ). I suppose kerioboe is off at oboe school (looking forward to hearing about htat), perhaps flobiano is already in Finland... and maybe Andrew just has a big post-birthday hangover? And I suppose the rest of you are having a well-earned summer holiday... No news from Howarths yet as to why my C# and Eb may have become stiff but I'm gradually getting used to it...

Prodigy Group: Members Posts: 1434 Joined: 27-August 09 Member No.: 73855	I'm still lurking - not going away till the end of the week. Haven't been doing much new, oboe wise....missing orchestra, missing lessons, but keeping up with the practice - spending a lot of time on scales with different articulations and dynamics focussing on tone, tuning, vibrato. Not incredibly exciting but hopefully it will pay off in the long term. I'm really looking forward to hearing how Kerioboe has got on at the Oboe school too.
