Worried about speaking too soon but may actually be able to go!!

Fourth time lucky?...



Hope so : would be great to see you Juniper!

Yes please. This is dependent though on whether I can get enough paid work to have the money to come.

Fingers crossed Flossie

Nope, the easiest route is Victoria line from King's X to Vauxhall and get the train from there - all Waterloo trains to Teddington stops at Vauxhall.

On the rare occasion that the Victoria line is running...

W

I know... but it does run that weekend; I checked (and most of the engineering works on the line will be done this year anyway according to TfL)

I've just had a look a the train times (well, for the 16th Jan which was the furthest ahead they would go). What time does the event start? I need to think about whether it is actually feasible...


This is the route the National Rail Journey Planner thing has just thrown up.

I have put the date in my diary, and plan to be at this event.

Cannot wait, looking forward to it.



Regards, Peter.

Geat news!

W

Suepea's event, with a professional theatre coach, now on the calendar

Will be great to meet up again! Look forward to hearing your cor anglais

It's been some while since the Emma Johnson concert : looking forward to seeing you again taxidriver!

Added OctaviaPiano and davidmackay's 'come and play' event in St. Albans to the calendar

Have made a couple of small changes to the calendar, moving the Players for Pleasure Tamworth event from March to August, and changing the Royal Northern Saxophone Day entry to reflect its likely two day status next year.

The date for the annual Colchester Institute Single Reed day (Sunday 16th May) now on the calendar

Lois's potential West Midlands playing event now on the calendar : more details to follow.

Can I add another appeal?

I can deal with clarinet, flute and saxophone events, but my knowledge outside these three instruments is patchy, so if you know of any instrument-specific events in your specialist field, can you let me know? Thanks!

Does anyone know when the Chetham's piano weeks are in 2010, for example?

Does anyone know if another forum concert is planned for Chester next September?

According to their advert in the latest 'Pianist' magazine, Chets next year is;

"Part one: 20-25 August 2010"
"Part two: 25-30 August 2010"

Next Chester will, all being well, be in September 2011. In September 2010, Appassionata is planning to do an event in Brighton. Bring a bucket and spade



Fab, thanks oldnotes!

Barry, as you know I don't believe it's viable to have two concerts in the West Midlands within a short space of time. In view of the call from you and others for lois to have her concert later in the year instead of in March, I've withdrawn my Tamworth concert. Can you remove it from the calendar please.

Tamworth duly removed, Chetham's duly added.

Following the success of yesterday , I've put plans for more of the same (and some other things that may be different ) in South East London on the calendar for 2010.

Added details to Solari's piano Grand Gatherings, and the Cardiff idea from Looney Tunes.

Have added the opening date for bookings for the Chetham's Piano Summer School, and a weblink

I DEFINITELY would like to come next time!
Thank you for organaizing this.

Added details of Solari's piano days to the calendar, and also the clarinet day promoted by madbassoonist in Cambridge on 28th February.

I know there's more in the pipeline in London and the South East, meaning the calendar is going to look very red fairly soon!....

Seeing as lois's Midlands event might now be put back to December, I'll re-look at the other venues I had in mind in the Midlands with a view to organising a March event for those people who wanted one earlier in the year - could you add this to the calendar please Barry?

Oooooooooh. Goody.

I'll take that as yes to a flute ensemble then

I am not conducting. Never again

Obviously I lost the thread, rather literally in this case, is the Angelsey event now cancelled/postponeds? I know that it was going to be a differnt format this year but I was still hoping to be involved somehow.

Sure



Since petrat left the forum, I've heard nothing from her, and I can only assume that it either isn't happening, or she doesn't want it promoted on the forum...

I think I remember you saying that about performing, all those concerts ago

Lois' Birmingham concert now dated (6/11) and on the calendar.

There's some green writing on the events calendar

Lois

There is indeed lois Green, the colour of the West Midlands!

I think it would be lovely to ultimately see every colour on there somewhere...

East Midlands would be nice - we don't even have a very nice colour...

W

Aw

I can always change the colour...

Know anywhere local to willobie-land?

Did you get the email I sent you the other day, willobie (I'm not sure if I've still got your correct email address)...?

Colour changed

Oooops. Yes I did - I will email you.

W


Like the make-over!
Can't think of anywhere at the moment. We have had things in Leicester in the past - that's not too far for me...

W

The second Leicester venue in particular was lovely. Wonder if nicki_flute still has contacts there?...

Yesterday, I was with meerkat (who many of you will remember ), and amongst other things, we were discussing the resurrection of the Market Harborough playdays, and other things in the area for 2010 and beyond.

Watch this space, but it does look like the East Midlands will get something for 2010, and for subsequent years

seconded!!!

Lois

You like that

For those who joined the forums recently, Market Harborough was the original playday, and back in 2007 we used to have four or five in a year. We're aiming to book 2 or 3 events for 2010, but we haven't yet got as far as nailing any dates yet.

There is at least one very nice piano in Harborough that's reasonably accessible too...

Cardiff musical gathering, with solo and ensemble playing opportunities about to be added to calendar. Sunday 7th February, 1-5pm. Organised by LooneyTunes.

b-c will be there

I will be there along with my duet partner. Looking forward to it.

PM LooneyTunes your details : and we'll see you there!
