If you’re a big fan of The Sam Jewion Orchestra then, well… I suppose you’ve no need to read this because you’ll be aware of it already. For the rest of the population, though, I’d like to point out that this coming Tuesday (16th) I shall be joining this motley crew for another wild performance …

December in Review
It’s been rather a while since my last update, so this is going to be something of a retrospective of the past month and a summary of all the wild things I’ve been up to. Just so you know I’ve been keeping busy. December got off to a roaring start, with a trip over to …
‘Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’, London, 22/11 to 2/12
After doing a couple of fairly serious musicals, it will be nice to relax a bit over the next fortnight and play something that doesn’t make any great claims to profundity (although it does stake several claims to profanity)! For I will be playing flute, clarinet, alto saxophone and tenor saxophone for Sedos’ production of …

Gypsy, in Westcliff, 8th-11th November

Carousel, in Woking
Well I’ll be waltzing my way to the wonderful world of Woking this week to play clarinet (and the odd little bit of flute) for Woking Amateur Operatic Society’s production of Carousel! Rodgers and Hammerstein regarded this as the greatest of their collaborations, so if you want to find out why then come along at …
Welsh Musical Theatre Orchestra, this weekend
I’ve got my dragon repellent at the ready, in preparation for a trip to Wales this weekend to play with the Welsh Musical Theatre Orchestra! I’ll be doing some clarimanet and some saxomophone for two concerts, the first of which is ‘A Night at the Musicals’, taking place on Saturday 21st October in …
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, in Eastleigh
If you like blog posts that start with ‘If you like blog posts that start with […], you’ll love this’, you’ll love this! The title of this one has probably given you a clue to the fact that I’ll soon be travelling to Eastleigh, to play a selection of instruments for Southampton Musical Society’s production …
Oh, It Hasa, Hasa It?
