A performance for internal staff awards event at The University of Johannesburg was the lovely cosy spot for tonight’s event. The campus grounds were lush with the Jacarandas just coming into bloom.
It was the first evening that the staff of the department had all been in the same room since the start of the pandemic, making for a warm , joyful mood as guests caught up and as one guest remarked -she was so happy to be dressed up to the nines again!
Nestled in a lush green garden was a laid-back setting for an outdoor 40th birthday bash. Special requests for this event included Classical music and some Irish tunes and a smattering of Big Band favourites.
Write a poem for a loved-one, have it set to music and for a special touch add a violin recording to add extra heart-string tugs. Just finished recording a violin session for a bespoke gift song written by a husband to his wife for their upcoming anniversary.
Spring is in the air! Playing ‘Spring’ by Vivaldi at a recent wedding, so lovely to have some birds chirping along. It seemed fitting to play ‘Spring’ and join the chorus of birds!

A sumptuous dinner cooked for friends, complete with table décor, dress up and live music.
Film shoots usually start early, so I got to see the sun rise on set this morning for a romantic scene, whilst playing some classical numbers.
I am so grateful for opportunities like this at a time when places to play are few and far between.
