I've got a few concerts coming up and thought of keeping a Blog for people to look at.
Yes, this is kind of an invite and an advert, not too much subversion or aversion and hopefully no perversion or inversion; probably more extroversion than introversion.
"CLEARLY..."
As a good friend of mine often says; many will know who I mean... well relatively many.
(Can anyone tell me a good reply to that please: I've often searched for one.)

which leads me to my next point...
Charity Carol singing hosted by Holy Trinity Clapham Common, at the Sun Pub.
5pm-6pm Saturday 17th December 2011, The Pavement, (which is the street name) Clapham Common. I'm tickling those plastic ivories...

swiftly followed by...
Mary Magdalene's Wandsworth Common Christmas Carol Service, 5pm Sunday 18th December 2011
As above for travel.
of course there's also...
The Fellowship of the String is involved at The Half Moon Pub on Friday 16th December 2011.
Barnaby Hughes and I are doing a 20 minute set of original songs, some of which have been premiered at Literary Lunches at Terre di Sud this year. The pub's in Herne Hill: NOT LOWER RICHMOND ROAD and we're on "at some point" (whatever that means... probably after 8pm).THIS VENUE INFORMATION HAS CHANGED!
and...
Lucy Britton is singing with her choir Chantage at St James' Piccadilly at 7pm on Friday 9th December 2011 in a Christmas Concert. If you google them you'll see they are really excellent (BBC choir of the year a little while ago.) A few of us went to their poignant Remembrance Concert in the City last week; along with the fantastic Scottish actor reading Wilfred Owen they were the real highlight.
There is also...
Jesus Christ the Fullness of Life ecumenical service,
Church of the Immaculate Conception, Farm Street W1, 730pm Thursday 1st December.
Peter Kingsley and various folk will be playing and leading a reflective service of words and music around the theme of God's Mercy. If you'd like to be involved in the music, do go along at 630pm beforehand. I'm not playing at this one on this occasion. There is usually something along these lines on the first Thursday of the month.
And closer to hand...
Christ the King, Holy Mass followed by reception.
Saturday 19th November at 6pm, at St Mary of the Angels, Ladbroke Grove. Music and words from Artists and Musicians from Sarah de Nordwall's Bard School.
or if you have some free Sunday time...
Connect Service at Holy Trinity Clapham Common, 530pm for 6pm, Sunday 20th December. This features doughnuts and Anglicharangelicalism plus yours truly on keyboards. There's another of these on Sunday 11th December.
and if you haven't made plans for Christmas...
I'm playing at St Ann's Kingston Hill on Christmas Eve for Midnight Mass and on the 25th December for the Mass at 1030am. If anyone would be interested in playing or singing with me that day (or the 24th) please let me know (you should get there for a rehearsal at 930am - there is NO public transport and taxi's are triple rate that day I think - I should have one booked from Lavender Hill and will have a Priest powered lift back to the same afterwards...)
