How could I have forgotten a great night in Worcester, near Boston where Alan and Caroline came to see us play in a classical concert.??? It snowed in the evening and it was so great to see familiar faces when I've been away so long!!!!
Here's one of me in rehearsal that evening in the hall.









Me an Our Pal in de snow and a smashing self portrait of the 3 of us....Pure savage!










Not long after this was the 1st of March or the Bulgarian equivalent of St. Patrick's Day....as we left the hotel at 8am for an horrendous bus journey of 11 hrs we all were presented with these wrist bracelets, all made by the orchestra to celebrate the day. Here's all the Irish crew with them on at the back o the bus......







Cork colours an all like....deadly!!!

There then insued one of the finest days I've ever had on a tour especially with the people I was with....a 6hr jam session on the bus non-stop no repeating songs no nothing just song/tune reel/jig after another....with everyone involved. It was in a word....staggering, especially for someone with a real 'disciplined' approach to music. Jamming in the real sense of the word. Here are some snaps of the unforgetable journey.......Enjoy


Not a bit enjoying myself!!!!
