Saturday 27 March 2004

Well, spring any day now it certainly is. At last a day to be spent outdoors, rather than on the various administrative tidyings-up going on around my desk: budgets to balance and people to be paid.

Now that the feverish activity of March is over, the rest of the year stretches out quite neatly. I'm playing on two recordings for other people: early Acadian music with Suzie le Blanc (and David G and Chris Norman) in Montréal in June, and Geminiani with Alison in August. Also in August, there's the possibility of three different sets of gigs in Canada within a week: duo gigs with DG, the Acadian songs with Suzie, and with Chris's band. And there's editing and post-production on 3 CDs: The Red Red Rose for Delphian awaits its final edit, I still have to edit the Kellie Castle material from over a year ago, and the follow up to SADN is currently a large pile of DATs, MDs and CD-Rs in a corner of my study. I don't expect that to start taking shape properly for a month or three yet.
