Well, tomorrow afternoon Alison and I might be playing Geminiani and Vivaldi in the brand new recital room at Glasgow City Hall. I'd assumed it wasn't happening, as I'd heard before Christmas that the room itself wasn't going to be ready in time, but then this week it turns out that it will be. Meanwhile, Alison's in a recording session in Belgium this morning, and now that I'm playing in the Martyn B gig up the road tomorrow lunchtime, I can't take my harpsichord, so I'm not still 100% sure that we'll be there. But ... if Robert Lay can get his harpsichord there and tune it in time, I'll be dashing off stage at the Concert Hall around 2.45 and jumping in a taxi with harmonium, organ and melodica to go a few hundred yards down the hill, hopefully in time for us to start playing when the orchestral concert comes out in the main hall at 3pm. Let's see.
