More like it

I'm rather obsessed with the views from various rooms I get put in, as
you can tell from this blog.
This one was my Hong Kong hotel room.

Hong Kong!

I am looking at Hong Kong from my window, and I've never seen anything like it. I haven't had a chance to go sight-seeing yet as I only arrived 2 days ago and played my concert last night, but I have many plans.....
Last night I ate jellyfish- I have photographic evidence which will come soon.

Welcome to Paris

I'll take two of each.

A room with a view

In case anyone thinks I'm always bragging about my beautiful hotel room views.....this is where I'm staying tonight.

Too young?

If any of the investors that own this violin are worried by the sight
of my 18 month old daughter plucking it, please don't be. She has
great pizzicato control.

LSSO

Last night was one of the most enjoyable concerts I've played in for a long time, with the LSSO at the Barbican, playing Mendelssohn.
To all the brilliant young people in the LSSO- thank you for having me, and I can't wait to come back for another one.

I would like to say, from my point of view, that when I played them I had no idea which of the modern violins were treated with the special fungus and which weren't. My favourite one apparently wasn't I'm afraid.....
And honestly, a Strad is a Strad. At least, that's what I think.
