Sorry for delay, my laptop is being weird and not letting me open the internet even though I'm connected. It's something to do with the Norton Anti Virus so I'm trying to sort it. Don't really understand computers that well though so we'll have to keep our fingers crossed that whatever I'm doing will work!

So the important news. The concerts! They have been going great. The last one is today and they do seem to be getting progressively better so hopefully today should be amazing! We had one little hiccup on Friday when there was a power cut just as we reached 'And he was buried...' in Mozarts Coronation Mass. Strangely appropriate timing! The Orchestra and Choir both carried on until the end on that section (about 15/20 bars or something) and then there were huge cheers from the audience! So it was quite good fun really and the performance continued about 15 mins later once the generators were up and running. Really hope that doesn't happen again tonight! Children from the Tender Talents school (the one supported by David Juritz and Musequality) are singing in the concert aswell. They're awesome! So on the whole everything is going great as far as the concert's are concerned. Sam now wants to be a percussionist as a result of him playing tambourine in Money Money Money...!

My other excitement is that yesterday (Sat) I was live on Ugandan radio! It was a debate about music and education in Uganda and how it has stopped and what should be done about it etc. Was really good fun actually! Feel like a star...haha!

The next thing we have to concentrate on is our visiting teachers concert which is just over a month away! Gotta get practising! Not sure there's any other news that's exciting really. Better go as I'm using the family PC. Bye for now. X
