LOCKDOWN VIDEOS

Inspired by colleagues the world over and missing live performance, I have been recording unedited videos from my music room at home. My recording equipment is very basic and some of these items are to be taken with a light heart, but I hope they give pleasure to my listeners as they have done to me in the process of selecting and concocting them.

Latest Video: see the Lockdown Video page for the full list
