Hi Alcyona,

I've been living in Glasgow. In London today but back up North tomorrow. Next time I'm coming down I'll be in touch beforehand as it would be great to catch up.

Ta for the reply...yes it was indeed a late one as they always are there!!!
Would be lovely to bring my band to London, but it being a 10-piece bossa band means it will probably be unlikely! Let me know if you're up north again & perhaps we can catch up over a beer or 2...

Hi Alcyona!

Just thought I'd drop by and let you know about my free performance at the National Theatre on Wednesday 18th April!

If you're in London, come along to have a drink, listen to my music and make sure you say hi! If you're not in London, watch out for pics on myspace at the end of next week.

Enjoy the weekend. Lots of Love,

Aneesa x

Thanks for the add, Alcyona. I like your stuff a lot - Black notes White notes is very compelling and engaging. Maybe it's down to us both liking Ligeti and having our CDs pressed at RPM...!
Look forward to seeing you play.
