Ibiza

Next stop Ibiza on my musical journey.
The usual team and stunning pianist Gwilym Simcock stepped off our Easyjet flight into a Barmy Mediterranean evening.
Our apartment overlooked the sea and was part of a great gay hotel, with a bar so full of German men with tight shorts it was tricky getting to the bar.
Jane's knowledge of the island was invaluable, not only for finding the best shots but also the best restaurants.
We interviewed Carl and did some filming of him having a lesson from Gwilym at the resident DJ's villa up in the hills....nice.
Carl wasn't on until 3am! at 'Space'.... so we had a little rose to pass the time.
Filming in the club was great fun. a few thousand people having a good time with the big man Carl, doing his stuff. so filmed and danced and drunk until the sun came up!
Then headed to the beach for a swim and a coffee and carried on filming till our flight back.
Came home shattered. great experience. funny old place, not sure I'd choose to go back.

Ronnie Scotts

I've been playing with Sky Arts, doing their lovely music series.

We got to Film the lovely Sue Perkins doing her performance at the Cheltnam music festival. She did brilliantly.

Also as part of this we filmed Carl Cox starting to learn the 'funk piano'. charming guy who interviewed at his place in Brighton then having a mentoring session at the festival hall before beheading to Ronnie Scotts where we filmed a jam session with the 'brand new heavies'!.

If i hadn't been feeling like death warmed up it would have been incredible, as it was it was just brilliant.
