Dear All,

So far this beautiful autumn season has brought many gorgoeus gigs my way! The Iona Leigh Band have been hard at work spreading magical music to autumn audiences! We have met some wondeful people along the way, made some new friends/fans who we hope to see at some of our future gigs this winter! I've had the pleasure of working with some fab new additions to the Iona Leigh band, includind Jannike on backing vocals and Buzz on drums - thank you both for all your hard rehearsing and performing! Thanks again to all of you for coming out in the wind and rain to see us play live and we hope to see you again soon! We have some great gigs coming up ... including a feature spot at the beautiful Union Chapel - so please keep checking my gig page! : )

Autumn Blessings,

Dear Friends,

I was blessed with a wonderful Christmas present this year - a fantastic new Shruti Box! As much as I loved my old, second hand Shruti box, it was a little unpredictable at times and quite hard to operate! I've already had two great opportunities to play my new shruti - firstly when visiting my friend Mo while she was in hospital to cheer her up - and the rest of the ward it seems! Secondly, when accompanying 250 friends sing 'Auld Lang Syne' (see picture above) at Hogmanay in the Universal Hall! I love it and can't wait to play it for you all some time soon! You can find out more about this wonderful instrument at: www.shrutibox.co.uk. Happy New Year Everyone! : )
