Festive round-up 2025

Welcome dear friends to my 2017 musical round up.

Not only has it been a great year for music but it’s been one that has involved big change. In September I left the University of Brighton after almost 12 years and although it was a wrench leaving my workmates, these days I feel like an Orca released from SeaWorld with a renewed taste for blue water.
I also completed my Masters with a distinction thanks to fine teachers, classmates and the support of my beautiful husband Mr D.
