Hi there

A big gap ; we visited the Central Studios "open Mic" once again in November again seeing Raz and Nadeen White (ill at the time ) perform superbly.

I've a new "Sunshine superman" DVD -the extensive study of the artist/writer/musician Donovan -it was a birthday present from Paula (but my DvD plays fails to see anything loaded at present).

Last night we went to our second (& the third in the series) of Basingstoke Unplgd! check out www.myspace.com/basingstokeunplgd .

Artists included Ron Peploe with Deborah Smith, a very nervous but talanted Chris Hall , Giancarlo Catelli, Josh Antonini Project and topping the Bill was "That Nadeen White Experience" -who performed a new song, plus a stunning set that was enjoyed by us, the audience and the band who responded in splendid fashion. Highlights included (apart from initially breaking a string) the "Pale pirate from Stoke Barehills -which was very popular.

The band performed tight vocals with Raz on percussion and Johnny Marvel on double bass. Nadeen White , of course, was in terrific form and worked the audience very well.
